Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

long tube pacesetter ceramic coated. They dont fit without grinding alot of the frame away and even the engine mounts but after you get that done they look sick and work great! You can find them at texas speed and performance for the cheapest.

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

Yup that thing was on Craigs and I helped him part it out. It wasnt a fun experience seeing all his work be torn apart. It was my inspiration but im still tugging away.

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

ya my truck is bagged. you have to get boner to bag his truck! I keep telling him he should... I wish those headers wouldn't have hung past the frame rails cause they were *****en looking! but the new ones should be cool! I called dough thorleys and they told me maybe they will hang down an inch past my frame so should be money!

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

considering how much further forward your motor is mounted then mine....those headers might just work for me too...I'll have to look at them closer. Hopefully they have 1 7/8" primaries or are available that way. I might consider 1 3/4"... depending on how much they get for them.

Hahaha I am down to race!!! Hopefully I will have mine running by december! I have been working on the harness and I built the fuse block to power the sucker and just today finished putting the harness together on the truck with the wire loom and routed it to all the sensors so just a little more and it will be cranking over!

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

Got the dyno on my ride finally and hit my goal! 304 horses to the wheels!!! Thats out of a baby 4.8l! Sounds mean as hell too! I will try and figure out how to post my dyno sheet. I am horrible when it comes to little crap like that. Now I am sure I can beat any rich kid rolling around in his parents mustang or charger! No offense!

Re: GEN III C10 Full Air ride build

What year are your headers for? Are they for the newer trucks with the 4.8/5.3/6.0 motors or for our year?

The headers are for the 4.8/5.3l/6.0 they are pacesetter headers. bought them off texas speed and performance. had to do alot of frame rail notching to make them fit.
