Dual Electric Fans were the best mod I have done so far. For the 4.3l, it made a big difference. Cost less than $200 for the whole get up. Real Happy

Is that a fan set up built just for the 4.3L appication, or did you build it up yourself? The only fan set that i could find was around 400

[NEED MORE HP]

It was assembled from (2) hayden electric fans and the relay and wiring harness kit that their book recommended. Was not that difficult. Got everything from PepBoys

Sweet! I have been looking for 4.3 Power upgrades.

yeah you could spend all that money on mods, or you could just drop in a 350 or something, i have a 4.3 its not bad, but its not worth the money to make it better, unless it was in a s-10 fsc is to heavy for v-6

new 5.3 crate engine=$4000
All the mods i can do off that list=$1800

Not to mention that you will be without a truck for weeks while doing the swap

Doesn't sound very cost effective to me

Weeks? Are you having Izzy do it?



:kidding:

I'd figure a week or less to do a swap...

[IronMan2003]

How many of these will work or can get the same thing for a 97 Chevy? (im getting a 4.3L v6 soon also..in a week and a half...) I plan on raising it and I could use all the power I can get back that Im going to loose on running 33s or 35s.....

.....its an automatic..... (eh I'd like a manual but Im not complain when im stuck in traffic or doing somethat that ties up a hand.... I think manual becomes a pain in the butt so I'll just take whatever I get...)

[IronMan2003]

Can someone please reply to it.. I just figured no one will look at it because its a sticky and everyone has allready read it who would know the answer.....

[DemoN]

i'd be happy to help...but i have no real information on the OBS 4.3L.

[IronMan2003]

Dang..... Thats ok.. I was just hoping you knew which ones would work for the obs 4.3Liters....

[HiRev]

Demon where on stillen.com do you see the header for $371? Bad ass truck by the way

[SchmidtChev]

One thing that i found, and i was searching the list but didnt see it, is a Venom 400, it claims to add up to a 25% increase in HP, its like 300$ i think, and it seems to have alot of advantages.

Check it out....

I think that might only make them for the 4.3s up to 98 though

I retract i previous statement, i miss read, though it said 88-02 mods, which would make any sense anyways... i am an idiot

everyone point and laugh, its ok

What do you guys run in the 1/4th with most of these mods?
