BigO3SS Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I want to get the biggest bang for the buck! I have flowmaster exhaust and a home made ram air right now. I was thinking headers but for the price and the boost in power without any engine mods, I think I wont be happy. What do you guys think about running a mild cam, and removing my cats and tailpipes to free up some more flow! What cam would you guys recomend for a stock truck? How about install, I can build old school motors in my sleep but I have never been inside a new gen motor like the truck, is this something I could do myself?

BigO3SS Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Wody...hows your truck run with your mods, was there a pretty good differance. I was thinking about exhaust ideas. I am pretty good with exhaust, so I was thinking of cutting a section out and welding in a X pipe for some extra lowend, mabey remove the flowmaster and weld up 2 bullet mufflers and turndowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 yeah there is a difference. my buddy drives my truck (who has a 05 ss as well) and he can tell a big diff between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke03 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 cam install still looks kinda complicated BUT nice how-2 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausche Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I wouldn't imagine a cam swap would be too difficult on our trucks... The head / bumper lights come right off, bumper comes off readily, radiator would be an easy removal... I don't know what you'd do with the condenser, but once that's out of the way and the rest of the serpentine assembly is disassembled, the swap itself should be cake. I could see it taking less than a day, even for a beginner... Just make sure you've got somebody with experience on hand to help you out...

wody Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 if you're not certified, then i would suggest taking it to a a/c shop and having the a/c system evacuated before you start the tare down. sometimes just moving the condensor out of the way will crack old lines and you won't notice a leak until you turn the a/c on and then BOOM, it will blow.
