Went to the local track again in mile high Albuquerque. Weather was great D/A was 7200 wooo hooo. Thats pretty good air for here :( Temps in the high 60s low 70s.
I ran at full weight, tailgate on, amp in, stock wheels and tires.
Nice to go to the track without a trolly jack and racing...
Wondering what pulley ratio to boost you are seeing? Exhaust setup would be good too?
As for me.
4" upper/ 2 pound metco lower = 15psi
3.5" upper/ 2 pound metco lower = 18psi
I run Kooks headers along with high flow cats and Silver Bullet Exhaust.
PS my total boost should be lower...

For those that have done this mod has anybody just ran the lines from the trans to the cooler and back? Missing out the trip through the water radiator?
If so any problems? Is the trans...
Here are a few pics of JJ's Wicked Suspension and Power Rack. I spent some time cleaning the frame, painting etc. Also fitted a set of R1 Concept front rotors. Been a good amount of work but I think it came out ok. My truck is a 2000 so the stock steering was not as responsive as the 01 and...
For you Mod motor engine builder types.
Just got my motor back from being rebuilt.
The bolts and risers that hold the cam covers were in the wrong order so I removed them to put them in the correct order.
With the cam covers off I checked a few things. I had new timing chain tensioners...

Looking for some ideas.
I upgraded to a 01-style lower intake manifold from my 2000 type.
In doing so I traded my 2000 style Whipple mid-plate for a 2001 type.
When trying to fit the intercooler to the billet mid-plate it turns out 10 of the 11 threaded holes were stripped or were over...
After owning my truck since 2000 I decided it was time to re-fit the interior.
A big thanks to Chris Nelson for his how to on the console and for answering any questions I had :rockon:
