I think the biggest thing that would compliment the new intake, would be headers, and a better y-pipe. No point in being able to suck more air in, if you can't get it out. A tune to go along with it would be a major eye-opener.

 

Im gettin a set of headers and a y pipe in a few weeks. I decided I'm going to build the motor instead of lift and tires. So I think I'm going to do that, the intake, a comp 270 cam, bigger injectors and maybe get the heads ported and polished.

 

You might want to hold off on the injectors. I heard that the stock injectors are capable of handling a lot. You might want to look into that.

 

And also budget for a custom tune. What year is your truck?

 

It's a 97

 

Cool, then Hemifever can set ya right up.

Doing a cam change complicates things. You need the custom tune, and, in order for the custom tune to be reasonably accurate, you need a wideband O2 sensor.......

Chat with Hemifever before committing to the cam.

 

Ok, just wondering what a sct tuner costs?

 

For "canned" tunes, 265 bucks. Three tunes, 87, 91, and 94. (referring to octane rating of the gas required to run them.) For custom tunes, (which you need if doing things like cam, heads, etc.) 365. Also three tunes, (I think) with free adjustments as deemed necessary. That's where the wideband O2 sensor comes in. The widebands run anywhere from 200...... you can spend a lot very easily.

if you don't wanna get that berserk, just go with some 1.7 roller rockers. You get a power boost from fooling the engine into thinking the cam is bigger, without pissing off the PCM, and you get a bit more from all the friction in the valve train you just eliminated.

 

The truck doesn't have carpet, does it?

 

Yeah, it does. I'm hopin to get vynil or whatever it is
