TxSkyeSRT8

Hey everybody! I am finished modding my SRT, so now I'm starting on the hoe.
All stock expect for a couple minor things:
weathertech liners all around
LED/Escalade style tails
and a rear dvd and screen (I want a better one though)
and lockpick for nav and dvd up front
roof rail delete
debadged

What does everyone recommend? I have been so into the SRT side of modding that I have no idea about these new generation chevy's.
My fiance drives if mostly, and she doesn't want it to be loud (exhaust).

I'm planning to add limo tint, but that's all. I need some help.
If you had this ride, and had $5000 to spend, what would you do?

Thanks for the help.

I guess I'll just throw some 22" dolars on it and leave the rest stock...

lol, give us a chance to answer
Me? I'd do long tubes, custom exhaust, Borlas, tuning....just as much performance mods as i could, but that's me

From my experience, I would do (in no particular order):
Hotchkis swaybars $580, custom tuning (Nelson and Wheatley are very good) $250, vette servo $16, cam (+springs, pushrods, etc.) $750, pacesetters jethot coated $750, magnaflow muffler $100 on ebay. The leftover $$ you can spend on stereo, lowering, appearance, etc. Just my $.02

I like the swaybar idea, and do want a 2-4 drop or something subtle.
Will the cam kill my gas mileage?

It has the bose system already, but I would like a sub. Where do I find the sub inclosure that fits the very back window? I have heard the third row doesn't work with it. It that true?

Would it make a difference to tune a stock engine, maybe with a CAI?

Thanks again for the help guys.

Yes, you will definitely notice a difference; Wheatley tuned my mom's stock 02 Tahoe and it runs much stronger than it did stock. And my MPG went from 12 city/16 hwy to 15/20. And most tuners have a free updates for life policy, so if you continue to modify, they will retune the truck for no charge.

It all depends on the cam, but a mild, daily driveable cam will either keep it the same or lower it slightly, like 1 mpg or so. But this is only AFTER the truck is tuned properly. Putting a cam in a stock truck and not tuning it afterwards is not taking full advantage of the cam.

6L80E conversion for a nice tow rig (take the GC to the track) and a aluminum car hauler.

Edit BTW what does that sticker say to the right of the hitch? Is that the rating? If so just wondering what that rating is.

TxSkyeSRT8

I think it's rated for 10000lbs, but I'm not sure. I can't check it since I'm in Connecticut and the Tahoe is home in Texas.

I don't think my Jeep will ever get so extreme that I can't drive it to the track.

I'm with ya, I said that about my Monte Carlo till I snapped a CV shaft 100 miles from home. That sucked. Good luck and nice looking trucks.
