Im sure window tint will increase horsepower by about 20%... Anyone know of any shops who do custom tunes in San Diego? Thanks

Drop Shackles
He wants performance...When you are lower to the ground you reduce drag which in turn increases performance??
Anything else?
seen how its a 4x4 and its not getting s/c cammed and fully built, lowering the rear isnt going to do anything performance wise

Reduced body roll, better weight transfer, etc.Originally Posted by gwhunter350
It was just a suggestion...take it for what its worth and move on.
How bad is a cam change on these trucks? Is it like a traditional SBC? So a tune would be the best bang for the buck... Thanks

Its really easy to change a cam. But when you buy a cam and springs and tune you will have killed your budget.Originally Posted by Twiztedmods
Get a custom tune and either long tube headers or a looser torque converter.
