96 C1500 - Blown and Lifted

[Gopedxr]

The same with mine. Is it because its a big truck once its goin 80 90 its topped out? I am hoping my motor is worth saving my friends said with a leak and built motor should not drive real long distances like 6 7 hours. Just hope its something i can fix i can imgine getting a motor re sealed might cost

It will do 120, but just once it going 80, there's a lot of wind resistance and the truck makes most of its power lower in the rpm band. It just doesn't pull like crazy once over 80.

there's a lot of wind resistance

This is the reason I took the lift off mine. Nothing like trying to make a brick fly! Mine continues to pull now.
Like I said on FSC the truck like great!

They are the Summit/Pacesetter ones. I had a local place ceramic coat them inside and out.

Any problems with leaks and what did it cost you to get them coated?

i wonder what this thing could do in a quarter.

No leaks, I have a good gasket on it. I think it was around $200 for the coating. Maybe a little more.

I might take it out to the track one day, my guess would be in the low 13's, but I really don't have any idea.

That looks awesome!! 1st 400 I have seen where the pocket style flares look good.

By the way, where are those gauge pods on the dash from?
