Thank you. That's a built system, not bought. It took 13 months to build it. Since I work through the week the only time I had was in the evenings and weekends to work on it. When I take it to shows though I can be proud to let people know it was built by me. Slowed my truck down quite a bit though.
Yeah that looks like a lot of added weight, did you use mdf or birch?

I use a phoenix transmission 3000 TQC.http://www.phoenixtrans.com/torque-converters/ Performs awesome and zero complaints so far and stalls around 3100-3200 with the cam and supercharger setup I have... For just a cam setup up and other bolt ons, some marine injectors or 8.1L 42lbers would be more than enough and bolt right in. Or you can go with siemen deka and use 1/4" spacers on your fuel rails. I went that route and used 60lb siemen deka and made my own spacers. And springs just used the recommended beehive ones that comp has and their pushrods. You wont be disappointed. I have had that same cam setup for 8+ years and by no means do I baby her when I drive. I may not put on many miles but those miles are fun.
Thank you for your help. I will look into to that and as soon as i finish up my vinyl wrap job on my ss i will post of pics of that.

I run this cam and it is an awesome daily driver cam with a nice mean lope and great for naturally aspirated and works well if you decide to go forced induction. I have had nothing but compliments and it performs very well... http://www.sho-mespeed.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid=6566&name=comp-cams-ls1-ls6-ls2-xr275hr-222-224-lift-566-568-lsa-112&gclid=CKP9iYOS1MwCFYY2gQodnhQM7g
The only thing Id recommend is some different valve springs as the stock ones are bit weak for a bigger cam. Id also get some hardened pushrods while you are in there.
Yeah that is the one i have been looking at. Im pretty sure thats the one i am going to go with. I was more so looking for which companies i should use for the torque converter, springs and injectors.

Okay thank you.

Hello guys back again,
I have been debating on this for a long time now, but i think i am finally to the point where i have everything else ready. I currently have an 06 Silverado SS. What i have done to the truck so far is Volant CAI w/scoop, Pacesetter Long tube headers, hollowed cats, Corsa Touring Exhaust and a BBP tune. My next step is going to be the cam, the one i have my heart set on right now would be the Comp Heads xr275hr. My question would be what lifters, injections and torque converters would you guys suggest?
My main goal for the truck is to keep it as a daily/Sunday driver, with maybe 500hp. So any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Its a pretty easy fix, i had to do mine a year or two ago.

Well i did find out the sensor in my pedal was faulting. It wasnt bad where it would throw a check engine code, but once i used my scanner it finally should up thru a system testing. I also then found a small intake leak. i did just purchase a Black Bear tune, should be in tomorrow but i was not sure if they can do a o2 delete with the tune.

Hey guys, I am new to this page and i may in the wrong thread. But i was wondering if anyone has had any issues with their cats, i have had to replace my twice now and going on a third time. My truck has under 120,000 on it and its an 06 Silverado SS.
This second set of cats lasted roughly 30k miles. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a brand to use or if anyone has hollowed them out and used a 02 simulator to get around the check engine light.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thank you

It was damaged. I am currently looking for a molding tape that is thick enough to hold the piece on. The tape was nearly 1/2" thick and the normal double side tape does not hold up. So i removed it after i had it fixed and waiting to find a good tape to apply it back on so i do not have to go down the road of trying to find a new cladding.
