    Decisions to be made.

    I am getting tired of working on my truck. I am still waiting on my 1100cc injectors. I am on the verge of just scrapping the whole turbo kit in this truck and putting everything in either a 5.3 s-10 or a notch back. I am at the point I just want something that drives all the time and is kinda fun. I do plan on getting a S/C'd CTS-V some time next year. Cant decide what to do with the truck. What would yall do.

    thats a pretty large injector, i dont blame you for wanting a different platform and having alot of downtime gets really old

    o btw i was only at 83% percent with the injectors i have on E85

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Well i am just waiting on them. I am thinking that my 370 and Pt88 in a notch or a s-10 would be a great Toy to have.

    Just kidding, yeah downtime sucks, but it makes it even better off when you finally get it done. Just get some beater for a DD and keep the truck around as a project, then fully perfect it

    down time comes with the hobby man, i been down or should i say i only ran for like 6 days since last november, before manufactured parts failed and took out the heads ( head ) and piston .. i was running soooo damn good on a stock shortblock it makes me sick lol!! sometimes i wish i would just left well enough alone, that setup was very dependable and ran really great its my last go around the motor is back together and with alittle finishing up she should be running some time tomorrow!! for how long is a different story, the aint cheap and when it fails its heart breaking, which im sure you know..

    but anyway back to your setup!! i see where ya coming from and it makes sense, are you only waiting on injectors? tuning is very important with a turbo setup, probably whats kept me from going that route, but i have been tossing it around about it next year, just cant justify the failure i went through with the 410 setup!!


    hell just get rid of everything and go cts-v lol few mods and you'll have fun in luxury

    Keep on, keeping on and just get a daily driver that...the CTS-V sounds like a good candidate for that so you can still have fun when you're not in your truck.

    Be cool to have your truck faster than you're SC'd CTS-V!

    Ya that is true, think is I have 3 other things to driver other than the truck so thats not the issue and the truck would for sure be faster than the CTS-V when its finished.
