I still have mine sitting in my parent's garage (used to be Thunder's). Unfortunately since I moved I have no where to work on my truck (I hate apartment living). Someday I'll have to make a trip home to my parent's and do it...

This was changed for the '03+ HOs and I dunno why, but the '02 HO intake ain't to be found so I had to flush the sh*t out of mine from all the debris got sucked up into it when the valve seat let loose...
That sucks, the '02 HO intake is indeed rare. Wouldn't give that up lol.

Do it, too it! The install isn't hard at all.

Just sitting here looking at your sig pic. Isn't it amazing what a little time, money and TLC can do to change a plain Jane looking truck into a totally BAD *** looking truck! You've done good Corey!!

Thank ya, sir! You set it off to a good start, still loving these wheels. Nice enough I've had people try to talk me out of them.

I feel like with a bed cover and getting the stillen cover in the barn fixed and painted, I'll be satisfied with the outside. After a few dings from the previous owner are fixed of course. Once money and priorities allow...

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!

Satisfied? Now you know you'll have to get yourself and cowl hood and color match the handles and roof strips don't you?

I'm curious, will putting the stock throttle body back on show the type of improvement you guys are talking about or does that need to be changed out too (larger)? If I could pull this off for a few hundred, then follow up with an SCT tuner that might be enough to make me happy for a while anyway

Got me again lol...That'll get done eventually. Hoping to move in November, if I can find a better job to support the rent. This means I gotta cut back on mods...

I'm running a stock 68mm ported/polished throttle body on mine. I hear its even better with a 70mm. Eventually I want to get SCT, but with the few mods I do have its hard to justify.
