Just did a flowmaster 40 series delta flow today and I am so happy with the result. Anyone have any suggestions to what should be done next?

Nice to meet you David! I got a swapped 350 in my hoe. It took alot of money to replace the transfer case in mine! Do you know any further troubles I should Have?

I have a 99 4dr LT old body style basically a 98. It's has 240 on the body and frame which is pretty much rust free. Surprisingly in the Midwest. I bought it with cracked heads for 500. I put some iron Summit Vortec heads on it, Chevrolet Performance LT-4 cam, Pacesetter LT headers, new Melling high volume oil pump, Melling hydraulic lifters, and stamped roller rockers. Stayed with 1.5 . Upgraded the FI. to the MPFI over the OE spider. My issue is routing my 3" cat free exhaust with the long tubes and side tank on the 4 door 4 wheel drive. Has anyone switched to the rear tank like the 2 door? If so what was the fabrication needed if any? Haven't dug into that yet. Thanks. I could help anyone with work that I've completed.

Does anyone know the difference between the 90s base, LS, and LT models?

I've got a 98 2wd 4dr with 308k miles. Only problems I've had are intake gasket and 4L60e's.
It's on its 4th counting the one that came with it new.
The spider injector is another potential problem area. Mine is somehow original with all the miles, but a lot of people have replaced theirs before 200k it seems.

I replaced my spider injector 20 000kms ago. It is a good thing to upgrade for general reliability.

Mine has admittedly been sitting for a few years while I've been trying to build a 94 Camaro.
It needs another intake gasket, possibly head gaskets/heads checked, the spider and 0² sensors.
I've recently decided to put the Camaro on hold and find a complete 5.3 and LS swap it. It probably won't cost much more, especially considering a revised spider is $400 by itself.

Also, I had a flowmaster 50 on my truck for a while. I swapped it for a spintech 6000 and it sounds awesome. It's loud though.
