1977 Silverado Crew Cab.

Lol no kidding! This kitchen job is taking forever! Luckily it looks like we'll have countertops week after next and the kitchen itself will be DONE! Then I just have to install the floors and I can get to work on the truck...
 
I just cant help it! If i wouldn't have come across a good deal on a roller cam like i did, i dont know if i would keep it. And if there wasnt now a good $1000 fuel injection option out there (fitech EFI), I dont know if i would keep it. So you can thank greg72 and fitech for the keeping of the big block! I really think its going to be a sweet setup. That small roller cam with the 4bbl EFI on top should make for a god running motor! I doubt it will be anything over 350hp and 400ft.lb but honestly, my '12 sierra is factory rated at like 315hp and 325ft.lb and i use that as my bench mark. That thing has never left me wanting for more! And it still has all the stupid factory settings in it! So i think that if i can get an honest 350hp/400ftlbs i'll be quite happy.

I just cant wait to get it to the point where i can drive the wheels off of it!

Speaking of wheels, or moreover, tires. So i ended up not being able to get the sweet deal i wanted at discount tires for the duratracs. THey were about 4th on my list of most wanted tires anyway. So as of today i'm pretty sure that im going to end up getting these mickey thompson baja atz p3's. I think they are super bad ass and should suit the needs of the truck pretty good. Plus they look amazing if you ask me! And i like the whole old school factor of mickey thompsons on a truck that is already old school.

The other ones i have had in my dreams forever are the TOYO MT. I think they are bad ass but maybe a bit over done? I dont know. Im pretty sure i'll go with the Mickey's.

I've had quite a few different tires on my trucks and a used set of toyo mts is my all time favorite. They look awesome, were quiet, wore good, and good traction.
 
The Mickey ATZs are badass. I had them on my Tahoe and was never left wanting more. Great choice :waytogo:

As for fitech, seems that it's pretty awesome unless you have a crazy motor.

I was watching an episode of Hot Rod Magazines show "Road Kill" on youtube once, and they where doing a show where they put on of those bolt on TBI injector systems on a car. They where having some performance issues with the TBI system, and after some dyno-testing they concluded that the bolt on TBI systems do not work well with dual-plane intake manifolds. They went out and bought a single-plane intake manifold, and the TBI bolt on system made much more Horse Power.

Awww Mannnn! thats a lot of work. There are about 20+ episodes of Road Kill on youtube. I believe the kit was a FAST EZ-EFI set up, which was put onto Fryburgers 1970 Super Bee. If someone really wanted to find it...they could.

Roadkill is up around 50, and I have watched every one. I don't recall them doing such a test. I watched a few roadkill garage before I asked for the link.
Not trying to be a D!ck, just want to see what they were testing and the results.
 
Story on the sniper goes that holley tried to buy the fitech setup and they said no so holley did a copy cat unit. I have been doing a lot of research and following lots of people running them.
