This truck inspired me to put a Chopocobra in my 6.2, I ended up going with a 2800 stall converter, my truck rips way harder now with the cam, gonna do 3.73 gears and smaller tires this winter, excited to have a race truck. Glad yours has been just as reliable as mine (I love chomper)
You're definitely spot on with the gearing for these trucks. One thing I will add that is killing your power is having a stock converter in it. I have a 2000 silverado 1500 4x4 that's built to the hilt. It came from the factory with 4.10s, luckily. I have a FTI 2800 stall converter in my 700whp capable Performabuilt 4l60e. The motor is a stock crank, bored .30 over block with flat top pistons running 10.5-1 compression, Texas Speed stage 4 truck cam and a set of nasty 220cc PRC heads with a TBSS intake manifold. Im running 1 3/4" long tube headers with 3" dual exhaust with an x-pipe into 2 Borla XR1's. My rig made 340whp on the dyno through 33s and a worn out 200k mile transfer case being very conservative on the tune. My truck rips but I can watch the fuel guage move when I stomp it. Don't expect to get good fuel economy with a built truck lol
Got a bone stock gmt900 in Highschool, i cammed it, put on headers/exhuast, changed the converter for a 2k stall. With the 6l80 I can run 4.30 gears with 22's and low pros and still run 85 mph below 2300. Also dorman makes a aluminum coolant cross over pipe for the one thats leaking on yours. Took me 15 minutes to change it form hood open to closed
Just ordered my angry elf/chopacobra cam yesterday! Hope to get my 05 Silverado sounding as good as yours next year! Oh and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I have a 08 2500 Chevy with a BTR stage 3 cam with a billet 2800 converter. Totally changed the power on it. Love it, drive it daily and yes I too get comments at the gas station.
love it. i got a 06 cateye with 230/243, .592/.610 112 lsa cam from summit racing. it's their discontinued truck cam and I love it! sounds freakin amazing. I need to go back amd look at your exhaust video for chomper it sounds soooo good brotha
Love that truck! I have an 02 short bed 2wd Silverado, with a rebuilt 5.3, same cam as yours, PRC heads from Texas speed and a LSA supercharger on top! I love it and it runs great! Really enjoy your videos! Thanks!
I have the same truck and same setup. -Camshaft -Headers Pretty much identical Only difference the Chopacabra cam kit is advertised that it will work with the stock converter. That is not the case with my truck. With a different cam it changes your stock engine vacuum pressure which then alters your brake performance. With a cam that size I researched and found out I needed a 2800-3000 stall converter to ensure my brakes would work properly. Ended up getting a built 4l60e with stage 3 shift kit and corvette servo and the 3000 stall converter from Mad Dog Transmissions out of Alpharetta Georgia. Shifts pretty firm but DEFINITELY has wayyyy more performance along with all the other upgrades identical to “Chomper”.
Planing to cam my ‘17 with a BTR stage 2 truck cam and a couple upgrades to go along with it. Going to install 4.56 gears to help turn the 35’s I have also
I said my 60e wasn’t ever giving me problems. Later that year I got to experience the fun on going through 3 rebuilds before I decided to swap it with an 80e
My 2008 gmc sierra has been cammed for about the years and I have never drove my truck and not loved driving it after the car I am running the btr truck Norris and it has been great
I have a 05 Yukon/ converted to Tahoe, Going to be taking engine and trans out for proper cleaning/ re gasket and add the tsp 224 r cam kit with supporting mods, keep the 706s but clean them up and maybe port them, I have a corsa muffler no cats going to be ordering the speed engineering headers 1” 3/4 and y pipe I want to do the l59 injectors so I can run e85 as well oh and my 4l60 is built up to a stage two and going to be adding 40k cooler and a 3200 stall converter hopefully it will rip, it’s a 373 with posi trac will be changing that out for a Detroit tru trac😅🙏🏼💯
Great truck I have a 2005 avalanche that I bought two years old with only 100,000 miles on it. IT'S a garage queen but I would love to do mine like yours thanks for the content.
I have camed my truck is the twin to chopper. I went with the truck Norris cam. Did valve springs push rods lifters the whole 9 yards been pretty good to me so far and I put long two headers on it with 2 1/2 inch pipe into a dual in dual out, black widow, angry housewife, muffler she is loud lol
I have a 2018 6speed that I have been looking to cam but probably with a truck Norris cam was my idea because I do tow my RV so I don’t want to loose to much down low
It’s crazy how much cheaper the Chevy/gmc platform is compared to the ram side. Just in my cam kit alone was 2k and stall was 1600. That’s 3600$ just in camming the truck. Maybe I should have bought a Chevy 😂
Have an 11 avalanche with a truck Norris cam! Love it! True dual straight pipe, no headers yet! But more coming in the summer! Don’t ever sell that truck! 😂❤
my 99 silverado round body has unknown mods pushes through the brakes and stalls alot 4x4 and it rips but recently dropped 2 lifters so i can see whats done to it when i pull the motor in a few weeks
On my 06 I was having starter issues where sometimes it would click and then start.....come to find out the starter just had a loose connection so may be your problem
Got my 2002 gmc sierra 2500 with a 6.0 looking to put a Texas stage 3 in her I’ve got a 4l80e am I still going to have the issue where the rpm drops from 7k to 3k when shifting?
Lmfscrew . Hi i’m Zakk i have a 06silverado 4wheel drive extended cab and my starter grinds when i try to start it can you please tell me what’s wrong with it ? or do you know what’s going on with it ? I’ve had to put 4 starters in that truck 0:02

