Default New setup and pics

Well im sure nobody cares but me, anywho the last couple months ive been changing my junk up a bit.
Whats new is
Engine:
-Springs/P-rods & cam= Isky 215/.566" 111+2.5 that im glad i stuck with after changing my mind on it one too many times.
-Efans and 34"radiator, udp, o/d alt pulley
-Tbss intake w/FF injectors and ls3 TB with new cai setup
-tranny cooler(which is too small) with braided lines
Appearance wise:
-New gmc wheels
-Roll pan
-Removed my a/c for some reason..?
-Put on Drilled and slotted brakes late last yr that are already rusting, but overall better looks and braking performance wise, painted calipers also.







crappy idle vid, will try and get better and speedo clip sometime


30ish to 95 speedo clip


next mods up
-actually clean it up really good
-have some caltracs and poly bushings sitting here waiting to go on
-have t/a diff cover and main studs, just need to buy a good posi and put all of it in
-electric cutout
-get some track wheels and tires, then go see what she will do with a stock stall and small cam..

thanks to billy for the spring compressor, and jarrett for the cam hookup..

trucks pulls great for a little ole n/a 5.3 imo.. i think its the good low/midrange of the cam, and top end of the TB and intake, but who knows its prob slow and im crazy..

no i didnt, they are brakemotive rotors. they are a sponser over on tech with great prices and i thought the world of them untill they started rusting bad around the outer edges and fins. still brakes better than stock tho..

well i didnt ever use it hardly any and looked at it as weight savings/less pulley drag. been pretty mild here so far, only really thought of it once so far driving it around and thats because it was raining=windows up. we will see how much i hate my decision when it gets into the upper 80s lower 90s which it hasnt at all yet surprisingly..
oh yea, and more room for a turbo down the line..

Truck looks awesome. You will miss AC more than the 10 hp it robbed.
