    wheel and tire question w/ leveling

    hey all, i want to level my truck by lifting just the front 2". now my question is about tire/wheel combinations for just a leveling kit. i currently have 32x11.5 tires or 284/45/22 and the rims have a positive 13 offset and are 9.5" wide; now i'd like to run the same size tire but with 15x10"...

    lots of questions

    you shouldn't need a new alt for an sax1200, i know i didn't need one for my sae1200. be weary of the prefab boxes, more often than not the cubic foot they post for the box specs are a bit inflated. so in other words, don't get some subs that max out at that cubic foot. for budget amps i would...

    Having troubles with my hids

    you may flip the connection on the ballast where the stock connection goes in. these trucks most commonly have reverse polarity on the headlights. don't know if it would work but you may try. i as well have had this problem maybe 3 times; i start the truck up, no headlights, then put my steering...

    engine build questions

    okay after a little thought about that 383 i found and building it up strong. i came to the vortec's horrible induction limitations and was thinking about a tbi swap? what would be needed for this? percs to it? drawbacks to it? i was thinking that since the stock vortec induction won't...

    engine build questions

    i knew a bigger converter would allow a bigger cam, but yea i suppose if i have it all out i might as well replace it then. it would be a pita to go and replace it later on down the road

    quick header questions

    ah i see now. i'm going to take a look under the truck. i'm pretty sure i'm getting mixed up between the egr and the first o2 sensor. now that you say that, i'm pretty possitive i've been seing people tune out the second o2 to run catless. it would make complete sense that way.

    engine build questions

    that's pretty much what i was planning, something low key like that. but why the converter? and the timing chain? and i was kinda thinking new vortec heads, just to be on a safe side. although i just found this!: http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/2041085419.html that would be pretty fun...

    quick header questions

    well then why are so many people doing that little nonfouler trick with the o2 and so many people having them tuned out? i see many people tuning them out to run catless...

    quick header questions

    i have shorties right now. i'm not a big fan of them, i want lt's for the better gain. and yea egr is what i'm talking about. and yes the o2 is further back. i know i can have the o2 tuned out, but the egr is what i'm worried about, i wouldn't want to get these headers then turn out that the egr...

    engine build questions

    alright so i think i have what i want to do. buy a used 350 short block. throw on some brand new vortec heads. use a new or the used factory intake. add a cam. and of course have a tune done. now though, i understand the max lift on the vortec heads is only .475" of lift, but whats the...

    engine build questions

    i have thought about a 5.3 instead of a 5.7, but the fact that the 5.7 just about bolts right in is dragging me straight to that option. and as for the fuel limitations i would most likely just swap to a marine intake if i went that far and needed the extra fuel. so what kind of power can...

    engine build questions

    i've been registered to the forum for a while, but i'm now posting in hopes for some serious help. i'm looking to build an engine for my 1996 c1500 ecsb 5.0. as it has the 5.0 that isn't the greatest beginning for a performance build, so i plan to build up a 5.7 to swap in there. i...
