If you cant do both at the same time I would wait till you decide on a cam. If you do just a converter you might have to restall it later depending on what cam you pick.

Havnt found any info on guys running the paxton.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Thats what makes these sites great. Im a mod addict I just cant leave stuff alone lol. I like to spend the money one time and its info like this that makes it possible.

Not to get off topic but is that hood on your truck the cervini? Love that hood. And your right... I need to keep in mind the weight. We are talking a about 1000# difference Im sure.

What vendor do most use for the trucks? I know I have always use rpm transmissions and had great service from them.

Intresting. I wonder if it has something due to the rear shaft configuration compared to how the vettes use them. What seems to be the common failure with the 65 in trucks?

Just curious if any on the board had tried a permonce style air ride set up? I know air ride technologies makes kits geared towards performance and handling rather then just a lowering kit.

Curious to why I see some people wanting to upgrade to a 4l80 from the 65. Im new to these trucks and just bought one to play with. I have been racing and building C5's for years. I never had a problem with the 65 holding over 1000hp when built correctly. My last trans had over 250 9 sec passes in with no failures. Cant wait to get this thing mod'd this spring. Dale

Just bought a 04 sss in blue to play with. Im pretty excited to see what this truck can do. I have a long history with mod'd C5's. My last car put down 855rwhp and ran mid 9's. I have been reading a ton of threads and some info here is the same as the corvette board, as far as general build goes. Intresting enough some is very different. Excited to learn more about this 6.0l compared to the ls1 and ls6. The one thing I have seen so far that I want to explore is the boost levels you guys run. My last car was a forged ls6 (stock displacment) running a mid size blower cam and 213 ported heads, novi2000 pushing 22psi with meth spray. Most guys here I see like the maggie style blowers making much smaller boost levels, intresting. Look for lots of questions in the fi section lol. So let the mods begin... Dale
