new seats are in and got dyno numbers

Well I finally found a killer deal on a set of 03 seats. Found a guy on craigslist with them for $150!! Man its nice to have an arm rest and a set of cup holders.. haha









I still have to modify the trim pieces of the sides, then order some new carpet and padding. Think I am going to go with grey carpet and put grey carpet on the doors to give the interior a two tone that matches the exterior..

Also saturday at work on of the guys kept bugging me about putting my truck on the dyno to see what it makes. Well I finally gave in, the engine was hot as I just got to the shop, and it was 100* that day with an unlocked converter. I figure it prolly makes another 20 hp with a cooled engine, locked converter and little better temps.

Its a stock ls1 with a tiny ie under 220 duration cam, stock manifolds, stock truck intake, etc. looking to put a larger cam in soon, then a set of headers and hope for over 400 rwhp.

Re: new seats are in and got dyno numbers

Looks comfy. My belly is too big to have a seat like that. I was too close to the steering wheel LOL!!!!!
