Hi before stepping way out try these mods. Not like SC but if You are like me I needed a little more power and low end aceleration and got it. Plus about 1.5 MPG.
1)Cold air intake
2)Helix power tower throttle body spacer
3)ProFlash programer - it offers perf. mode, rv/tow mode., stock, and economy mode. I've tried all except economy which i will do soon, the programmer said it is not worth using that mode unless you are taking a long trip and then it will be a big help. I'm running perf. mode and it runs quicker. All these except stock do away with torque management control problem. I do not have all those weird done shifts and up shifts.
4)True duel exhaust. cut pipe at cats eliminating the x pipe and go with ?
(my choice was 2-40 series flowmasters with 3" all the way out from cats, except when I got to axle I had to drop to 2 1/2" to get over axle with 2 pipes. Which made Flowmaster tech happy.
5)I have ordered headers that will be jet hot covered to hold done engine compartment heat.
6)I'm checking into Granetelli MAF.
7)Bypass coolant to throttle body. Any good suggestions on doing this without buying all the kits You see?
8)Checking into 160 degree thermostat. Does H2 need this. It helped my truck but 2 totally different rigs. Need advice as to who i should get this from?
9)If Your a drive it a little guy like I do as I have a different every day driver and building it to compete in shows as I am (I know BO BO) If I want to go offroad I have good friends to let Me ride with them and I'm speaking of the people on this forum I'm sure would let me tag along on an outing. What every melts a guys butter it is your hard earned money. I'm looking at electric cooling fans. Do not use if offroading as I have been warned already on this site. Also let Me know what brand and model # I should use. I have used flex-a-lite in the past. I think KenP may answer this one.
You will be absolutely surprised how the beast will run!!!
Do the first 4 items first as they are the quickest to do.
I'm acually having problems with getting MAF as 05 models software is all new and they do not have a MAF to work yet. If you know different let me know. This was the same problem with programer. It just came out this month. I do not think Hypertech even has a programer ready yet for 05 H2.
All this is stuff that I did to My 99 Silverado with 5.3L If I took all the crap out of the bed and tool box no telling what it would do. It is a 2 wheel drive and I have the biggest tires I can get for it and i can smoke the tires for as far as I feel like it. It has HP's.
Hey if anyone sees anything I may want to try different please let Me know. I have a plan but it is flexible. Please You veteran's and guru's step up and fine tune my plan before I get our new member off in the wroung direction if you feel there is something new I do not know about, if you feel that may be happening
PLEASE HELP!!!! make sure We go in the right direction.
Thanks Very Much
Rick
