I know I know but I have way too much $ in my 434 to go that route until it breaks and its already set up for boost and can handle 1200HP internally.

I just need to get the boost to it.

I have a 434 too, and I hear you on money invested. Drop an F1X on it and enjoy!

I mean my truck is literally sitting in the shop with three 1200 plus hp cars.. it's not that hard with a forged ls with a big ass turbo.

I also did a thing.

If only it was as simple as a forged ls and a big ass turbo.

Thats a boogity cam

I don't doubt your car's performance. I'm just saying that 5300lbs is over the top on weight for, essentially, a 2 door coupe sports car.

It weighs 4250 lbs Where did someone think Gross is what a car weighs, It's what it'x max weight is.

OK... I thought GVW was the weight of the vehicle. But GVW is the weight of the vehicle, plus, additional weight from passengers, luggage, etc.

the term you want is "CURB"

curb weight, got it.

It’s stil a fat pig.

agreed. But, l still liked it better than the Lexus F sports.

yes, it weigh in 350lbs heavier than my Benz 4 door

I was more responding to cooper wondering how your car got past 1k hp.. being on mobile made it hard to quote who I was responding too. Though as I predicted, you had some negative shit to say, like always.

My truck is sitting in the shop with two twin turbo cars, an LSX block car, and an aluminum 6.0 stock cubes/block car, both over 1500whp (thats as high as the dyno goes), and a procharged 1200 HP camaro that took 1st place in competition stock class at world of wheels in KC two weeks ago. Both the twin turbo cars have been 8s, and the procharged car 9s. All 3 are street cars, and yes, they are big turbo cars with forged motors and all the trimmings, including meth and the like. If I wanted too, I could have my TA pushing that kind of power with the snap of my fingers.

All I was getting at is that anyone with some cash can put an LS above 1000 and its not very hard, all it takes is boost, and of course, the shit that makes boost work. Its an oversimplification, but big boy boosted LS = 1000+hp and its easy enough that there are thousands and thousands of them running around. Most of them built in some jack offs garage.

Thanks.. I think?:D

I gave up on GM's long ago, been as Mopar fan since the 70's and before.

I build or used to build Datsun Z motors, hardly ever jacked with building much GM stock. I did build 4 Ford 300's 6's that would reach out and bite you. All my buddy's did was small blocks, I built light cars with bad ass engines that would beat them at anything but the 1/4, and I could smoke the cops in their interceptors.

SO I can't talk shop with crate motors an bolt on blowers but I do own a 3.2l that puts 450HP to the ground.

Got this truck out today with just a basic tune and holy **** this sucker is dangerous LOL

Heads/cam/Long tubes will do wonders with a 5.3, combined with damp weather, skinny all season tires, and the g80 locker, makes for a squirrely AF truck.

Already thinking ill need to go detroit locker sooner rather than later, and really need to find some 20s and run a taller, sticky tire for summer.

I posted this on FB the other day. Thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

ROFL epic

Perfect!!!

I would bang that car.

Hope you don't mind sloppy seconds.

I was being negative?

Made 320hp/366tq on the Mustang dyno. my TA made 400/586 on the same dyno but through a 4l80e and a 9 inch, this truck is a 4l60e and an 8.5" 10 bolt, so much less parastic power loss on the truck.

Not bad numbers on this super stingy dyno for a lil ol cam only 5.3~

Great vid, it’s called gods motor for a reason.

Needs a baby Whipple.

Got the truck cleaned clayed buffed polished today..

found out the pinstripe is UNDER the clearcoat ughhhhhhh

looks good where are the burnouts? The pinstriping is still there.

since 5 am yesterday I have done heads on a 3.0 ranger, 4 ball joints on a crown vic, 4 ball joints on an f250 sd, timing kit and water pump on a pt cruiser, rear main seal and timing kit on a cobalt.

And helped my buddy get his motor 90 percent r and r'd in his tahoe.

Ive been busting ass , good paying weekend though lol

Me too. Except the pay part.

I’ve been trying to get poorly maintained irrigation engines to run.

And now im driving to kc to get an engine job

Pinstripe is still there because we found it its been cleared over.

No burnouts yet, these tires are about 400 bucks a pop lol

I have the entire front end off and in my makeshift paint booth in the garage right now. I'm color matching grill and bumpers over the next couple days

:clap:

with your taste in wheels you need the extra cash~

Wife wants the 69 and the 86 both driving this summer. We will see

Best to buy new plastic and paint it vs using old stuff... Believe me, been there, done that....tee shirt.

And find some Dupont super performance pack (2 part hardener) or equivalent.

Repainting that the second time is a bitch, real bitch. If you could get it electrostatic... probably not...

Are you and MIA dragon still having a spat?

Truck looks great man. You’re doing great work.

I had to dig back into this today. The funky little clip that holds the pivot arm onto the barrel lock had fallen off. It has to be one of the dumbest clips I've ever seen. I'm hoping it's the last time I have to dig back into it.

Comebacks are a bitch...

the middle part of bumper is chromed, I purchased a ready to paint black one.

The top and bottom parts of the bumper are textured plastic, I scuffed around on those and took the little scratches out and painted them.

The front grille is also plastic/chrome, and my ready to paint replacement will be here tomorrow.

It doesn't have to be spectacular, its a bumper, i'm painting black plastic with Bullydog adhesive promoter, SEM flex primer, and then Duplicolor black and clear from a can.

