Mods Because Of Social Distancing

[donjetman]

Ok Chris, you talked me out of the headers. I'll stick to stock exh manifolds. Thanks

Social distancing has given me way too much time. I'm ordering parts for mods I've only been dreaming about doing to our Yukon. I like to experiment, so

I've ordered and I'm adding:
a) a remote mounted 1 gal oil tank to increase sump capacity, Viair# 91014
b) a oil cooler, Hayden# 696
c) a 180* thermostat

and if the social distancing continues long enough, I'm gonna:
d) remove the heads so as to extract all the broken exh manifold bolts.
e) install headers
f) hallow out, or replace w/fake, the cats
g) get the engine tuned for 87 octane and two O2 sensors.
h) get the trans tuned

I have 2 drag race cars, that's why I drive the Yukon like a lil ol lady. I get my kicks at the track. Remember, we mainly use this vehicle to drive at the speed limit to and from a second home 1000 miles away.

Any part# suggestions/link?
Anything else while it's down and/or apart?

Thanks

Just buy an off-road y pipe with no cats.
Edit: didn’t even notice the 87 tune. Don’t do that, it makes zero sense. Tune it for 92 and most tuners , Blackbear included will tune the trans too. You won’t lose power if you go with 1 3/4” primaries on the headers and it will sound great and be fun to drive, even if you drive slow.

Or better yet... drive to FL... swap your 6.2L for my 5.3L and we will both be happy.

Let me know when to expect you so we can have supper ready for you.

Don't try to horn in on my deal... it's first come, first served and I offered first.

That's a good idea too, thanks

You some funny guys.

Even closer than LA or FL is my shop where I could swapout the Yukon 6.2L for the 2008 5.3L that's in my 51 Chevy 5 window PU.

But I drive the 51 rarely, and when I do, I drive it like a Lil ol lady too.

Are you pretty enough to be driving that thing?
