Hi all

I"ve had a z28 for over a year and after lots of blue light attention for me, we decided it was time to add another new vehicle to the family to help lower our insuance rates .

My husband found a black 2000 Silverado with flowmaster exhaust for me to use as my daily driver. It is certainly much less eye catching for the local PD, thank God!

So, now I have to learn what all I can do to "increase it's performance," because we were kidding around one night and I said something to the effect of "well I'll just run over your car" to which his reply was a very calm "You have to catch me first."

It was then that I realized I had given up way too much power so I'm here to quietly learn what I can do to sneak some extra horsepower into my truck and gain a little ground on him.

For all major things that have to be outsourced to places like Norris and Thunder Racing, I can actually get away with going to visit "family" for a few days and I have a good friend that will help me with the little stuff on the side. I just want to be able to make informed decisions that don't create the I modded this and that broke, so I gotta mod that and wait for something else to break

So please bear with if I ask a girly questions from time to time!!

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the site! I'd recommend some longtube headers, torque converter, and a magnacharger for the truck. That should get you into the 13s
