I will use the same tires. I am staying with a 20". This size and the specs on the tire are perfect for me, the small amount of lift on the truck, and my towing.

Brakes are first on my list starting in December. The front will have 2006 PBR 2 piston calipers, Baer DecelaRotors in the 2006 stock size. The rears will have 2004 Silverado SS AWD 2 piston calipers and Baer DecelaRotors in stock size. The pads will be Hawk HPS on all 4 corners. I will also finish up the Hydroboost swap.

 

Brakes are the priority after I get it to pass emissions and get the registration paid. then I will start getting the gear swap bought in pieces. The gear swap and Bags have to be done before July.

Looking at long tubes now. If I can find a setup that will not drone with the Corsa Sport I will be happy. I may have to experiment with cat combos after the headers, but IF I do long tubes, I WILL do cutouts

Pacesetters?

Not sure on brand. Not even sure if I am going to go with coated. I may try a set of cheaper ones with 1 3/4 primaries to figure out the setup I want before I splurge on the high quality ones

Apparently the obx and llp variants on eBay generally fit pretty well... but being you are 2wd and coils up front ls1 f body headers fit too. I would never buy arh, stainless works or any of those.... way to much money for something that may or may not drop in. Being a 2wd makes this very forgiving luckily.

I think I will be going with OBX. $550 to my door isnt bad. This project may come about in December or January

Posted

The thing I saw with the OBX that I liked, it comes with resonators and bolts to the cat-back

Getting a bit bored with the look of the truck, I will be doing subtle changes. The lights mainly. I will be getting rid of the Denali heads, Anzo LED corners, and all the Recon lights in the rear. The heads and corners will be smoked and cleared, the tails will be silverado tails, but not sure if I will have any modifications done to them

Also looking into the future, if prochargers kit becomes legal in Cali, I will be adding one. If not I may be moving after college so I can do what I want.

I keep looking at forced induction. I can get a TVS2300 on a Gen 3 manifold at $6100.

 

But today I sold off my TBSS intake setup.
