350 vortec mods

[Dirtautoguy]

I'm wanting to do some mods to my 96 chevy k1500 it has a true dual exhaust and k&n filter and that's about it the rest is stock

 

1. I want to get rid of the accordion style pipe on the intake system and replace it with a smooth pipe.

2.delete the vortec silencer box and plug the hole

 

3. I heard there is another silencer towards the grille I would like to remove if it would do any good.

 

4. I heard there was some good chips or tunes I could get that would be ok for what mods I have I'm not looking for anything insane just something a little more then average factory truck

Do what you have planned, honestly the best thing for these trucks is to ditch te throttle body for a carb. Then look for some .202 heads/decent cam. That with a carb on it will make some newer trucks look silly.

H well I was takin the mileage into consideration but more than 3/4 of the 215000 miles are highway miles and its still strong and doesn't burn oil so it should last me a while longer.
