So i bought my 2006 SS back early May this year. Needed a new truck and couldnt have a regcab cause of the kid. So I searched all over for a clean Ext or CC and came across the SS. They had another CC there so I convinced the wife we were going to look at the CC. Went to the dealership and meandered over the the super clean SS. She knew what I was up too and decided to atleast take a test drive in both. After the rides she told me to get the one i wanted and we all knew which one i took home. She had a CAI and Magnaflow catback. 3.73's As soon as I got her home it was straight to my buddy who owns Top Notch Window Tinting in South Jersey to get the proper look. A week later I took her to the track for her first pass
not too shabby for mostly stock
here she is after clearing the headlights. Notice the monster lift?
I Couldnt have it sitting that high so I installed some 2" drop spindles and shackle and hangers for a 2/4 drop. Front still sat high so i de-cranked the torsion bars and achieved the stance I wanted. 3/4 also at this time I installed a tahoe valance to clean up the front end.
added some 10k HIDS
Now i had the itch to go faster so I added a new air filter and plugs, 160 t-stat, t-body bypass, and corvette servos. Next was a black bear tune. I went back to the track and played with the tire pressure some trying to get a better bite.
Now I have no traction
So I wasnt digging my headlights or tails so I tinted them and did my corners in the front
Goal with this truck is to be reliable DD and go FASTER!
plans are:
255/50/16 M+H DR
cal trac bars + clamped front spring
Edge 3400 converter, HD2 shift kit, 40k cooler
VRX3 cam 226/228 .585/.588 i have the option of 112/113/114 LSA opinions on which?
7.4 pr's PAC 1218's ls2 chain ported pump
trunion upgrade
TSP 1 3/4" SS headers
ported truck intake manifold
black bear does my tuning so got that covered.
oh and a completely hidden plate kit 100 to start, be able to up it to 200
if by chance i end up with money for heads what would you all recommend?
Ballpark what power im at now, will be getting a dyno pull on as soon as the shop down the street finishes install to get a baseline.
Also where I will be at power wise and 1/4 wise
