How did you get that tach to work so well? I also have a 350 tbi in my 87 chev with the same sunpro tach but it jumps around quite a bit and won't rev past 4 grand? Any solutions?
Yo man i was just wondering what kind of trannys these trucks came with stock.cus i bought a jet chip for 92 k1500 but made my 90 gmc sierra idle extemely high and just wondering if it was the same motor and trans
I'm running the older style Gibson shorties (The new ones are are shaped a little different, if I remember right). Mine are sprayed in VHT FlameProof header paint, which is flaking off, so I'd just leave them bare or wrap them. Wrap works nicely, I use it on my car's Borla header (Subaru).
There are tons of header designs out there, each has its advantages and disadvantages. My #1 complaint with mine is that I can't change the spark plugs without pulling them partially off.
For what it's worth, I'm rebuilding my mother's '95 Suburban K1500 350 this winter, and when it goes back in, we're going to try out a set of Flowtech mid-length headers and the crossover pipe to match, with a Flowmaster 70 series big block muffler to keep it tame on roadtrips. I'll be interested to see how those fit.
i have the flowtech headers on my moms 1992 chevy stepside there great but the paint was wore off quick and the second bolt on pass. side i had to hold the header out and bolt it in slowly otherwise the bolt got stuck on the pipe that sucked but otherwise there good mine were only a 100 but now there more for some reason since oreilly auto parts took over checkers
@737LUVR buy header plugs it still might not make it much easier but it did on mine.. plus they hold up to the heat of the headers better I actually had an electrode fall out of my one plug we think it was from the added heat
I got a 94 1500 and i am putting flowtec headers on it. the truck started out as a slow 4.3L and I recently blew the tired v6 so i did the swap and now have a 350. I also am in auto body in college and I took care of what rust I did have and prevented the rest. I am just finished whith a b&m shift kit and the thing shifts so hard that i get rubber half way through second. also underdrive pullys and a cam will do for this summer of spending. im just a poor college kid cardomain= arcticlover2007
yeah, i love it. the color is actually a color called torch red. the code is 4228 on the chevy color list from 1994. i did all of the work myself.
when you rebuild the top end, i suggest you go ahead and have it re-ringed. trust me on this one. i have seen them blow the whole bottom end apart when somebody does a top end rebuild.
is it true dualed? i am just asking because i have a true dual setup with headers and super 44's, and it sounds nothing like yours. mine idles a little lower too. at about 500 RPM to be exact lol
Unfortunately, not true duals. When this was made I had stock manifolds. She idles a bit lower when fully warmed up, 500 sounds right. In the video, it's a cold start/idle, then partially warmed up idle/rev.
I'll get another clip soon, I just bolted on a set of Gibson shorty headers yesterday. Lots more torque! >:)
good deal. i like gibson headers. they do a pretty good job. i have hedmann long tubes, and let me tell you, that sucker screams!! sadly i dont have a sound vid on here, but i do have a walk around. you should check mine out. but yeah, i noticed an increase in touque in mine as well ^_^
Mine still isn't quite as loud as I'd like it to be, but it keeps the neighbors happy. When I bought it a year ago it had open manifolds (crossover pipe had rusted out) and was loud as crap! Didn't sound that great though. When I get the cash, I'll go for true duals, but for now, I'm stuck with single-in/dual out setup.
thats awesome man. i put a set of Dart heads on mine and it has a small cam. an RV cam actually. but its so damn strong though lol. my throttle body is a factory stocker, but it has a spacer and a cold air intake. my tranny is a new 700R4. just put it in a few months ago. trust me, when you get it true dualed, you will be one happy sumbitch lol
