    First bagged build, have some questions

    i agree 100% with you. i cant remember how many times i was worried about a situation and it worked out very well once i got to that point. YAMAHA17 you will be fine. you have way more tools than most guys i have seen do their first bag job. one thing i will note is the biggest pain in the...

    Twin Subs, 1999 K1500 and C1500

    dont ever go to the metal unless you have too. just feather out any hard lines and edges and make sure its scuffed and VERY clean before paint. you will see all the dents and dings once you paint it.

    Long tubes? Or short?

    thats what i did. they cut one short and gave it a small turn and it cleared the cross member. it was close on the driver side. when using the patriots they didnt have an o2 bung on passenger side so i had them put one in at the collector adapter because i didnt want them to mess up my...

    Long tubes? Or short?

    if your truck is 2 wheel drive then go with the patriot h8059. i did them and they work PERFECT. no cutting no bending no hammering NO modification at all. passenger side is snug getting in place but just shove it in and done. i will post pictures when im at home as i dont have the pictures...

    Steering box options

    i will look into that if i need to but luckil makes sense. i have seen it a few times. i was thinking more about the quick ratio vs stock turn ratio. but i totally see the bennefit of removing slop. i could see it helping with 4 wheeling tho

    How bad are clearance problems with a 5/7 drop?

    i am 5/7 in a tahoe and i have no issues. i used stock springs instead of the drop springs. flip kit in rear. had to clearance a cross member for drive shaft ( its a tahoe). i did the bolt in notch but i welded it and it felt better afterwards. im on 245/40/20 and it has no clearance issues

    MPFI spider injector swap/upgrade info and questions thread

    you can do it. if your nervous about all the electrical connections just take pictures and tape each connection and label them with numbers. the biggest mistake i see is people missing a plug and not sealing down the upper intake. its a simple job just a tedious one. give yourself ample time...

    Trash power steering pump?

    I have seen 2 of those pumps no good right out of the box. I cant say that is your problem but I don't use them for that reason. I would stay away from autozone anything. try to use the same stuff that came from the manufacture. you get what you pay for when it comes to 88-98 chevy stuff.

    Trash power steering pump?

    so you replaced pump and pressure line? you used the evo bypass pipe. truck feels fine when driving but at parking speed it feels like the steering gets really hard right? did you use an autozone brand pump?

    Vortec motor

    crate motor is awesome choice. just get torque wrench and check it over. mistakes happen and you can catch it if you check it. im rebuilding my motor at machine shop and its not cheaper than the crate motor. its a 2 month wait here for the machine shop. could get a crate alot faster

    you are correct. it just kills me when i see people put an awesome motor in the truck and put the cpi back on because they dont wanna get into all the wiring or computer related stuff.

    if you wanna make 400 i would carb swap and trans swap or get a stand alone controller for trans. the cpi just doesent make good number no matter what you do to it. instead of carb swapping you could always do an efi setup and still make more power than cpi. my truck club is only 88-98 chevys...
