A hooker might have been cheaper and more satisfying. What you get for 12 bills?

Downpipe,wastegate, and injectors. This thig is a big puzzel Im slowley getting back together. When I bought it, it was in 3 different locations in boxes. I was told everything was there... well.... It wasnt. Oh well. Its been alot of fun and a learning experience.

Because throwing parts and money at these trucks does not make them fast... Tune is EVERYTHING. Unless you plan on doing a tune quit while you're ahead. Tuning is the number one go fast mod :2cents:


I hope in that $1200 you included a walbro fuel pump, full tune up parts, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

I plan on it. Tuning is everything no matter what you are working on. I plan on learning code 59. Just have to jump in and do it. When I get to that point of course.

Re: This thing better be fast!!!!!!

I have some pictures on the computer at home. I will try to post some tonight. I bought the injectors from Racetronix and the downpipe and wastegate from RPM. When I bought the truck it came with an ATR stage 3 kit that was never used and some of it was missing. The downpipe being part of the missing stuff. The truck has been apart since 2003 and I didnt want to trust the injectors plus they are the stock ones so I went with the 60# from Racetronix

This is my thought. You are a new guy and though I don't know your knowledge of the trucks or cars at all, your attitude of "I spent $$$$$$ it better be fast" is the absolute wrong attitude to have when owning one of these things. You say you plan on a tune and "learning" code59, IMO, tuning is not something you want to try and "learn" after you spend thousands of dollars on go fast goodies.

Sorry, even though I am an ass around here, I figure I may as well get my shots in so I can say told you so:lol: Here is the way I see it going. You get it all together, start "tuning", it feels like it should be real fast, you go real fast, have some "strange" knocking sound coming form "somewhere" and you sell it because SYTY's are pieces of shit. It's just what I am used to seeing around here these days. Sorry man, nothing personal against you.

Take peoples' advice and go slow, you'll get "there" faster;) Good luck man:tup:

Parts dont = fast. If your gonna put those 60#s in your gonna need a base chip right off the bat as the ecm won't like them at all. :2cents:
