    Hello my name is TommyT.
    I live in Lapote, Texas.
    I own an '01 Silverado and an '04 Tahoe. Both have 5.3's and are automatics.
    The Tahoe has 20"MbMotoring Precise Rims, a K&N filter and Hypertech Programmer Tunning (for 87 octane, gas prices).
    The silverado has only a K&N FIPK II and a descreened stock MAS.
    The silverado will recieve more mods than the Tahoe becaues the truck is mine and tahoe is my wifes. I have only dabled in hotrodding. I've never really had the cash to do any serious mods to my cars/trucks. Maybe at this point in my life I'll be able to do some really fun mods other than just a chip, exhaust, or filters.
    I'm 34 with two step sons that take alot of time, effort, and MONEY to raise, so upgrades will happen slowly. Maybe I'll win the 104+ Octane contest and get to spend 10 grand on my truck engine.
    Thanks for reading my brief history and I already thoroughly enjoy reading all of the posts here. you guys are all helpful and informative as well as entertaining.

    Welcome! Take your time with mods, this is suposed to be fun. Ask lots of questons, there are many others who have probally done what you are planning/thinking about and they can tell you if the result is worth it before you spend your money. There are alot of "free" mods that you can do to increase HP too so you don't have to spend a bundle to have fun.

    Welcome You have picked a good site for info and good people.

    take you time and spend your money wisely and you will have a sweet ride.

    Im certainly not rich, have family to support and child support to pay of 1000.00 per month and am steadily modding the truck. You can also find some good deals on this site.

    I had wanted a 4.10 gear and put a request in on the parts wanted and one of the guys gave me one. Great to have you
