alright soo i wish i could cam it or add gears and a posi but that seems to be kinda steep at the moment for me but maybe in the future also if i get efans i have to do a tune first to set it up for the fans right? i also need the harness but will any tune let me do the efans? also do you got any more info on the clutch?..so what do you guys think about this?

E-fans
tune
LT headers
stall converter

would this be a good start? just to get alittle more power out of her

I would do the headers first! The E-fans and. Tune together the fans won't work with out a tune / retune to account for them. The clutch is the fan clutch! Also if doing the headers get the Y pipe too!


But yes that's a good start.

Just did the e fans swap and fipk 2 system intake and I noticed a small difference. Looking to get some jba headers and full exhaust with flowmasters and turn downs at the rear axel. I'm still confused on the tune part

If I do these intake and exhaust mods on my 4.8 could I also use them on a 6.0 in the future?

BTW, I love your HD front end. Did you paint it yourself? If so what did you use? I really want to paint my chrome bumpers but I am afraid the paint will not match.

Oh awesome, because I would really like to squeeze some extra power out of my 4.8 but I also plan on swapping a 6.0 at some point in the future and I would hate to waste money on bolt-on parts that cannot be reused. I really hope that a BB tune will wake my little motor up a bit.

Yea I had never seen a tahoe with a HD conversion but it looks really cool. If you dont mind me asking what did the shop charge you to paint the grill and hood? You do not have to replace the fenders right?
