    i am defiantly out of my comfort zone, i have an 05 silverado ss with about 220k on it now its got piston slap pretty bad, still runs like a monster but you can here it and well this deal was way to good to pass up, 

     from what i understand the heads on the 6.2 are not compadible with the ss intake so i was thinks head swap but with what ?   

    also i like to look of the holley intake  good or bad choice,

    and cam texas speed seams to but what most prefer, 

    would like to see if possible to build a 700 horse monster,

    my first ss was an 03 arrival blue dummy me traded it in for a crew cab 03 1500hd that well was not such a smart idea, then well after 3 other trucks including an 08 2500hd gmc crew cab with a duramax i traded it in for a 05 ss silver birch, i loved that truck but life had another story for it, had to sell when all vehicles were lost in super storm sandy. that truck was in land in storage unit need a work vehicle, i ended up getting a 2500hd red sold it to a friend for a 04 2500hd silver birch with an 8100 and allison trans but it blew a brake line scared the crap out of the wife. she would not get in it or let me put the kids in it so it went, to cut it short i have a 16 dodge ram 2500 hd crew cab cummins the wife got me so i really cant complain, but i would like to locate a replacement, that is never going to leave again,,, 3rd time will be the charm.

    i have pics of most of the truck i have had.