Only about 75% of the metal bumper can be seen once the plastic is on, and that's the part i concentrated hardest on lol. The textured bumpers hide any imperfections from the paint, and both the metal bumper and the grille are going to be cleared, sanded, then cleared again before a final wet sanding/polish.

They make 2k in a can, no flex additive that I know of but it can be custom blended. Worth looking into.

Spraymax, Endura, I know there are places that custom mix so they should be able to add flex additive.

http://www.apstowerpaint.com/index.php

yes. I know.

Looked at the metal bumper this morning and it looks good as is, will look really good after wet sand and polish.

I’d wrap the bumper in vinyl before you go through all that.

There are some super tough vinyl materials out there... You could Plasti Dip the bumpers too.

Sauto, how do you feel about replacing shocks on a 01 Chevy half ton pickup one evening this week?

i'll figure out what day i'm available when my boss gets back and let you know. wont take any time to pull that off.

My old Cummins beater is wrapped, IMO for the cost it’s the way to go.

Maybe Wednesday. Will let you know for sure tomorrow

I really like the plastidip spray with clear coat, I't come a long way.

I actually have gloss black vinyl in the garage left over from wrapping my Focus a while back I could have used, but I know from using it that it doesn't stand up really well to the expected rocks etc that will hit the bumper. I think I WILL end up using it on my T/A sail panel when I get around to it.

I have extensive plastidip experience, but you just cant get the right color match/gloss look im going for even if you use glossifier.

That being said, the bumpers are painted and ready to rock, polish is the only thing left and to put them back on. They already look good so I think it'll turn out just fine once polished.

Sounds good, just give me a call sometime tomorrow

Put er together after work today. I think it turned out pretty good~ Not perfect, but pretty good.

I also threw a new Pioneer stereo at it since the kenwood that was in it didnt have blueooth



I went out and washed the truck and went through the drive through tonight, and got complimented 3 times on the truck. I have noticed that I've had more people saying something, breaking necks, and eye****ing this truck than ever did my my T/A.

So.. the truck is 'done'.. besides replacing the airbags and putting on the hideahitch.. what tf should I do now?

Drive it man.

Buy a Ford? IJSROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Oh, it will get driven.


I got to tons of local car cruises and shows, and my goal this year is to make it to most/all of them with two vehicles.

if I was looking for a work truck i would be all over it.


But for hot rodsh it you cant pry me away from my LS.

What to do now?

Lay a mattress down in the bed and christen that thing.

Good idea. Maybe even get really crazy and involve a partner??

Well I didn’t think I’d have to spell that out for him.

But if no bitches be down, rubbing one out can work.

Good luck Hometeam.

My truck needs an oil change

My truck rides ****ing fantastic since we put the shocks on it last week

I bet it was rough before lol

I didn’t realize how bad it was lol. But it is worlds better now

Dont know if you guys have seen these before but a few dealerships have started putting the old school look into the new GM trucks

http://imagesvc.timeincapp.com/v3/fo...3Fquality%3D85

The left front was locking up and when I went to chuck them out on the pile I noticed the right rear was full of water. I can believe it was bad lol

Guess I was trying out a new form of hydraulics on the rear

:D

I don't know my trucks that well but isn't that truck like a 14-15? Have they been doing this for a while or just happen to have leftover '15's laying around?

https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net...54&oe=5B4D0602

This is the new one. I hope that's vinyl and not paint...

https://scontent-dfw5-1.xx.fbcdn.net...c5&oe=5B388DD2

I never liked that look. Even when it was new.

That red with white sucks hind tit but I did like the mis 80's look. really $50 K and it looks like, well shit.

Love it, and the wheels, yes!

Chevy gets it, love the 2 tone look with old school wheels.

So GM is bringing back the Chevy Cheyenne truck? Is this an upgrade from the Silverado or just an optional package?

You do remember White wagon wheels after a year or two...

Just for fun

Forgot to post this.

We had a couple of minor fixes, took it off the dyno, handled it. Brought it back a week later.

At the wheels, 636HP 602TQ

@ 12PSI, on 91 Octane pump gas.

Keep in mind that that this was a 2,600lb car from the factory...now it's gutted. Customer brought it back, dialed it back a notch because it would get squirrly around 30% throttle in pretty much every gear. Our tuners detuned it, now we're making it street legal (just adding glass, seatbelts, hood) and the customer will go beat on it again before he brings it back to be turned into an actual car.

I am also now a dealer for Black Widow Exhaust. If you haven't heard their mufflers, google it. The videos don't do them justice, these mufflers sound mean. I'm excited to be dealing their stuff now.

https://i.imgur.com/Y1MrkZj.jpg

How much for the muffler in the pic?

$124.95, 2.5", 14" x 9" x 4" Bi-Directional

How loud are they?

Ive got an 86 short bed with a big block. The exhaust is tucked up under the bed tight and then angles down right in front of the rear pan.

It sounds great but will rattle your ****ing brain lol. Thinking of changing the mufflers.

Will you ship em? I'd rather just buy from you if we can pull it off.

Pretty sure i can have it drop shipped directly to you. If not, yes i can ship. Are they loud? Yeah they're fairly loud with an aggressive tone. They have an endless amount of exhaust sound clips on their Instagram you can check out. There's a bunch on their site too. We're huge fans. Up until we started using Black Widow we were using Spintech, which also sound pretty good.

When you're ready, PM me and I can get it done for you. I can do both Paypal or over the phone credit card.
