Check Out My Buddy's Turbo Silverado. Almost Complete!

[bb123]

Before I left for the work assignment here in DC my buddy has been working his ass off on his Silverado for a minute and all the work is custom and just about done at his shop where we are working on getting the rest done when time permits.

 

The dyno has been set but a few things came up and a few minor mods had to be done.

 

Ok, so if you look, the exhaust actually is forward then shoots off the the back. This was all cut, welded and fits nicely in the tight space there is.

 

All the sensors, solenoids, chip are complete. Well, the programmer will be redialed and tuned once the dyno dates are set up. The blow off valve and all that good stuff is done too. The battery is under the rear passenger seat for space sake and the reservoir for all the fluids are in the front of the radiator in seperate custom compartments. The transmission has been redone and is able to handle over 1000 horsepower. There are plenty of other mods but I am tryng to keep this short.

 

This was a test run for him and the shop and we will swap his turbo kit out and put it in mine and then will try to do some really wicked shit the next go round. The plan is in the next 6-12 mo which is on a hush hush session until it;s complete. It'll be bad ass no doubt, even moreso than it is.

 

As far as mine goes, I have my exhaust and intake complete and have a set of corvette heads installed. I'll install the cams and the programmer when I get some time as I am all over the place busy with work and life and pretty much with my hands tied behind my back.

 

After the dyno my buddy is expected to push some SERIOUS horsepower gains soon. Right now, he's talking about buying the 6L chevy and putting some madness under the hood. Then the gains and whatnot will be ridiculous...

 

 

anyhow, let me quit talkin.

 

enjoy the pics.

Tell him not to bother with the 6.0L and go straight to the 6.2L, better compression!!

Better as in more, or better as in less? I thought in forced induction situations you want LESS compression to begin with so that more boost can be fed in?
