    Anyone customized there skid plate?

    The skid plate will look AWESOME when jumping the truck and getting some air. I will say that I never gave it much thought other than it makes it harder to work on anything underneath. But since you have the time why not do some Upgrades.

    Exhuast pipe routing and headers

    Very good useful information with Links added. I was doing almost the same thing with the O2 censor on my header equipped MCSS back in the mid to later 80s, although computers were much different back then. Thanks kennythewelder!

    98 Chevrolet Throttle Body Plate

    Thanks for the replies. What I was looking at was WOT, that the "lip" is reducing airflow. Now if removing the lip causes a lean condition or was an air deflector at WOT, so that the front four runners in the intake are seeing the same air as the rear four because of the offset of the throttle...

    98 Chevrolet Throttle Body Plate

    Hello, what is the purpose of the air deflector on the front of the throttle bore plate? Anyone know if it can be removed for better, or worse airflow?

    EGR

    I am going to block off Exhaust manifold port for now until my headers show up, and block off intake manifold hole, leave EGR in place with it plugged in and see what happens. I still have the good exhaust to intake tube in case off off idle pinging. What the heck didn't cost anything so why...

    Starting my Tahoe engine swap.

    Sounds like Fun and my main thought is how long will the B82 converter last and that you may be giving up all the low end grunt if you can get the tires to plant? Just thinking, do you ever tow any trailers?