I think since he always has big tires on his I think a 2800-3000 stall and 4.56s would be the move for his truck
Please don't ever sell chomper
He won’t sell it, he said the 2 trucks he would never sell is chomper and Larry
Unless it's to me😂😂😂😂

I love your vids! Chomper made me fall in love with gmt 800s
i have almost the same setup just have 4:11 gears and built trans the truck has been amazing zero issues also the gears will make it so much better
Not gonna lie, your videos are the reason I wanted a GMT800 GMC! Love it!
I have same setup and done with 4.56 gear and true trac. Extremely happy with it
I can only image now much those helped haha I gotta swap mine

Chomper needs a 6.0 or 6.2. Feel like you'd fall in love with it all over again.
A swap video in the shop would be fire too sounds like a win win
Always enjoy every time you drop a video when I’m bored
I’m gonna take that as a compliment 😅
Just ordered my angry elf/chopacobra cam yesterday! Hope to get my 05 Silverado sounding as good as yours next year! Oh and Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I’m about to buy the same cam what exhaust setup are you running
@ right now I’ve got corsa, with dual out the back, looking to get the speed engineering long tubes soon as well.
I have a 08 2500 Chevy with a BTR stage 3 cam with a billet 2800 converter. Totally changed the power on it. Love it, drive it daily and yes I too get comments at the gas station.

I’m am in process of manual swapping my 2005 4x4 Tahoe and a cam will be next for sure

Really enjoy your videos! Thanks!
I love all these chopper videos right after I get my 03 cateye back from getting cammed like literally 2 days ago😂
I have the same truck and same setup.
-Camshaft
-Headers
Pretty much identical

