Default The New Guy From KC

Whats up guys?!

So I heard about this site from a few guys off of KCSR. I was told its where I need to come to get some more information on my truck.

I just got it about 2 months ago. It is a 2006 Silverado, with the 5.3 V8.

IT has Pacesetter Headers, Custom CAI, and Exhaust..

Hopefully I will have some gears and a tune before spring break.. I have a nitrous kit from my old car I am going to put on it.. but waiting for the professional tune.

I also have a few other cars...

a 1994 Ford Probe GT- Mazda KLZE swap, Jspec ECU, 9lb flywheel, stage2 clutch, alluminum underdrive pully, headers, no cat, 2'' lowering springs, 50shot of nitrous.
*fun, quick little car.. probably good for a high13 low 14 second quarter w/o the nitrous. Never taken it to the track, so dont quote me on that.

and

a 2002 Eclispe GT- lamborghini doors,ballistcs body kit, traser2 front bumper, bullit fenders, carbon fiber evo hood,
*supposed to be a show car, new engine has 22k miles on it and allready ticks, needs a newer paint job... probably going to sell it as it sits to someone because im tired of working on it. It is a HUGE money pit.
(sorry, but that is a cool emoticon_)

My goal for the SIlverado is to make it able to beat lightnings. I am into more than just racing, so i will be giving her a face lift. Probably the Silvrado SS front bumper a roll pan, a drop, paint the piece between the headlights, and either a bed cover, or a little lip wing like on the RST silverados.
-It allready has 20'' rims, grill, chrome door handles (those will be painted haha too much for my taste)

questions for me?

Pictures of the truck:

I live in Overland Park, the girl I date lives in Shawnee so you may see me around.

I am talking to ChuxTrux about getting a little work done to it for Spring, but we will see what they give me for an estimate.
