That we'll definately beef it up big time. Although a custom ECU tune goes hand in hand with that to make it work. Honestly there aren't too many guys on here who'd know about it but www.ls1truck.comis a GREAT forum to learn about it on. There are dozens of guys on there who have done cam swaps on these trucks. Good luck with it man.

Your in Pensacola, Florida? Cool man. I'm really close to you.

By the way, last I checked, Bully Dog only makes programmers for diesels. Also, your so close to XXX Performance you should save your money and get it custom tuned anyway.

Oh... I was notified about this![:@] LOL! I know Banks offers shorty headers and I think they offer an intake for us as well. But never heard of Bully Dog making anything for a non-diesel vehicle.

Yeah I sent banks a email with some questions and now they keep calling me. I haven't answered yet because I know I wont be able to say no. Ive made a bunch of money on the job im on right now(do to 103 hrs a week average) so I plan on going turbo. But I want to wait till I get home. Mostly because I wont have anything to drive during the build. Here is what made me cream my jeans