I'm planning on cam swapping to a 292h comp camp in my 98 gmc k1500. You cam swapping truck makes me want to try it lol
My 2008 gmc sierra has been cammed for about the years and I have never drove my truck and not loved driving it after the car I am running the btr truck Norris and it has been great
Put the choppacobra cam in the v max with the procharger.
I have a 05 Yukon/ converted to Tahoe, Going to be taking engine and trans out for proper cleaning/ re gasket and add the tsp 224 r cam kit with supporting mods, keep the 706s but clean them up and maybe port them, I have a corsa muffler no cats going to be ordering the speed engineering headers 1” 3/4 and y pipe I want to do the l59 injectors so I can run e85 as well oh and my 4l60 is built up to a stage two and going to be adding 40k cooler and a 3200 stall converter hopefully it will rip, it’s a 373 with posi trac will be changing that out for a Detroit tru trac😅🙏🏼💯
I have a 06 cateye and I plan on doing a cam and tune and dynomax bullets with carven tips. That’s the plans but also love chomper and Larry
Great truck I have a 2005 avalanche that I bought two years old with only 100,000 miles on it. IT'S a garage queen but I would love to do mine like yours thanks for the content.
Lol
Love those wheel on Chomper! I have an 07 that I’m in the process of doin the Dod delete with a TSP Stage 2 cam
I have a 6.0L 2500hd 2011
And man if i put the work in like you bro i bet the chop will be like yours bro bro
Great content 🤙🏽
I have camed my truck is the twin to chopper. I went with the truck Norris cam. Did valve springs push rods lifters the whole 9 yards been pretty good to me so far and I put long two headers on it with 2 1/2 inch pipe into a dual in dual out, black widow, angry housewife, muffler she is loud lol
I have a 2018 6speed that I have been looking to cam but probably with a truck Norris cam was my idea because I do tow my RV so I don’t want to loose to much down low
Mud grappler time for Chomper, been too long
I have a 03 suburban with a BTR Stage 2 truck cam. Catless with super10 flow master. Definitely wish I had went with a stage 3 instead
Long tube headers kill starters, heat wrap your headers by the starter.
If you replace the starter, put in a GM gen V Camaro 6.2L starter( with pigtail) and OEM heat shield with attachment bolts. Problems solved
Great video!
Any oil spots on the engine?? Everything holding up well?
I had an issue on a Silverado where it wouldn’t start sometimes, I changed the starter relay and never had any issues again.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. See you in 2025. 🎉
Does anyone know what rims they are I’m wanting to order a set for my cat eye and I can’t find them?
Chopper looking nd sound goods
I just picked up a black 06 sierra single cab basically a baby chomper! I wanna go tsp or btr truck norris!
I plan on camming, not sure what to get yet though
Check out Glenn’s auto performance for that coolant hose there’s does away with that plastic y fitting I got one on my 04 and it’s been solid
my 99 silverado round body has unknown mods pushes through the brakes and stalls alot 4x4 and it rips but recently dropped 2 lifters so i can see whats done to it when i pull the motor in a few weeks
Badass truck. 💯💯
Why not go with a higher stall converter even if its the 2600 trailblazer one and fairly cheap.. I run a circle D 3000 in mine
Love chomped but I miss big betty
Certain gmt800 avalanches and z71 suburbans had factory 4.10 gears that would make for an easier front end gear swap
On my 06 I was having starter issues where sometimes it would click and then start.....come to find out the starter just had a loose connection so may be your problem
I have the exact same truck as chomper mines heads cam intake tb and it’s been through 5 transmissions 😭
Vmax is the one thats was ment to be procharged since its 6.0 factory and 4wd
Got my 2002 gmc sierra 2500 with a 6.0 looking to put a Texas stage 3 in her I’ve got a 4l80e am I still going to have the issue where the rpm drops from 7k to 3k when shifting?
What gear would you go with? 4.10s?
Lmfscrew . Hi i’m Zakk i have a 06silverado 4wheel drive extended cab and my starter grinds when i try to start it can you please tell me what’s wrong with it ? or do you know what’s going on with it ? I’ve had to put 4 starters in that truck 0:02
Might have some bad teeth on the flywheel, or may need to shim the started to mesh better. I’d start there.
@@clardy01 I’ve put shims in it when i put the starter in
@lmfscrew i’m in west ga/al & cammed etc needing gears asap, recommend a shop to do the gears/tune ?
Maaaaaaaaan why’s the plan with the old vortec max just the charger or we thinking a cam in the future too
What tune are you running? I have the same headers and an exhaust
Where’d you get your headliner at and choppers
What turn signals you running?
Need to do the Nissan titan rear glass
Should look at electric fans for chomper
Nah fr
It already has e-fans from the factory
Hey sorry to bother you bro but where you get that camo suede??? God bless you bro🫡
Why didn’t you put the pro charger on chomper that would have been sick
Look into 6L80e swaps.
What number casting heads does it have
Are the subs still in chomper?
4:10 gears next
What gears currently?
Which intake is that sir?
Supercharge The Truck!!!!
I’ve got a 1994 Chevy Silverado and I wanna put a mutha thumpr cam in it from comp cams
Throw some caddy/zl1 reps on chomper
I love tht truck
Get corsa mufflers!!
You should do bucket seats in the back
Not when you got little ones, just not feasible. Could be, but the bench is better for the family
First 😲
