What's up guys, I've been on the PT page on FB for a few months, finally got around to registering on here.
Picked up a 1 owner 102k mile ls 99 RCSB 4.8 2wd
Has already come a long way in a few short months
Was already lowered on a 3/4 drop to my knowledge, had to replace shocks, originals were blown out
Just recently swapped the escalade wheels for a set of 18x8 titans bc tires were in almost perfect condition
Had a 3" single Flowmaster catback, chopped it off and welded an oval borla xr1 under it dumped before axle.
Replaced intake pipe with k&n diy pipe from summitt and S&b panel replacement filter
Did vette servo
Rear shock extensions
Most recent project was dual e fans, 34" radiator, water pump, thermostat, and 4ga big 3 upgrade with a 10% OD alternator pulley.
Had truck tuned by a buddy with HPTUNERS and harness for fans from ls1fans.com
Have a potz performance ported tb on the way, took advantage of $40 xmas sale they had.
Knocked Nissan emblems out of center caps and filled and sprayed em and put black outline 2" bowties in them. They're almost 10lbs lighter each so it helped get her moving a little.

Future plans are HT1 cam, PTC 4k stall, 4.11 Tru trac and long tubes until I can turbo it in a couple years.

Look forward to chatting with yall and picking your brains!

HT1... great little cam... i love it and the comp 212/218.. but then again i like small cams in big trucks. But being you have a 4k converter you might wanna step that HT1 up to something a tad bigger to match the converter. The HT1 was designed for torque and lower to mid range power... your converter is gonna flash damn near past the meat of the cam lol!! If you had a 3k or smaller stall the HT1 would be great. Just my opinion

Planning to go smaller on stall now, 3-3500 and run ht1 cam. Talked it over with my buddy who has 10+ years experience with these engines and trucks.
