Well heres the deal. I get bored when not on mission so I spend alot of time reading on this site and many others and fell like buying something. I like to spend money on my truck to make it better and have spent some on it already and just want get an idea of what else I can do to make it perform better when sled pulling or drag racing all the while still keeping it a daily driver. Here's the run down of it so far.

H2 cam
Hamilton valve springs
Flux sticks
upgrading my stg 2 Floor-It pump
taking off the HTT turbo and putting on a S400
losing the 2 piece manifold and putting on a 2nd gen 2 piece HTT
my intermediate shaft is the only one not billet and trans is all HTS creation
AFE Bladerunner intake
Snow water system
headstuds going in
enough gauges
Smarty Tnt-R
Mp-8
ATS Co-Pilot not on yet


I don't want to spend loads more $$$ this spring or really tear the motor to far apart. Looking for bolt ons or minor work to head.
I guess it just comes down to I am bored on the FOB and feel like spending some money.
 
no necessarily power adders but, a way to keep a hole from burning through your wallet...

Hamilton push rods
you could do some powder coating to engine parts
add some SS braided lines / oversized fuel lines
Spearco intercooler
install oversized seats in the head
install some ARP rocker studs
Opie's by-pass kit
gut the heater grid
 
Thanks Ty, I have a bypass already. Sorry I forgot some more stuff that you reminded me of. Heater grid delete and rail is capped. Ladder bars are also going on this month to. I will look into the pushrods and the intercooler I think will be this summer sometime. I am lucky enough to have a good friend putting most these things I have bought on this next week while I sit here.
 
Anybody else got anything. Anybody got anything business wise you need a paying guinea pig. Never knew it was this hard to spend money on something. I am very open to suggestion.
 
Jeremy I can always count on you to find something. I don't think that will follow the no chrome trend (ecxept wheels) I have going on. It is nice looking but just don't fit the truck.

I don't see an Intercooler yet. Looks like,...sounds like,.... you're gonna need an aftermarket one. By the way,.. I like your platoon in your avatar. Nice bunch of guys (smile).!!!!!
 
Thanks Pat but that one is gone now. I am working on the intercooler. Hopefully soon I will get it.

Just don't spend the extra $$$ and get it polished... then just have it powdercoated black, red, whatever you want :D

I hate shiny stuff too, when you get back you'll have to check out my new motor/no shiny stuff scheme, lol

I have a new S400 I'll be pulling with, but I do have two turbos to build twins with if I ever decide to finish it, lol.
