I'm in the process of building my 2015 Silverado 5.3 and I'm trying to figure out what parts I should get as far as preformence I'm limited on money but I want to start on it

How far are you thinking of going with the mods? Upgraded exhaust? True Dual exhaust? Cold Air intake? Blower? Turbo? Your end result is a big determining factor on where you start. right now the most complete balls to the wall kit i have seen is the Armageddon Turbo kit. Comes with everything you need is included. Including install! $9k. On the other hand, my max mod will be Airaid MIT, Borla exhaust and a BB tune. So, like i said where do you want it to end up?

The sky is the limit! But as Willshire said, what your end goal is determines what would be the best path for you to take in regards to mods. Being limited on budget, as you said I would suggest starting with a cold air intake and tuning. We have our Winstorm line of intakes that there is a 5.3L one available, along with a mail-order tune to go with that. As you add mods down the road we can update your tune. Then add longtube headers later, or if you have it in your budget now. A catback will not gain you on the power side only improve the sound, but the headers will also improve the sound also while gaining power.

 

For "balls to the wall" I think this truck covers that!

Thanks for the input guys I'm saving up for headers at the moment and surprisingly I was pulled on by a guy in my club and all he had at the moment was a catback exhausts , even tho I had launched on him. We both have dropped 2015 silverados only difference was that mine was the exhaust

You guys do mail order tunes on the new LT series? What mechanism do you use to accomplish this? AutoCal?

ARH

I love the sound of borla exhaust but would rather have performance of arh headers with 5.3 denali but dont have the funds for exhaust and headers. Could i do electronic cutout or something else to get the sound?

We sure do! We have our own device called the Mycalibrator and our own software which allows us to create a much more in depth tune.

Good job fellas. In the video, I noticed the truck surging off the line in first gear. My truck sometimes does that but only if I try to do a boosted launch. I believe that is the trq mgmnt kivking in. Have you guys revised the tune to eliminate the rocky launch.

Thanks! That is actually more of the stability control as you cannot turn it off completely, the truck was gaining and losing traction. Kind of like a 4WD wheel hop. Our calibrator worked a long time on dialing in the adjustment for the torque management to keep the drivetrain happy while still being able to put it down when you hammer on it!

 

BTW... Stay tuned for more from this truck this summer :flag:

I don't think the 9k price includes install, just for the kit

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
