Default KFC Breaks In His New Car vs TT Fox, TVS 5.0 and Bolt On 5.0

Got a new shitbox. Sounds like ****, has shitty gears and a shitbag tune. Need some TLC and to GTFO the V6 wheels that are on it, you'll hear a whole lot of spinning and pedaling coming from the T/A.

But hey, it's not GF's Z28!! lol

You're playing with fire with that 7k ms4 cam and stock 99 rod bolts. I would change out that cam asap.

Congrats on the new pickup and good runs.

Oh trust me I know! I'm only taking it to 6500 anyway, that's what I feel is safe-ish with stock rod bolts. Slightly debating whether or not to keep the long *** gears for a little bit just to be different... I have some bad to the bone 243s that are gonna go on it along with some other stuff I've been stockpiling. Cam is coming out fo sho, I'll make more power out of a smaller, custom cam and not pound the valvetrain as hard.

Tire is also at the top of the list, it came with some 17x9/17x11 ZR1s, I just have to get one of the rear wheels repaired from where the PO whacked a curb avoiding an accident. 245/50 all seasons make traction impossible in all of first gear.
