    Need some help with some ideas

    Hi my name is Jake i live in Denver,CO and have a 2005 Yukon 4wd with the 5.3 in it. Ive already did a flow pro muffler, Volant CAI, and a custom PCM tune with EFI Live. Run it last week at my local track and it ran a 17.6 at 78.88. Not to shabby for a 7000lb truck. Was wanting to do some more upgrades on the vehicle and not sure what do do next. Was wanting to a do cam next but not sure what i want or need? Also thinking of going into the transmission and someone told me to do a Trailblazer TC... Anyone got any options on what i can do to get alittle more power and not have to go in debt haha. I was thinking of a set of long tube headers also... what you guys think

    Don't touch it. One thing leads to another and you'll always want more. Then you break your shaft. You'll go into debt quick making a heavy vehicle go fast, lol...

    he has a true statement. That tranny is nit gonna hold. I got a heavy crew cab and tought I could cam it and still be fine.....was wrong. When I had tune coldair I never had a problem. I'm on tranny number 3 in 20000 miles

    Boost is the ONLY way I would go at your altitude. I live in Laramie, Wy for school and altitude is killer. Buy a nice single cab and start there. Weight is the enemy and you will have to have parts so much stronger to move that truck down the 1320 than a lighter truck would need.

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.
