  1. yeah it wasnt that bad to do...right now my TBSS engine cover is at the paint shop so i will have some pics pretty soon hopefully
  2. barely hit over 90%....i adjust the PE tables before the run also...AFR was fine also....we only pulled it to 5400rpm
  3. our dyno day this past weekend we had a little fun with some spray...before anyone says it was dumb blagh blagh blagh...i pulled 6° of timing and was standing back a decent amount....truck made 322 before and 413 after http://www.lsxvideo.com/view_video.php?vie...9b3695e0cb6cde7
  4. thats exactly why i love mine...seats 5 people and pulls a trailer to the track
  5. way ahead of you...since that i have done heads....tbss intake...and got rid of the stock exhaust...which is why the mph has picked up 2mph...also it is a 22mph diff in there...i am only on nitrous i cant compete with the boosted guys on the back end, but they cant compete with my 1.60 60'
  6. we had the same problem on a friends 05 4 x 4...took it to the muffler shop and just had them keep heating and bending till there was enough clearance
  7. here's a few...will have some more in a bit....still working on the burnout video though
  8. i have no way to make my vids a .wmv all i have is a digital video camera and a way to upload the videos
  9. Danny is a tranny nice pics must be nice to have help putting in a 2wd trans lol
  10. bump this back up....getting closer guys...get the trucks tuned and ready
  11. i actually just put one on my truck last week...its loud but i really like it alot...of course i say loud when i have had the stock muffler on it for the past year...i wanted something to keep the back pressure there but also be free flowing and this was the best muffler i could think of...im trying to get some video of it
  12. i also still am a stock block...i know you will have me though....if i were you i would just run the shot on a button and let off it for the shifts...window switches cause problems....keep it simple and you will go faster i am just hitting the 1/8th mile this weekend...theres only one 1/4 track around here and its not open...good luckto you also buddy let us know your times
  13. it's not the nitrous thats stupid...its the user of the nitrous that is stupid Also Chase i think your drivetrain will handle it...i grab all 200 almost right out of the hole and thats a whole lotta torque...im hitting the track again this weekend....lets see who can get the better times
  14. very true...people need to read up before they spray...i lol'd when he took off running the other way...i would have been putting the fire out...or better yet stopping the guy from putting the fire out
  15. i use the 125 shot to help get the water off my tires...but then again i stall it to 2500 then do the burnout...i would rather drive around the water box but at some of the tracks you cant do that
  16. im hitting the track this weekend with the video camera and gonna get you some pics also during the day
  17. no problems at all, the intake angles the throttle body upwards so clearance wasnt an issue at all
  18. i used to have mine mounted behind my drivers side when i had my single cab..fit great and was easy to reach back and open it up
  19. leave the throttle body off the mod list and but a nice kit for the truck when you spray and welcome to the site
  20. Thanks guys...i know it made a difference but how much is up in the air cause of my other mods i did to it at the same time...it definately looks better IMO.. anytime Steve you know im more then happy to show what it has
  21. Okay i finally did the TBSS intake swap on my truck and here is a how to if you would like to do this swap on yours also. The gains are supposed to be 15-20rwhp without losing the low end torque like when you go to an LS6...i also did a set of P & P 317 heads with the swap so i cant say what the gains are for sure...but anyways here you go and hope this is helpful to you. here is a stock truck intake and the TBSS intake side by side...the first mod you need to make is to the fuel rail crossover...notice the bend on the passenger side of the intake prevents the fuel rails from sitting all the way down well the way to solve this was to take the crossover off...really simple to do just unscrew the star head that holds it in the rail and it pops right out. I then took it to my buddy Taylor over at Dallas Performance and he suggested we weld a -6an fitting on it and put a steel braided line insted of the metal crossover and in doing this it would allow better flow to the other rail as well. So within a matter of 30 minutes he had it cut and welded for me and i was on my way So now the rails were able to sit all the way down. For the new crossover line i just went to Performance Auto Supply and grabbed a 14" -6an line and it fit great nice and tight. So the next problem was the space between the fuel rail tabs and where they bolt up to on the intake...there is about 3/4" of difference and they dont line up directly. So to fix the i just drilled the plastic tabs for the new holes and used some spacers along with a couple of washers and also had to get longer screws...believe they were 40mm, just picked them up at O'Reilys Auto Parts The next thing i had to decide is to run the 90mm throttle body or get the adapter plate and keep the 78mm stock one. Well i couldnt justify another $300 for a new 2 stage plate and the $215 wiring harness from Rush Perfomance because the 90mm has a different 6 pin plug and the 78mm has a 8 pin plug. So i choose the 78mm with the adapter plate, it bolts up rather easy to the TBSS manifold. In the pic you can see how it bolts up...throttle body...nitrous plate..then adapter plate...pay no attention to the wiring i didnt have a chance to loom it up yet The main problem i came across was the EVAP purge solenoid, the TBSS one sits inline and not in the intake like the trucks do, this is solved either by getting one from the TBSS or off an LS1 camaro, the plugs doesnt change. I choose to just cap it off and remove the code off the tune, some may not have that convienance or want to do that. If you have a fuel pressure regulator like on the 99-03 trucks all you need to do it get you some 1/4" vaccum line and there is a capped vaccum port on the passanger side of the intake, you break the nipple off with a pair of pliers and that problem is solved. All in all this looked harder then it turned out to be and this swap can be done in a matter of and hour or 2, i found it best to find someone that has a crossover laying around and have it modded before you start the swap. Any questions please ask. Thanks Virgil
