Hope your doing good in all life's adventures and Can t wait to see what's next!
Thanks man! I feel that I have hit the upper limit of the suspension already this year; I still have to install the taller balljoints and do the caster mod to the front. I really want to get a set of arms on the front and go coilovers all around but that will have to wait for a little while. I think I will be happy with the rear suspension when I can get my rear sway bar back on, I'm hoping to tackle that during lunch tomorrow.

I was able to get the truck on the dyno at work for some tuning and I'm very happy with the results. Baseline was 257 at the tires but running super rich. Our tuner changed the MAF tables from the LS1 to the OEM truck tables and picked up 18 wheel horsepower and after some time playing with the fuel tables, the final numbers were 281HP and 310 ftlbs. Not too bad for a junkyard NA 5.3!







And the video of the final pull. I need to figure out the smoking issue but I think the LS6 valley cover will help that out a little bit.

Hoping to hit up and autocross this weekend for some more seat time!
