I got a hold of some money and want to spend it on the truck. Since the truck is already going to be apart install on everything will probably be cheaper. Im already getting a built block and a high output blower w/ 6lber. What I already have is: 4way chip, valve body, filter kit, flowmaster mufflers, and a 2lber that im going to sell, ground force 1/2 drop, pro sport tonneau, then stereo is already taken care of. What should I get next?
Here is a list of what I came up with:

Monster Box - about $1700

Rims/Tires - about $2700

Full Exhaust[PSP L/Ts, Cats, Midpipes, Bassani Catback] - about $2000

Torque Converter - $1000

Nitrous System - $1000

Throttle Body - $330[BAbolts]

Truck-Tracks - $280

Gears - I dont really know maybe $400??

Slicks - Again I dont really know maybe $800 for slicks and rims??


If you had the mods that I have/will shortly have, what would you get next. Im guessing most of you will say the monster box but maybe not.

 

ANy of those would be great.. BUT

With all your new power you will need traction... With traction you will need bars to stop axle wrapup... The rest is in any order!!

 

Why are you going to get gears are you just going to race it?

 

How about a driver's license?

 

no, it will be street driven most of the time. gears werent originally on the list but i decided to throw them on there. probably wolnt get them.

Theres always a smart a$$ in the group

 

You asked a question and I gave you MY suggestion.

I'm sure others agree that a 15 year old behind the wheel of a 500 HP, 5000 LB rocket is not a smart idea. Especially considering the nature of some of your posts. (I.e. What's the fastest you've been?)

Anyhow, like I said, you asked the question . . .

 

Dude? Your 15??? WOW

Man your parents are crazy!!! You blew up a $30K truck at 15?? Whats for graduation? a Viper? F1? Hell I feel like a low life now...

 

Iam with FlashSVT

 

you guys are right. but what would you guys do if you were in my position. tell your mom that no you dont want all of this stuff and tell her to go buy you a civic? i dont think so. yeah i probably shouldnt be driving a 500hp sport truck for my first car but what are you going to do? if i get into an accident then i guess ill learn my lesson. if its fatal then i guess im sol. but as for that how fast have you gone thread, i dont plan on ever going over 100 for the first year i have my license so dont trip. ill be carefull and yeah ill probably go a little fast here and there but im not stupid. i plan on goin to driving class' and such and i know your all going to say class' cant make up for experience but ill do my best and most of all ill be safe. i learned my lesson about safe driving and how dangerous a car can be from my dad who died in a car accident. trust me ill be safe and drive smart.

 

Dude,

Just be careful. You are our little brother and we wouldnt want to loose you. Especially when you part of a good race team....

 

Why not use the money for a professional driving course?

 

Buy yourself a Playstation and a couple of racing/driving games. No license required.

 

Invest the "money that you got a hold of"

I'm not sure what you could do on the street with all those additional mods that your newly built motor and 6# pulley couldn't do. All that extra power isn't going to do you much good in 'legal' street conditions.

I've been driving for 15 years and the L can still a handful. Be careful. Hate to see you on the news splattered all over the freeway.

 

I agree first a licence

Then get the factory tech transmision, torque converter, and a set of traction bars.

 

do you have a solo license yet? i'm guessing you do. if not, your family could lose everything, in even a small fender bender, in this sue happy society

ps: if my family was offering "anything" when i was a kid, i'd a grabbed it too. My dad told me i could have anything, i could afford, sorry about yours
