Will, let us know when you are willing to give up that 6.0.

We could use another backup motor.

I think my favorite part is how android owners claim iPhone owners are nerds then proceed to list off every spec of their phone and all of the weaknesses of the iPhone.

I'll be honest I don't know when the last Samsung phone came out or what it is called, I certainly didn't make it s point to tell everyone who just bought it they are stupid.

Yet I'm the fanboy.

Carry on haters... Went from a 5 to a 6 and aside from the 46.00 in taxes I paid nothing up front and my phone bill went down slightly switching to the Next plan... Thank you Cook County Goverment Discount.

I don't know as much about suspension stuff as people might think. I'm still learning and it's the one area I just don't do well with. My shocks have been holding me back for some time so going with the nice viking's really helped the weight transfer and holeshot issues I was having. On the KYB AGX shocks I was unloading the rear during the 1-2 shift and for a while thought my trans was slipping but turns out I was spinning.

It's about 3800-3850 with me in it. It's no light weight thats for sure.

Nope, not yet. Going to keep it as a backup motor or stick it in a car for my son when he turns 16. We work on stuff together so it's fun

Yeah, going to start out with a MWC turbo k-member (in case I ever decide to go FI in the future), UMI upper/lower A-arms, and move from there.

Need to decide what I am doing for the rest of the suspension.

On another note, any recommendations from you guys for LS3 heads? Already have an LS3 intake manifold ordered.

Still crushed being going ported LS3 heads or just using stock as-cast LS3 heads since they already flow so well.

Agreed they're both good. The 67-72 cab floors rot out really bad though. My favourite would be a later 70's silverado

If you're building the motor I would definitely port while you're in there.
