Ok, I'm sorry because I might be getting a little ahead of myself. I'm just pumped up right now, some things I just ordered for my pickup truck were delivered today, soooo.....

This is what I'm about to accomplish on this coming Saturday...

I have -
Summit racing 8mm (270 ohm) sparkplug wires (red to match my truck)
Bosch double iridium sparkplugs
L.E.D headlights
Airaid MIT (modified intake tube) and synthetic high flow air filter

Here's what the Airaid MIT looks like

I still need to get to the auto store for dielectric grease for the plug wires and some anti-seize lubricant for the plugs.

I'll update with before and after pics once I put everything on my truck
I couldn't wait to get into this stuff lol

I installed the Airaid MIT/filter and L.E.D headlights tonight

Here's the stock air plenum after I removed it, what a piece of crap with all those stupid noise baffles causing turbulence and resistance

Synthetic high flow air filter, it is washable and reusable

I've only started the truck and revved it up a bit, no driving tonight I'm drunk, started drinking as soon as I got home from work. There is a noticeable quicker throttle response and nice deep sound around 1800-2200 rpm. I'll see how she drives in the morning when I'm not drunk.
Pretty happy with it so far, easy peasy to install, took about 25-30 minutes.

L.E.D headlights

Kind of a pain in the ass to install these, Chevrolet engineers did not make it simple to change the bulbs lol. I had to pull my grill off and remove each headlight assembly to get to the bulb. Pain in the ass putting the headlight assembly back in too. Took about an hour to install both sides. Mostly happy with these, they're blindingly bright. One side has a faint blueish tint to it though, not happy about that, oh well.

I'll get to my plugs and wires tomorrow night. I've had a long day from work today, I've been drinking. I'm ready to smash a couple pieces of leftover cold pizza and go to bed
