  1. sorry no dice on the mirrors, they are about to go back on.. up top for the wheels
  2. <<< central indiana, might be willing to drive a little ways to meet someone just depends.. I dont have a for sure date set yet, but im planning on driving thru st louis sometime this month hopefully for other buisness, just a heads up..
  3. thanks, they arent light i will say that.. but they are a very good looking wheel and one you wont see around alot like you will with the reps..
  4. if you really want to sell it that bad, lower your reserve....
  5. does it have to be black? my truck is in nicer shape than that one, and im considering going up to MN to look at another truck and maybe trade mine in but would rather sell it of course.. or you can just trade me your 9secty if you really have one...lol
  6. thanks, truck is priced low because im ready to sell, not because its a pos thats for sure..
  7. more pics attached, and i will get new exterior pics tommorow hopefully when the other wheels go on.. stock hood is on now aswell with the stock mirrors btw..
  8. i prefer the calvu mirrors, but yes i know most people like the stock ones so they're back on..
  9. thanks guys.. Stock mirrors are back on, putting the stock hood back on with some tahoe ltz wheels on my newer toyo tires. come and get it for $11,800 that way.. really is a nice truck and quick for whats done to it and for the price im asking..! would really like to sell, just a tuff time of the yr to do so..
  10. Some of you guys are making it sound impossible... difficult yes, impossible no...
  11. Hey we arent all that way...lol Its pretty obvious that they have some issues by the added accents.. Its kinda close to me, i thought about offering them 10k and one good hit in the head with a 2x4, they would come out ahead on the deal as long the head blow fixes whats wrong with them..
  12. I never said stock l92s, trick flows are some good heads and better than stock 92s depending on which ones. But gotta pay to play and go fast, some nice l92s arent cheap.. LOL, you have no idea.. Okay back on topic no more chit chatting about people and their "fast" trucks. WHO WANTS TO BE THE FIRST TO BUY THESE AND SEE HOW WELL THEY FIT on a awd sss? Im curious and broke or i would, if i had to guess it would take quite a bit of beating on one of the down tubes to the extent it might not even be worth with the cheap stuff. But then again guy over on pt net said they fit just like the reg 3/4" pacesetters did, but that was a 2wd of course..
  13. If you run it that high with that big of a converter, you should invest in some of those l92 heads you love so much and some bigger headers and id be willing to bet you would have 11's in the bag easy... but what do i know right...
  14. id love to take a ride in your truck, dont think i wouldnt...lol and my lag comment comes from the way you describe the way it drives from your mexico racing and boost comes in in "seconds"... But its the internet and each person is different in their descriptions so we will just leave it at that, were getting off topic anyway..lol If i had a awd dyno somewhere close and some cash and confidence these headers fit awd good i would really consider taking you up on that offer, because i hate my hump headers i have now. But since i cant i looked around and found this.. http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/981229-stock-motor-1-3-4-vs-1-7-8-engine-dyno-results.html to sum it up, 2008 TSP dyno test -stock ls1 on engine dyno, 3k-6k test 1-3/4 vs 1-7/8 headers -lost nothing down low same until +4800, then 1-7/8 gained above that Ive also read elsewhere that ARH has never seen any loss in TQ with 7/8s over 3/4 in their testing, only more HP up top, and minimal change in header size can affect the peak tq curve by as little as 500rpms if that.. Im not dogging 3/4" headers, they do the job fine, but if i was going to buy new headers(and knew i was gonna do more mods in the future) i would go with the 1-7/8" knowing i wont lose any TQ and get a free 10+HP above 5K over 1-3/4s.. So how can you say "put these on a stockish truck and bet it would lose HP"?? Are you saying completely stock manifold truck, or lose over a 1-3/4" truck? Your right, nothing wrong with going with big cam heads converter and let it rip, but he was trying to go as fast as he possibly could race truck style it sounds like..lol But i dont care what anybody says you start going that big with stuff it makes it a horrible DD.. Guys put 4k converters with 23x cams and wonder why it doesnt drive good or its not as fast unless you give it alot of go pedal, quick under the curve power is what makes for a fun DD.
  15. you know what i completely agree with you 100%, imo i see people too often put huge converters and cams in heavy trucks, when they need to focus more on what moves these things, TQ not peak HP numbers. Basically what i think me and people disagree with is just how much these headers would hurt down low is what it comes to, i dont think they would that much compared to the gains, other people seem to think the low end would disapear over very minimal size increase..
  16. yes i know all about back pressure and what you can read on the internet, i just believe its a myth to a certain degree.. Would you lose power down low with 7/8th's, maybe a little, but they will make more power. Just like with the bigger turbo you picked, you have lag, why? because you just moved the efficency range up higher, but you will make more power with a bigger wheel.. either way, everybody has their opinions, i can already tell im just gonna get overrunned by people saying this is whats said on the internet, so thats the way its gotta be.. Just trying to get people to not be so close minded.. I'll leave this thread alone now..lol
  17. I never said bigger was better, he just said put these on and you will lose power, which i disagree with is all. Yes velocity might be reduced somewhat, but will you make more power than the 1 3/4"? You might move the efficency range around a little, but yes they will make more power, as much as pacesetter is claiming, i doubt it.. Do 1 3/4" and 3" collectors work fine with what most people do to their trucks, sure do. And you said it yourself "On these motors non forced induced the motor can only let out what is entered", an engine is just a big air pump, air in, air out... And we dont have cobra jets, LS engines are pretty efficent, but which side needs help majority of the time on ls stuff, the intake or exhaust..?
  18. Really?? So why didnt you put a 76mm turbo on your stock ish longblock truck? Im guessing because you plan on moving some serious air out of your setup, so how can you say moving more air out of an engine will lose power?
  19. Try some different wheels like you said first. I thought i had a bad bearing, but found out it was just my extremly loud nitto 420s after i switched to different tires.. wide tires with crazy tread patterns make some noise..
