WOW...sure looks great on the bench! What heads and cam did you get? Gotta love those long tube headers for torque!

buckola · 05-27-2004, 08:04 PM

Vortecs, Eedelbrock Performer, Crane 272 adv. duartion and .454 lift. Cam may be a little small but theres no law that saws I can't change it later

Nice truck you got I am sure that the part's will make it a sweet sounding cruiser..

buckola · 05-27-2004, 08:25 PM

Truth is FB72 is I have a bet with of all people ...my boss...that before the end of the summer I'll beat his 2003 Yukon at our local strip. I think this combo should help. My drawback will be the 307 gear.

Forget running your truck against the Yukon---run the table....people love the big, brown table... :p

Sweet Man, can't wait to see her installed...

buckola · 05-28-2004, 06:04 AM

If I run the "Brown Table", should I remove the litter box from underneath it for weight reduction or move it to the back for weight transfer

Bowtie67 · 05-28-2004, 07:33 AM

Nice , dont forget to match the valve springs for the cam..

buckola · 05-28-2004, 08:51 AM

You bring up an interesting point Bowtie. On an earlier thread I posted it was suggested that if the springs were in good shape ( in this case new) that new springs would not be necessary. Do you think that running the stock Vortec springs with this cam would be an unwise choice?

**Yukon Jack** · 05-28-2004, 09:12 AM

I'll put my money on your truck - those are some nice improvements you will be adding.

bigjimzlll · 05-28-2004, 09:59 AM

for the price of "Z28" springs its a wise choice to replace the stockers. Its a mild cam, but you will be reving quite a bit higher than a stock vortec. The last thing you want isto break a spring.

Bowtie67 · 05-28-2004, 10:09 AM

I think I would have a reputable machine shop double check. I personally have not run Vortec heads, I here they are ok to 450 lift but there might be a seat pressure issue of the springs for a performance cam. It is easier & cheaper doing it now then later after the motor is all put together and have something go wrong.

buckola · 05-28-2004, 10:20 AM

Good point Bowtie ...thanks !
