Man that sucks. Two motors gone before the supercharger was even used? Should be a lot more potent with a built 416. Now your going to want to ditch your blower and go procharger F1 lol. Keep us updated.

FYI to anyone with a Whipple I've been in contact with innovators west and they have been working on an 8 rib setup for the ecotecs I will have it as soon as it's available (hopefully with 10% overdrive balancer). Just emailed Whipple to get a quote on all the related pulleys associated with the blower side of things. Should raise the capabilities of the 2.9 setup a great deal. I'll prolly run my 3.625 pulley for a while to get the tune dialed in(that's still almost an inch smaller than what they send in the kit as default) but after that I'll be dropping to a 2.75 or 3" depending on if the balancer I get is 10% or not.

Would love to see a video of this thing off the line once finished. What lift and suspension you running for the 37s? I've got a 6" kit with 35s on 3.42 gears. Would love to go 7-9" on 37s but I tow so wouldn't do that unless I had the Duramax or 4.56 gears and some performance mods on my 5.3l.

I've got an rc 7.5 at the moment which I would not recommend unless you get a set of rcv axles and double cardan shafts front and rear. I think I see an end in sight with my build so I will most likely keep it since I've addressed the most pertinent issues I had with it.

 

Tires are 37x13.5 20 stt pros on stock wheels. I'll be going back down to a 295 60 20 or 35x12.5 next go around but the 37 eat up any terrain even in 2wd

We were able to fit a much larger dual pass ic heat exchanger than whipple sends which I'm pretty pumped about. Specd by fast cody and made by four seasons radiator in Memphis

 

Of course the Black hx is the whipple

 

Also I had bought all the stuff to do the iat breakout but it was included In the kit. Also came with a varimax pump. They were doing wiring today (meth system, fuel pump, ic pump). Still have traction bars and gauges to install then we will be up and running

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      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.
