    Hey, I’ve been down the rabbit hole for builds. Probably more than most ever will. At this point with a truck new to me I’ve been reconsidering the A. Power addiction problem I have and B. Cost for convenience So, Just curious why people don’t just Whipple from the jump. Approximate #s CAI $400 average long tubes typically run $1,400 (DTC always) needs tune. y pipe w/ cats $1,000 cat back $2,500 L86 intake + TB $350 ($700 ported) Flex fuel kit around $300 tune $650-$1000+ None of this includes install $$ if you’re unable to do yourself. So on the lower side you’ve spent around $6,700 ish. The cost per 1whp is $20.00 on the lowest side. On the, do it for me side it’s upwards of $10k (depending on a shops per hour rate) or $30+ per 1whp brand new whipple kit with tune is around $7,450. Why not spend the extra $750 and put down 450 whp over 320-350? Putting you around $16.00 per 1whp. Just curious.

    Have you done anything to the block? Rods, journals, bearings, or pistons? I wouldn’t be pushing it much past 550 WHP. My first L86 spun 3 rod bearings at the high 500’s. Diamond or Gwatney performance makes a great drop in kit to bulletproof your block to 1000 crank. that being said, if you want to push the HP you need to upgrade your low, high side pumps, get a 30% fuel lobe camshaft and drop in the LT4 injectors.

    You run out of fuel with stock injectors around 550-600 hp without a supplemental fuel source like meth or E85.

    It replaces your intake pump (low side). If you want even more flow you can replace your high side pump to a high flow one. You can get these from GM parts direct or any equivalent site. Search a 2018 Corvette fuel pump. Select any trim that has a supercharger. a company called wildhammer.com sells a kit for injectors, pump and fuel line. goturbo.net has the fuel pump for your tank

    Was caught in a nor’easter. 8” of snow on top of ice was not helpful, even in 4 wheel. Truck slid sideways down a hill and I couldn’t get it to turn the corner. Slid right into trees. I was only going approximately 40 mph. trying to buy it back. Waiting on title.

    Armageddon fuel pump. It does the trick

    - totaled in a snow storm. . . .

    Yes i did. Under vacuum it would pull more HP. Since I’m forced via a Turbo it really doesn’t matter for me.

    Hey guys, So finally got my truck back. Not going to get into the specifics of what's been going on. There are TWO videos on my truck at the following link. I'm focusing on the final dyno video (for now final Dyno, more to come ). Feel free to watch the other {8 minute long one} Ted gives really good advice. FYI** The transmission is not supper happy with the amount of HP/TQ going through it. I will be going back to these guys for a rebuild that can handle the upcoming power goals. Also, in a year or so I will need to rip everything out of the truck since the design isn't optimal, practical or built to last. It was built for a paycheck. That being said.....THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!! .................now. If the link doesn't work here is the url. facebook.com/jannettyracing/videos/491169901779184/ At the end of the day we ended up at 747 whp and 721 tq. When I bring it back we're going to shoot for 1000+. PM if you want more info.

    I’m In New England. It’s the same here. I try to take it inside every night when I get home. I end up going to my local range no-weekly and take a field day once a month to keep them clean. even through difficult gun laws him my state, as long as it’s not in my lap I can keep a number of my SBR’s in my cab.

    Ah copy. I understand. I keep a few go bags too. Especially the KRIS VECTOR (.9mm) under my bench seat. Thank you for your service. I’m retired Navy (medically). You said “Military Medic” Army? you really can’t be too careful these days. Especially with mass shooting nearly every week!

    Beautiful truck!! Out of sheer ignorance, what are these extensive trauma bags for exactly? Are you a first responder or planning on a head on collision with the local track and field team?

    @Denali34 thank you! @kenny_r I hear that. I was hesitant to badge it. I was on the fence for two paths. De-badge or get something unique. The GMC Kodiak is a unique truck trim and not many people swap into a bigger engine. (That I’m aware of). I figured I’d go the unique badging way. I am considering getting all new badges so they’re uniform.

    Here are a couple of quick Videos. A warm start, some driving and a boost gauge video. Once I get the final tuning and tweaking done I will start some more comprehensive videos. Launching, racing etc. Warm Start: Boost Gauge and turbo spooling: Short Driving video:

    I stand by it every time. Wait till Black Friday. Go onto Whipple's website and purchase a Whipple kit w/programer ($5,500). Spend a weekend installing and BAM you have yourself a completely different animal.
