    Welcome man. I know your probably thinking of your warranty right now, but if you decide you don't care about that and wanna make it faster, check out Truck Forums - Truck Enthusiast Forum for Ford Chevy Dodge Toyota Nissan GMC pickup trucks There is a silverado board in there with a FAQ that has a discussion on several FREE mods you can do to these trucks to get you a bit more power. Good luck with it.

    I dunno about that lol...I put a rebuilt TBI in my old truck with a mild cam and just about every bolt-on possible, intake, headers, etc...it had a rebuilt 700r4 (super clean) with a 2400 stall and put in 3.90's with eaton posi it definately had alot more torque and low-end, but then again my 4.8 is bone stock and it has equal or more top end than my 350 did.

    Right now I want to get a custom tune to remove all of my TM, exhaust,lower it atleast 2/4 and get some nice wheels, tinted windows...colormatched handles, clear corners, maybe a billet grille...list goes on and on lol definately some more performance mods too.

    welcome aboard. if you have any questions let us know. i have my 4.8 running pretty well. Get a hold of Nelson and tell him you want the same tune that i have on my truck...dropped me a whole second in the 1/4. i also went with 4.10s. they have great steet manners and i still get 20 MPG on the highway.

    What all did you have them do with your tune? I'd like to lose a full second! Nice truck by the way, I'd like to run a 14.5 with just a few mods!
