    Cam choice?

    A cam that won't need to be retuned or new springs? You could swap in a new stock one. Identical to what you have now.....just newer. If you aren't adding enough lift to require new springs, nor adding enough additional duration to require a tune you're pissing in the wind. You'd probably gain...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Providing something ignorant doesn't happen I'm going to order a set of Stainless Works headers and off road pipe if the fit. I said I wouldn't buy anything SW again but they seem to be the best headers available for this chassis. Coated Hooker's are 900 without an ORY. Some 1.6 roller rockers...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Is there anyone that sells a manifold that doesn't require all the mods? I have very little time and if this is a worthwhile mod then I would consider it. But from the brief reading I was able to do in that thread it looked pretty involved and required a lot more than I was expecting...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    How much power does marine intake give over the stock intake? Also would maybe the Edelbrock air gap Carb style intake with a 4150 style 4 barrel throttle body? Just brainstorming on how to get better power and economy. Also with a Carb intake and Accell 4 barrel TB how could you, and how hard...

    I wasn't talking about intake manifold. I was talking about air intake. The 4.3 guys I know swap to the marine intake. Could the Vortec 5.7 benefit from a similar benefits?

    Awesome input. Since I live in Alabama I have no emissions testing so any and all emissions garbage will be removed. I wasn't going to replace the intake because on the newer style trucks I have had the stock intake was really good. Is that the case on this body style truck? This is my second...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    And, Jenna when could you tune the ECU and have it shipped to me, how much would it be, would there be a core and how much is it? The truck is a 1996 Chevy Tahoe. I spoke with Nelson because I had forgotten about y'all and they said they would do it for $200. I have never had anything tuned by...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Do you sell the wiring to connect the fans? And if you can find someone better at DT to deal with than I could you might be able to find someone but I had to call I promise 6 times before I got someone. I will be getting with you to tune the truck hopefully in a couple days. I am trying to get...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Finally got in touch with someone at Doug Thorley. They discontinued making headers for our trucks. He suggested Gibson but the first hand experience I've had with their products has always been less than stellar Where would you rank Hooker versus Pacesetter? When you mentioned stainless I'm...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Getting the ECU tuned won't be a problem. Do I need the MSD 6A or 6AL? Doesn't the truck's ECU have a rev limiter? So why would I need a 6AL? That's the only difference between the two I've found. Headers, what are y'all using? Ultimate plan would be 383 with the 350 gives up the ghost and it'd...

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Wouldn't the 3 1/2" exhaust be comparable to running a dual 2 1/2"? I've noticed my torque seemed higher with a nice Y and high flowing single pipe. With dual exhaust it seemed to greatly help high end HP and the engine's ability to rev higher faster

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    Since the headers for my chassis are out of stock it said that these are the next closest thing http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTE-300Y-S-C/Application/?prefilter=1 Will they fit my truck being a 4wd? I also have been doing a lot of reading about exhaust size. I have the exhaust from my...

    headers - opinions

    Doesn't Doug Thorley make some really nice Tri Y headers for these trucks? I had one on Samurai and was very happy

    How much power and economy do you think all that would gain me?

    Ignition and ECU tune questions

    I have 1996 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd and I'm having trouble with it starting. I've replaced a lot of the parts that could cause problems but none of them have fixed it. The code I'm getting is for a random misfire. Next up to replace is a distributor cap, rotor button, and coil. I want to upgrade the...

    Will 4th gen F body efans fit a 96 Tahoe

    So what's the best sensor to get? How effective are the ones that connect to the radiator hoses? Or can I connect it to the ecu I'll use when the ls goes in

    Will 4th gen F body efans fit a 96 Tahoe

    What is the best one to get and just in case what fans are usually used? Ultimately my plan is a LQ9. When I swapped in that wouldn't I swap in the newer ECU that would have the provisions to control it?

    Will 4th gen F body efans fit a 96 Tahoe

    I have a set of these I was going to put on my 2000 Silverado but I'm not going to run them on it. I also have the Nelson harness with the relays to connect it to the stock ECU. Can I use the fans on the radiator in the 1996 Tahoe? Can it be wired in the stock ecu like on the newer trucks? Or do...

    torssion bars to coil overs

    Add coil overs to a IFS and gain no strength. Or swap a solid and link it with coil overs or leaf springs and gain tons of strength. If I go bigger than 32s I'm doing D60 and 14

    Another Brake Thread

    Is there something available for a Tahoe with 15" wheels?

    2500 leaf springs

    If they don't fit you could pull the packs apart and use whatever leafs you want and get the total lift you want without having to order a new leaf pack like a Deaver or such

    Simple question... Crank & Blocks.

    I raised mine 2 1/2 and put a 3 block on the back with 32 BFG MT on MT Classic

    Got me a 2" Lift Kit

    I went today and got some 32" BFG MT KM off a friend's truck that were less than 1,000 miles old. Got them balanced, torsion bars cranked to clear 32s, aligned, and bought and installed 3" blocks for less than $200. Fits fine, clears great and since it's my wife's truck she loves it

    Just got some 32" tires and have some brake questions

    I turned to torsion bars for an additional 1 1/2" lift. Now the back is 2 1/2" lower. Will a 3" block do the trick? Should I get a pinion angle corrected one for a 3" lift? The wheels are Mickey Thompson Classic and my next question is brakes. The front needs pads. Should I get replacement pads...

    Time for tires. What is needed to clear a 285/75

    In the past when I have lowered vehicles I have had best results when using spindles. Would this be a good kit? Plus it would maintain adjustablity of final lift with the torsion bars without gaining all my lift from cranking on the torsion. My only concern with this kit is angle of the axle...
