Was looking at eventually getting a beefier tranny because blowing a 4l60e/year isnt reasonable. Where would i find a decent transmission? What do you know about salvaging parts from wrecks: http://www.sgi.sk.ca/lcgi/salvage_bid_site/comp_details.cgi?stock_num=R132932&store=Regina

That was what i gathered from what i have read. OBX?

did you have to keep the front oxygen sensors?

I already got true duals with an x pipe. Im looking for a set of long tubes that will take the place of both the headers and cats.

Im in the market for a pair of headers. Any used or good deals arose previously?

those are the stock rims i have

looking at these rims: http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-98-chevy-rally-rims-W0QQAdIdZ470422445. What do you think they would look like on my truck? I am personally a big fan of these rims on the 80's chevs

I am wanting to find the thread i think its in performance trucks dot net but i cant find it and i want to take apart my mirrors to paint them.

because I have no idea.

You need 0-60 time and weight.

Well this is a basic physics 30 type formula that i used when i was bored lol. Gotta remember i still got a basically stock 5.3 and i used a tuner to figure out my 0-60. Also weighed my truck at a grain elevator and said it was 5300lbs or 2.51tonnes which i find a tad off.

0-60 in 7.49s

Lotsa formulas. Used formula to figure acceleration. A formula to figure out change in distance. Then power formula. Work formula and watts to hp conversion.

Using some physics math-a-magic i figured out that my truck uses 163hp to get up to 60mph

I would. Mine isnt perfect though but i can send as many pics as you want as it all lights up.

three gears and OD. i have no problems shifting into OD. All its got is true duals and an airtake and a tune.

I blew the 2-4 split in er last time and was talked into getting a gm tranny so i got crazy warranty on it if i remember correct. Would there be any way to prevent this from happening in the future. shift kit? etc? besides the obvious being built with better than gm parts.

i hope not

I have a 5.3l without a 4l60e. Recently when im driving it will shift to second and depending on how hard you are on the throttle it will rev several thousand rpm, least being 3,100 @ 15% throttle most being well not shifting at all until you let off. Now what?

I want a set of rims with a five or six spoke pattern kind of like the dodges with a six bolt pattern. Any reccomendations?

prob just wait until i have boost.

Okay so I have been searching all over the web in the past hour looking at different types of methanol injection kits and advantages and disadvantages. Correct me if I am wrong in any of this. So anyway from what I understand of this stuff is that this was first used by an engineer in world war II by a guy looking to get more horsepower out of air crafts for higher altitude etc. This system injects small streams of water and methanol. Since then it was adapted and now its in our everyday vehicles. From my research i found a few different companies: Snow Performance: http://www.snowperformance.net Alky Control: http://www.alkycontrol.com/ Labonte Motorsports http://www.labontemotorsports.com/ Anyways, this cools down the engine temps, better fuel economy and of course better power gains. According to this video, every 30 gallons of diesel fuel you will go through 5 gallons of mix. Source: Of course I do not plan to use this on a diesel but I am always looking for power so am seriously considering this an option. From the stuff I have also seen you have a tank feeds a pump, pump feeds injectors, module controls the whole system and lights go into the cab and control unit.
