  1. Stick to the basic recipie -

     

    CAI - Outlaw - Where did you get it?

    Straight pipe catback (Corsa, Magnaflow, or GMPP)-

    Shift kit & servos- Kinda up in the air on cracking the tranny open @2k miles

    Trailblazer TC - See above :)

    PCM TUNE! - just spoke to Frank about getting me HPtuner software & a email tune (wanna check out tuning software)

     

    If you've got some extra cash beyond that my personal suggestion would be a good set of headers, Are there any of these true bolt on w/ good fit (no hammer to clearence firewall)?

     

    installing headers will require a retune to take maximum advantage. - Thats one of the reasons I want to get the HPtuner software, good idea?

     

    Mr. P.

     

     

    Thanks Mr P , I know you guys can help me get up to speed on this ....No pun intended

  2. One of my friends has a Dodge Daytona p/u has a Hemi with an intake & handheld tune (also plug wires-not that that makes a diff). And we raced from a roll at the "sweet spot" 25MPH it kicked down and I held it to the floor. he jumped on it after me and not only caught up in a couple seconds, but pulled away :shakehead: I really lost ground at the mushy 1-2 shift. Now I want a CAI, Exhaust, Tune, and anything else to help me smoke his @ss.

  3. no no no.. dont turn on LMHosts.. turn OFF LMHosts. tons of viruses write to the lmhosts file and if you get infected, you wont know whats going on. I work as an IT Net Admin (for the past 10 years), and Ive seen that time and time again.

    Windows by default and design always looks at the hosts file, which is totally seperate from the LMHosts file.

    edit the hosts file as that article says, then close your browser and re open it. In IE, click tools\internet options (in IE6) click to clear contents. IE7 has a different button to click under the same area, but you have to click a delete button to get to the final screen.

    LMHosts is WINS netbios traffic, which actually will slow your browsing down a bit.

     

    But turning it on got it working for me?

  4. Damn 25k between? It would take me 3 years between oil changes, and that dont make me feel comfortable about it. My last truck I had 8 years (new 1998) and only put 58k on it, then got my SS. that would mean 2 oil changes? is that right?

  5. Wish some one had HPtuner software near me to see whats going on, but dont think so in Ft lauderdale (S FL). Thought about buying it for my laptop, but never tinkered with tuning before. And I dont know if that would even see a problem.

  6. Does it get better as the milage (odometer) goes up? I got 11.6 in the city and had never driven on the highway. Then I went to Orlando last week, roughly 500 miles round trip. I noticed 13.1 on the highway, highest its ever been. Even with the trip I still only have 2032 miles on the truck.
