fastman 50mm tb
full exhaust setup ....Suggestions?...
Chip?



i have a plan to get some power out of the 318, whats a reasonable number with a reasonable amount of mods?

 

I Like that color! Looks nice :-) Welcome to DF! Where'd ya get the decal on the rear? or did you buy it with it already on?

 

Nice truck. Welcome to DF!

For the exhaust, nothing beats long tube headers with true dual exhaust. Thats the most expensive but the best route, if I'm not mistaken.

Also, to pair up with the Fastman nicely, get a good CAI or the 14x3 round air cleaner setup.

The 318 gets 230hp stock I believe. For increases from these mods, I have no real idea, other than its not near what the manufacturers claim. But I can tell you that you'll get a lot better acceleration out of her once she can breath.

If you don't mind me asking... you said she was in a rear end collision but repaired, and then stated you were going to get it new front and rear bumpers. If its already been fixed, why are you getting another rear bumper? Or a front for that matter? Just curious.

 

What year truck? I have a 2000 4x4 w/318, when my cat pluged I took the exhaust off cut the cat open then empted it them welded it back , It was like a new motor better than before. I ended up pulling a 25ft 5th wheel with it

 

tim- yes the decal came with the truck.

jason- the rear end wreck was with the previous owner. and i got caught up in a front end fender bender with a suburban. just a messed up front bumper so i took all the plastic off and have been running around with just chrome.

buford- its a 2001 2wd with the tow package.

 

Check out stickergirl.com I got some decals from there and it looks like they have the one he has.

pavestar that color is awesome nice truck.

 

have decided im going to go ahead and purchase a super chips tuner, intake and a full exhuast.(headers , cats , tubeing) i plan on making this a 300+ hp street sleeper that can take on some cars.

 

If you are going to buy a new programmer from what I've read check out he SCT.

 

thats a nice truck u got i really like that color have for yrs that and red ....go fig huh....j

 

Definitely consider SCT. More expensive, but it will run circles around superchips.
