Some people are Un-****in-Believable, pardon my language, but that's what I think.... Just un-F'in-real. Probably some punk kids who think it's cute, of course if you tell the parents, then they're upstanding kids, straight 'A's and shit. Insurance is a racket, pay us a $1000 +/- a year and if anything happens to you're vehicle, it's covered... oh no wait, that isn't covered... assholes.... Good luck with getting this fixed bro, you have my sympathy.

Were you able ship it to them or did you have to go there in person?

I mean if someone says they put a used cluster in their truck and it works no problem, then I will rebuild the 2500 cluster and drop it in. Just need some bravado to do it.

Ok, I have a 2500 guage cluster that matches my 06 cluster, except it has the trans temp on it, I really want to put the trans temp cluster in my truck. My questions is, can a used cluster be reprogramed? the local dealer says no, they also said that a used radio couldn't be as well and I proved them wrong. I'm really hoping I can!!

It is bout 80K for the maggies, Lady I talked to a MangaCharger a few weeks ago told me 80-90k miles.

A lot of factors to consider, I went with a Magnacharger. I have a buddy with a Gibbs Silverado and after driving his I fell in love with that blower. mine took about 3 hours to install, granted my truck is a flex fuel, and I didn't need to upgrade the fuel pump in the tank. First, think of the look you want, like 907BlownSS said the prochargers are a bit of a pain, I recently put one on a Trans-Am for a friend, a bit different then the truck but still a bit of a pain to do. For my 2 cents, go with the magnacharger, it's called the most complete supercharger kit for a reason.

nevermind, I hooked it up to a line on the back of the intake, theres a brass fitting and a tube with a rubber cap off on it, I ran it to the capped off tube.

Hate to bring a topic back up, I'm about to put one on, a Autometer Ultra Lite II Boost/Vac gauge that's mechanical, where did you hook it up at on the manifold?? I mean, where's the best place to tie it into for a good accurate reading??

I've heard 580 bhp, The ZL1 Camaro is Chevy's anwser to the Shelby GT500, however the 2013 Model GT500 is suppose to be pushing 650 bhp. SLP had the rights to the name ZL1 which was the RPO code for the old 69 Camaro ZL1's that were the first Chevy V-8 to have a all aluminum block. Chevy then green lighted the ZL1 for the 5th Generation Camaro, so SLP now calls their's ZL Camaros. Hennessy Performance has some up with HPE 475, 550, 600, 650, 700, 800, 1000 horsepower upgrades. I think the most powerful factory built Camaro is right around the corner, and it's only goona get better.

Good lookin' Truck dude

I prefer 5 spokes, but those do look nice, it'd go good on a black truck

Very True

Alright so if you've read my post before about my run in with this guy and a Roush Shitstang, you'd know what happened, well, the dude came back, blew a grand on this POS to get it tuned, new exhaust, K&N intake, Prestone Octane booster, whatever right? Anyway, the only thing I did was get my billet servos installed, booster valve, and TransGO shift kit. Good Times. So he drives up and says to me "REMATCH!" again I told him "Word, but do you really wanna lose AGAIN?" So he has decided to do a rolling start, 25mph. I said "Ok" we start out, first one to past the 7-11 wins. We start off, oh yeah BTW, I put the truck in 4 high. Were have way down the road when I look in the rear view and see his car, when I look foward again, I past the 7-11. Needless to say my beer was awesome, and he wanted to so to Lone Star Steak house.

It was awesome, Dos Equis is my fav, and it was great!! and Outback was killer that night too.

Ok, so anyone whos seen my truck, I'm going with a Joe Gibbs look on the Silvy, well here's how it went down... I was over at my friends house working on his Z71, when one of his work buddies came over with his father-in-law. The guy stared at my truck and then said "Shouldn't you be driving a Tundra? Seeing as your a Gibbs fan in all??" I told him 'Well Gibbs never made Performance Tundras, even then I'm a Chevy fan sooo, no." He then ranted about why Roush Racing was better than Gibbs and that Carl Edwards was cheated blah blah blah.... Finally I told him "Put your money where your mouth is dude, do you wanna race that POS or talk our ears off!" He said "FINE, your truck against my car!! Loser buys two cases of beer and dinnerfor everyone of the winners choice" of course I responded as intelligently as humanly possible... "Word, dick" We lined up on the service road a block away, mostly abandoned, some city trucks there and what not. My buddies wife has always wanted to flag a race and she got her chance, we took off, he pulled at first due to my wheel spin in first and second, soon as I caught the tail end on second gear, the truck shit and got, pinned me back like a mother, I passed him half way down the road and kept 2-3 cars on him. When it was over he came back and said "How?? My cars got a supercharger on it... How did I lose??" I told him, "Well honestly had you not jumped on the gun hoe Ford bandwagon right off the bat, you may have seen what you were getting into! He shook his head and drove to get the beer with his Son-in-law, who BTW is cool as shit, told him what I had under the hood and he was like WTF!?! Needless to say a stang kill of anykind is nice to me, in retrospect... didn't know those cars were rated at 360 horse appearently... seems kinda low IMO...

What SS's didn't come with 4.3's?? lol

Hard to say which way would be the best for ya... The best thing I feel is to tear one apart and refresh it. then drop it in your NNBS, I'd go with the build, the 408. That way you know what you got going on, any salvage motor may have problems and your just gotta inherit those problems. Side note, don't know what motor you got in your Goat, but if its a 400 or 455 keep it, a original GTO is a lot more beautiful at a car show and driving than a butchered one. That's my opinion thou...

Never mind, lol I see what a X-Link is now that I read the website... I feel dumb:yellow_loser: Thanks again guys, I think I know what I'm gonna do

Gotcha, I looked on Scoggin' Dickey's website and saw a Nick Williams "Drive-by-Wire" LSX Throttle body, would that work on our trucks, or is ours not a 6-pin wiring harness? My luck they aren't... lol http://sdparts.com/details/nick-williams/sd102mmel
