Yeah, I haven't gotten around to updating my stats on here as of yet. A quick rundown on my truck would be......93 Chevy C2500, TBI 350, 4l80e, and 14 bolt semi-floating rear with 3.73 gears.
Mods are warm air intake, full tune up with plugs gapped to 52 and timing advanced 4* btdc, new 4.3 injectors ( smaller with less flow at stock fuel pressure), adjustable fuel pressure regulator running 5psi over stock pressure (with the smaller injectors I get almost the same flow as stock but it is a much finer spray that atomizes much better), K&N 3x14 element, stock y pipe with 3" pipe and high flow cat with turbo muffler ran to just before the rear axle, underdrive pulleys and twin electric fans wired to two toggle switches so I can engage them one or both at a time when needed. Also I found a set of 15 inch alloy wheels to replace the stock 16's, with 245/75/16's they weighed around 90lbs ( will get more accurate measurements). Now I'm running 235/75/15 because they are a third the price, narrower, don't look tiny, and tires and wheels weigh right at 50lbs each. They also lower the vehicle about an inch.
