Yes, stock injectors and stock fuel pump. The flex fuel injectors flow very well, no need to change and the fuel pump will support up to 800hp.

I purchased the kit directly from Whipple, it includes the HP Tuner kit and credits. The towing will have to wait until I take my 5th wheel out of storage. If you ever decide to install this kit, come to CT and use my Tuner.

Lets put it this way, if you are traveling at 30mph and hold it WOT, it has so much pull it is a little un-nerving. Scared the wife today when I did it....lol.

I can't wait to slap one on my 16 regular cab

The entire price was around 900.00. That included 3 hours of fine dyno tuning, transmission remapping, changing the shift points for towing, and welding in 2 bungs on the exhaust for his dyno. I spent so much time with a few issues in the beginning because of trying to tune by email. My guy mine done in one day and it runs awesome. I know one thing for sure, going up route 8 through CT, the highway as you probably know is hilly, going up 3 and 4 % grades, the trans never shifted out of 6th. Pulls the gears so much better.

You will not regret it. Just make sure to find a very reputable tuner that basically makes his own tune. Keep us updated.

Has the blower done anything significant to empty daily driving gas mileage?

Yeah, that isn't why people buy HD trucks...but just curious...

I get around 10-13  mpg around town, and on a trip to upstate NY without a proper tune and driving 65 mph on the interstate with the cruise control on, my "best" was 18.3 mpg. I am not seeing that now a days because I can't keep my foot under control, this truck is so much fun to drive now.

The pulley is the one they include, it is a 3.625", and yes, 6ish boost.

 

I took the truck for a performance run to see what my boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge were reading. From a rolling start going about 25 mph accelerating  to 110 mph, my boost was just a tick under 10 psi and fuel pressure was approx. 65 psi.

I'm getting the same numbers with a 6.2L 2wd 1500 and only 6psi, so you're doing good.

Biggerdog01, nice work, brother. I've been moving and we'll very busy.....and they said it couldn't be done! Great job of not being deterred....

 

What's the latest and greatest, today? Don't mean to be nosy.....around $7.5k in total? And give me feedback on your thoughts when towing & issues. 

I'm towing near capacity. Truck definitely has nuts. But I avoided the mountainous grade (Hahaha!) On my 1300 mile journey. 

 

Get her done......

Wow.  Very impressive.  I saw the Whipple Dyno sheet from Whipple and I salivated so much with 400/400 rear wheel claim, that two weeks ago I ordered a 2019 Crew Cab Denali HD.

 

I spoke with with Dan @ Whipple in Fresno, CA and Dan said the CA CARB EO # is coming within 60 days for the 2019 model which is the same as the previous years.  2020 may/should/does have a new 6.6L Gas Engine with direct injection.  I am not sure yet exactly but you get the idea it is a different animal possibly with a new ECM.

 

I live complete opposite of where you live in CT.  I live in the Northwestern part of Los Angeles County here in California.  2-3 hour drive from the Whipple shop.  I want to drive out there, meet them, buy a kit and return home to install it myself.  You have inspired me and have given me confidence in the part throttle operation.  The E78 ECM has scared me ever since I ordered the truck I came home to find out it has this ECM and people do not know how to tune it or say it is very different.

 

I read of two guys installing Whipples or Magnachargers and being unhappy with the part throttle surging or something and taking them off and selling them.  Then last night I found this post after reading some things on HPTuners (since whipple uses HPTuners).

 

The truck I ordered is this:

 

2019 4WD Denali HD CrewCab Short/standard bed 6.0L Gas L96 CA Emissions 

TriCoat White ($1,095)

Jet black interior (don't like the Cocoa black combo)

VYU Snow plow prep package (deletes the sliding rear window, also deletes UG1 homelink) comes with the strongest stiffest front springs and torsion stuff

Z71 (hill descent)

Alternate step package (-65?) Round steps so much better looking on the website i hope i like them or they go in the trash

Dual battery

High idle Switch

220Amp alternator (included in VYU but i would have clicked anyway)  Also included in VYU is TRW the lamp beacon wiring and switch

Engine block heater

20" chrome cast aluminum wheels with I think 265/60R20 tires.  I want to say they are 32.5" x 10.4" wide stock for those of you who speak Standard measurements

Interior protection package (plastic interlocking floor liners)

I did not get any tow things in my bed and I also did not get the large Ford SuperDuty tow mirrors.

 

They tell me GMC accepted my truck order this week and the estimated production date is the first week of February.  I should have her at the end of Feb or beginning of March.

 

$63,620.00 MSRP.  Ill pay a little less but OOOOOMMMMPH I never thought I would live the day I bought a brand new truck with this MSRP.

 

And now $6,700.00 on the Whipple...

 

Wife hasn't said no yet...
