    Ive been doing some research over this forum for the past couple weeks, figured I would go ahead a join now! Anyway, Im Dalton and Ive got a 2000 Silverado. Its the typical base 4.3/4L60E truck. I want something quicker, and Ive been torn at what to do. It was between getting into an LS1 Fbody, or playing with the truck some. A friend of mine mentioned to me, everyone has a 12 second Fbody. Why not just make your truck do that?

    So here I am.. Im planning to complete the 6.0 swap sometime this winter. Ive got a lot to learn about it, so thats why Im here. Anyone who would like to point me in the right direction to some helpfull threads, I apreciate it.

    Welcome

    Hmmmm, a LWB single cab 12 second truck. That will be a rare one. Nice color for it. Gotta love the victory red!
