I have a k&n intake coming tomorrow and am going to have a ase certified technician friend of mine install it. He is a certified bmw mechanic, so he should have a easy time dropping this in for me right? Also what about a thermostat install, is it tough? Looking to go to 172 tstat if i get the xmetal pcm upgrade

Welcome to the forum, and like Patrick and Mike said you'll love the mods. The K&N is an easy install, as is the thermostat. Just make sure you get all the air out of the radiator after you finish installing...do this by opening the bleeder valve on top of the thermostat housing and then adding coolant into the radiator. Once a stream comes out of the valve close it up and your good to go! Oh and don't forget to get an exhaust as well!
Welcome to the RBC dude. Post some pics of the beast! You will love the sound of the intake but you do need a better exhaust setup....stocker blows!

Welcome to the forum.
The t stat is maybe a 20 min project.I don`t have the K& n but the Volant was a 30 min job.

Welcome to the forum, have fun here.
So far it has taken me 2 years to get my thermostat installed.
I work really slow.:idea:

Welcome, I alreadys did the K & N and the thermostat. Neither one is very hard at all. You do not need any gaskets for the stat because it has a reuseable O ring.

Welcome aboard. When I first got my truck K&N contacted me (through West Coast Viper) and had me bring my truck in so they could do the prototype for the CAI. As a result they gave me one for free and unfortunately it too still sits in the box. I am definately going to have to start driving something else and get these things installed. Good luck with yours. :burnout:

Thats great. BB makes a great setup. Not many of us are fans of the stocker under there. Your gonna love the tone once everything is installed.

V10, we just finished a nice 24x40 carport area with walls on 3 sides so I can get 9 "under cover". The Silverado is in a mini carport so the bed sticks out. Hopefully next year I want to build a 6 car oversized garage so I can put lifts in and house another 12. Time (and the potential sale of the business) will tell. :burnout:
