Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Lol ok I'll stick to mine ZZ performance claims 9 second GPs how much you need to invest to get to that point I'm not sure but it sure strikes my interest, so I'm driving up there on the 12th to see what they can do for me I may stretch my budget a bit if they give me a good price, but he said a supercharger wouldn't happen because their HP tuners only support up to 05 software so idk what he has in mind for me.

9 seconds? :th_nervous: Break out FAR more than 2500
 


as far as the tune, if you get an 05 pcm, you could tune it. only downside i have heard is the gas gauge reads backwards.
 


EFI Live is the only programmer I have. Before I got my car tuned I hooked it up to see if it could even scan my car and it can scan it! And I can change all my gauges to read backwards! So of course having some since I thought rmmm I bet I could fix that problem! SOOO once I got the 05 PCM put in and tuned I hooked up EFILive and BAM! Fixed! Sorry if no one else has used EFILive...and no one else has came up with it!

2500 paying someone else to do it is not going to get you that far.. I would get a set of wrenches/sockets and use this forums as your new home.. Plenty of knowledgeable people around to guide you through anything. Also start reading the thread above and purchase a Haynes manual to become familiar with the car you have.

I agree.

Plus it's a good feeling to do your own work...:th_thumbsup-wink:
 
Don't get a Haynes manual, get a real repair manual. I have the three piece gm handbook and it is 10,000X more detailed and useful and I picked it up used off of ebay for 35 dollars shipped.
 


Well heres the verdict I read up on a few different things I'm very busy with my work schedule and it's the only thing I have to drive so I went to ZZ performance and this is it:

Wizaired Cold Air Induction System
SeriesIII duct
K&N filter re-0870 fileter
ER Ratio Rocker Arms
HV3 Velocity Inkake Insert
Water Pump Underdrive Pulley
4T65e Shift Kit
Dextron VI Transmission fluid swap
304 Stainless Power log
180 thermostat w/thermostat gasket
with install totaled to $1852.70

Car sounds much more agressive and much more responsive I was told short of a turbo that was all they could do, except exhaust which I wouldn't see gains from unless I had the turbo that was it, we talked about the PCM and the gas gauge issue he said something about swapping out the fuel cannister back to the 05 style or something and to hold off on exhaust until I got the turbo w/intercooler, which with the injectors, the air to air intercooler, and the turbo itself he said I should see at least another 140HP, with install for right at $5000, but thats assuming that 05 PCM fix works.
 
Man their labor must really be high. That's a **** ton of money for what you had done/installed. All of that except for the pulley and the rockers i could have done for you in a few hours.

Did you dyno it to see how much hp you gained ?
 
i love how half the stuff you bought you didnt even need. you really should have installed all that stuff by yourself so you knew how to work on your car when you break it.
 


LS4 has a shorter crank..balancer to fliywheel..5.3 won't work unless you swap cranks & that may cost more than tha 5.3 itself

Tha duct for that intake looks like crap & at 200 bills..what
