2nd (next) 6.2!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I no longer own my lifted 08 Sierra Denali, was a nice truck.

 

I'm picking up a new 2010 Cadilliac Escalade EXT.

 

Since I have an off road truck already, I am going to leave the Escalade at near stock height on the factory 22's and stock tires.

 

I will not, however, leave it stock, can't do that!

I plan to install full length headers, American Racing, Kooks, or?? It will also get a Magnaflow cat back.

Next is a cold air intake system and finally a tune off my Diablo Predator. I plan to get a semi-custom tune for it like I did in the past.

Haven't decided on which intake yet.

Following these mods will either be a mild cam or a supercharger or perhaps both, then some mo-better custom wheels.

Gonna be fun!

I'd go with American Racing long tube headers.

 

 

No doubt, they are good tubes. I have a set on my H2, been there for 2 years. They were easy to install, and have been trouble free since then.

post pics of all of your rides... i hate toyota but that tundra you have is awesome i remember seeing pics of it.

 

 

OK, OK Pics of all rides, Man you guys are demanding! :cool:

 

Toyota Tundra has a home made 5-link coil over with a Dana 44 high pinion sitting on 12" stroke King shocks. Both axles have 4.88's and ARB lockers. The rear is custon also. Homemade flipped shackles and custom springs with 14" stroke Bilstien 5150's. Chevy brakes, headers, supercharger, ARB bumper and other stuff. Rock rails, rear bumper thing and roof rack is also home made.

 

H2 is all modded out, but I am trading it on the EXT.

 

No pics of the Escalade, the dealership is out getting it today, it was 250 miles away, but here's a pic of what it will look like:

 

Oh, the Harley isn't a truck (obviously) but sounds like a cammed chevy!

Dont expect the tranny to last long if you dont beef it up when adding a charger.

 

Superchargers are living on these engines trouble free all over the country!!!

What specific information do you have regarding the 6 speed 80 series with a blower? I have spoken with a host of high end modification facilities over this and am not hearing that at all.

 

Were you floating conjecture perhaps?

Let us know about the gains you see from those headers and exhaust

 

 

Sure, wilco...

 

I did the same mod on the 6.0 H2. Gains there were questionable...but...

 

When you add 30 or so horsepower to a 6500 pound boat, you can't really see (feel) it all that much.

 

The hummer pulled better after the mods, but gas mileage remained a very dissapointing 11.3 and required higher cost 93 octane.

 

I have heard and will agree, if you buy a hummer, just "shut up and buy the gas!"
