black00chev Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Stuff looks awesome! Where did you get the LTs from? Also, how much did the rad and efans cost if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSportSilverado Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) I got the long tubes from Texas Speed and performance. I got the radiator from my buddy who works at the dealership for $100, hes the parts manager so he gets parts really cheap. I also got my turn signal mirrors and 06 tail lights from him also.

GMCtrk Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Alright here are some pic's and a lil video of the progress........... Video Are those standard MSD wires? They look so long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSportSilverado Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Yeah I ordered the longer ones by accident. I ordered them from Texas Speed & Performance and I didnt notice it right away but I had clicked the first one on the list which are the longer ones. I really dont know why they would sell a long and a short kit but oh well. There only a few more inches longer then my old Callaway wires they replaced and they really dont rub up or touch anything so im not too worried about them. But I thought the same thing when I first saw them. Edited November 12, 2008 by SSTruck1 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Where did you get the fans from, or those from the HD as well? How much would that stuff have been retail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddieo818 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Nice hows she run now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSportSilverado Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I got the fans from Advance auto parts there about $80 a piece after tax but if I wanted to I could have waited and got the 05 electric fans and they would have bolted right up. My buddy at the dealership didnt have them in stock so I didnt feel like waiting a couple of weeks for them. The fans I got are pretty good quality so far I havnt got even close to over heating with them or have had any problems with them, they work really well for my truck espacially since I have the 160 thermo. Id say all of it combined I paid around $270 including all the wiring and the relay and misc stuff. Actuall price would have been alot more, I think the radiator runs around $300 from the dealer but im sure if you check ebay or a yard around you you cold get it cheaper. The truck runs alot better then it did stock, I ran a regular cab hemi and beat him pretty good about 2 trucks. I juss got my Volant intake in today so now I got well rounded truck for now. Iv been looking at that Harris Speed Works nitrous plate kit for a while and I just might have to order it in the near future when I get used to what I got now.......Damn that power bug!!!

black00chev Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Looks good! Yea once I get my new brakes and pads, exhaust and E-fans will be after that. Just probably gonna do the LS1 fan swap and save a couple bucks so I can throw that towards a bigger trans cooler for when I go to a higher stall converter. You running 93?

SuperSportSilverado Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah im running the 93 street tune from Nelson Performance, but iv always ran 93 in my truck. What kind of stall are you going to get and how high, right now im having some problems with my tranny when i gun it anywhere under 30, it either the first gear bands are slipping or the converter is slipping a lil cant really tell. just revs up kinda high and then kicks in. during normal driving its fine just at wot under 30 is when it acts up.

misterp Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 ... Iv been looking at that Harris Speed Works nitrous plate kit for a while ... That is a nice kit, HSW makes good stuff. Kick-A job so far :thumbs: Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00chev Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Ill probably go with a 2600-2800 stall... I hear these do pretty good with boost too which is my WAY down the road plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
