im looking to get my wheels powder coated in a couple weeks i just dont know which would look better. matte black or shiny black. its on a white truck, and im really not a fan of chrome.
-
lol i think its just verizon that has the prob. i have the original storm (pile) i might add.
-
I found a V-Max that has the Max 6.0 in the seats on ebay.
id do the whole vortecMAX in mine if i could find a place to do it. would you do it in the back headrest also? or just front?

Your trans will need to be beefed up with a shift kit, servos, accumulator pistons, larger cooler, and stall for the blower. The LQ9 lower half is veeery strong, there are members here that have run mid 11 second quarter miles on the stock lower half, 250 shot of nitrous, superchargers, etc.
Yes and no to both, if you can find a decent used Radix for $3000, that is one route you can go, but if the history of the blower is sketchy, then it would be wise to send it to Magnacharger for an overhaul, which is another $1000. You can get a new intercooled 112 Radix for between $4000-$5000 if you do your homework and shop around. Plan on adding headers to the list as exhaust flow will be critical, you need to get the exhaust moving out and flowing.......figure $500-$1500 depending on what you choose. Transmission, you will need a larger cooler, shift kit, accumulator pistons, and servos at the very least, so add around $250-$300 for that. The next is optional, but is somewhat of a recommendation to get the most from your blower.......a stall. Figure a quality torque converter is gonna run somewhere between $600-$1000. If you also add up all the little miscelaneous items that go into building a truck up in this manner, it is very easy to reach that $8000 mark.....
yes thats what i meant by 8k. is everything along with the maggy. trans upgrades, coolers, shift kit, stall, everything to insure my truck wont break after i install it all. i want it to last.
-
lol $1700 wont buy you the parts to do either. seriously though if you are worried about the truck keeping its daily drivability charactristics, then you will want to go the blower route. Its like stock until you put the pedal on the floor.
damn i was hoping it would. but i guess ill just keep saving and do the right thing thats best for my driving. im still young have plenty of time but i just want everything now. im impatient. its prob bout 8k to get a good radix, to make it reliable. i dont know much when it comes to that.
-
Radix w/3.0 pulley, headers, stall, shift kit
-or-
moderate street cam/rods/springs/injectors, headers, stall, shift kit
i think ill go the second route. its a bit cheaper and its my DD so i dont want to lose my drivability. and MPG. what are the best bang for the buck on parts? i dont want to go much more than $1700.

has anyone seen this before? im not interested in doing it. i just thought it was cool. Do you think its an actual SSS?
garyyah its an SS alright i went to jd fabs place of business and looked at it. its one of the fabricators truck i do believe. i was looking into that kit actually. im more of an offroad kinda guy but kinda leaning toward street.

i have a 06 ccsb LQ9. im looking to get about 400-500 to the wheels. what do you guys recommend? i have a tune, flowmaster 70 series(came with the truck) drop in knn filter getting volant in a couple weeks. thanks
-
for those looking for the tahoe chin spoiler..... http://www.latemodel...item/CTP-17626A
does that fit on a 06 silvy? not SS bumper stock bumper
-
hahahaha you guys all crack my sh*t up. My tundra is supercharged with the 5.7l motor. it runs 12.7. so anyone really wanna step up and watch your chevy shit get killed?
and its funny i just killed a 5.7 tundra today getting on the freeway. scsb like yours. slow!!!! go back to your toyota forum
-
haha yeah... and i have yet to be beat by a silverado ss... My 5.7 RCSB tundra kills chevys all day.
i would hope it would you got a small truck with a big motor. i have a ccsb 4x4 lifted. lil more weight than a scsb.
-
no...for a few reasons
showing off/ wrecking it
jealous kids may damage it
and i think you can guess the last reason
-
my vmax has stock intake w/ knn oe filter. and a tune i can go WOT to 5800rpm till it shifts. going onto the fwy. accelerating slow shifts fine just like yours.
-
Thank you! Right back at 'cha! White is a good color too! Hides the dirt, dents, and scratches well. It's a nice "stress free" color, lol!
yes it hides dirt/ scratches and stuff great. i can go 3-4 weeks without washing it but i try to get it washed every week or so. keep it nice. i say you keep your truck clean and running good it will treat you good.
-
IMO i think the stockers with 55w HID kit has way more output then projectors. ive had projectors on my old truck and swapped them out for stockers.
-
So the newer tundra had more HP, the new dodge has way more HP......Anyone run against these and how does theSS do? The last thing I want to do is be embarrassed by a freaking toylet. If need be, I'll add a super charger but I'm concerned about mpg......any thougths on its effects?
havent raced a toyota, but from hwy speed the new hemis arent so good. my LQ9 with no TM killed it. but from a stop idk
-
I wondered how long it would take someone to ghetto out a new camaro... guess that answers that question.
im all for lowering a camaro. lil performance suspension. but bagging it and tubing it come on now driveabilty is my concern. -
I'm seein' some good lookin' V-Max's on here!
Here she is with the paper plates still on.
very nice truck!
. i wish i had the option to get the greystone metallic color but i got white. -
Bump for a great guy. There is no chance of going wrong buying from a guy like Ray. One of the most respected guys on this site.
ughhh i want it. to bad i have to fix my truck first.
god luck with the sale -
get ready to pay out the @ss for gas. Gas prices are going to be up over $3 all summer even though the price of oil is down. Even though people are not using as much gas as in the past. Funny how supply and demand mean nothing these days. Just the speculation of potential use control the market.
premium is already $3.37 by my house. i work for BP, shell, exxon, connoco. all them and i still dont know why they keep raising the gas prices. nor do i get a gas card

Your axles should be 33 spline. The GM part numer for a 33 spline axle that fits a 9.5" 14 bolt is #26060414, and is about $500 dealer list.
You may be able to get the same axle from Moser Engineering or Alloy USA for half that price......yah im hoping i can. my pops says i should replace just the bent one with a stocker. but i might as well go better stronger ones for same price as stock.
-
i have a 06 4x4 cc vmax. with 14 bolt rear end, 4:10 gears. i was recently in a accident couple months ago and my axle hit a curb. well needless to say the bodyshop didnt replace the axle. its tweaked just a lil. i thought it was the rim that was tweaked but the forged rim is fine. i rotated my tires and it still wobbles on the left rear. who makes some good solid axles for my truck rear end? i dont know what my spline is. thanks
-
Anybody know the number for the bulb??
9145 i do believe. or H10 according to DDM. it fits my 06 chevy with the big fogs

Hello all,
I am curious if anyone else has done a two inch shackle drop with the manual select ride option. I am not sure if this option will interfier with a two inch drop. It is not extreme so I don't think it would be a problem, but I am curious if anyone has any advice to give,
Thank you in advance
i "heard" theres a sensor inside the shock that detects stock ride height. idk if thats true or not but was told voids warranty.
Which Color
in Rims and Rubber

i think i found a winner. i didnt think about semi gloss.
thanks guys
