silverado777 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Lots of nice cars in those pictures up top. Is that a GTR? Are you going to be looking into SS cladding and a bumper for your truck? Ya thats one of 3 GTRs there. I'm thinking about either the SS or the joe gibbs bumper for the front. I won't be doing the cladding since I already spent a lot of money on my welded and smoothed roll pan. Plus I'm kind of a believer that it will never be an SS since it didn't come from the factory that way. I just need to take care of the front end, take my smooth door handles down to get painted, shave the tail gate and do the Z06 brake conversion and I'll be done...ish.

I'm later on I'll get a wild hair up my you know what and get a TVS2300 and shoot for the 800 to 1000 hp range lol. Hell for the money I have put into this thing I could have bought an SS lol.

Haha yeah. Its a great looking truck and when you color match the bumper and handles, it'll look good... Just remember, hindsight is 20/20. Haha. As much $ as i put into my 370 radix, i wish i would have just went with a NA 427 and ran it for awhile until i could afford a tvs2300. But oh well. A tvs for my 370 will be a next summer thing, once Krambo convinces me to do it. Haha. Keep up the great work and keep us posted with videos etc. Hopefully mine will idle right this weekend.... ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Here's the first start up....It sounds like crap but that's why it went down to Zippy for an accurate tune immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) My first start up had LOTS of valvetrain clacking and ofcourse the backfiring/misfiring thing... Haha. You didn't have a base tune when you first turned the key? I'm sure you a Zip will get it figured out. It's gonna purr like a kitten.

silverado777 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ya it did have a base tune but still sounded off so just be safe I didn't even let it get up to operating temp. I'd rather it be hooked up to monitor everything just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverado777 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Zippy said he should be throwing my truck on the dyno for a tune after lunch today. I sure hope he gets it finished today and everything goes smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
