Lol thanks for sharing, I'm in the process of this as well, from my measurements I don't feel that I'm going to have quite as many issues, I have 6" lift - pro comp?

    I am looking to Turbocharge my 98 Tahoe, How should I prepare my engine, what mods do I need/would be recommended.

    I hear yah " as far as time goes I wouldn't have been able to do it if not in the middle of the pandemic and had no job to go to. Money-wise, after selling my worn-out tbi and transmission. Plus transfer case and a few other parts from the 2004 2500HD I purchased for $2,500, I ended up having...

    Someone talk me out of ditching my TBI setup

    Weird how people have different experiences, I ditched my 350 TBI dropped in a junkyard 6.0 and 4 L 80 e and aftermarket ECU, have twice the power, drive it everyday, read and follow the instructions, no daily tuning no troubles whatsoever. But I love my kick-start only Harley, with a super B...

    The information I have is from, Richard holdener, speed secrets, definitely worth your time to YouTube the Channel. I agree with the fella said STOP put in an LS. ever hurd of 4bolt mains ? LS is 6 bolt on every Journal. He recently took a high mileage junkyard 6.0 30,000 ring Gap, twin turbo...

    Someone talk me out of ditching my TBI setup

    My two cents Never really been a fan of Quadrajet, but with a Holley, if it was a Factory Motor you haven't changed anything, that carb will probably net you about 30 horsepower over the tbi easy to tune and much cheaper, But... if you're going to be progressively adding things for power...

    VSS on SAS

    Hay man" I've got a 93 4×4, I bought it it had a 6in suspension 3 inch body lift and 35 inch tires with 348 gear. It couldn't get put of it's own way, 2200 rpm at 70mph on hwy was good for gas mileage unless you hit an incline and you couldn't keep it up to speed, and it would overheat pulling...

    Replacing Blown Motor, 5.7... suggestions?

    Your absolutely correct that when I said the 2022 Corvette engine I meant the new zo6, I think if you read it again you'll see the relevance, The point is advances in technology and Design, horse and buggy- steam tractor / gas tractor/ carburetor /fuel injection 383/ 6 bolt crank capable of...

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Ok, I thought you were referring to the question about gearing for 35" tires & towing, but...33's go with 410's like 35's & 456 like cowboy boots Daisy Duke, The 9.5 independent front suspension swap... that's a whole nother can na worms

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    I hear ya" but when your truck came with 35 inch tires & 348 gears, As long as it starts & stops lights wipers fuel pump work & the doors stay closed, being able to pull an empty 6 by 10 trailer is at the top of the list

    Towing with 33” tires versus 35” tires

    Amen I have 35" tires I decided to go with 488 gear, cuz I eventually plan to go to 37 inch tires, my truck is at about 2050 rpm at 55mph it runs like a thoroughbred all wound up on Mountain Dew, I should have went with 4.56 because the front differential is not really tough enough to be...

Dont know why some have to be negative Nancy's what's right for one is not right for all, some sound like...

    Replacing Blown Motor, 5.7... suggestions?

    Horsepower equals torque times RPM, ? Interesting concept, THE LS, The 383, ? Let me just say that you change when and where you have your torque Peak and horsepower Peak with a cam, it's not an is what it is because it's one or the other. The best thing to do, is let these two totally...

    Replacing Blown Motor, 5.7... suggestions?
