You can check build thread. But it is bolt on. The race core intercooler was 3 days worth of grinding the denalingrill but other than that yeas bolt on. You still need
Tune
Spark plugs
3bar map
Boostcontroler
Exhaust.
550 or a little more at 12psi and it can go more I made over 600rwhp but that is not advisable this is on the 5.3l.
Lt4 injectors and pump are cheap but don't net much more. Low side fuel pump on top of all that and 700-800+ are all doable with a good tune. Meaning you can go less power say 700 and e85 stay in safe fuel.levels and make great power.
Power is easy on these motors issue is trans and torque management. It's a tune all in itself.but I would be happy to send you a free tune or 3.

Hi welcome to the forum. Unfortunately some people here have discouraged 1SLOW1500 from participating in the forums, so he is no longer here to help with turbo questions. You will have better luck on Performance Trucks .net or LS1tech getting the help you need with tuning.

you can still review all of slow1500's post he posted lots of gems of knowlege left behind before leaving, its too bad we have so many smeagle's up in this mofo

75 turbo might be a bit large for the fuel system  , i guess you won't be going full tilt on it.  i'm still studying the whole boost set up and getting parts..  LS1 tech is a good source, while Perftruck .net is a bit slow on activity lately and lots of disinformation on there..

Yeah I hear you on that and I appreciate your reply it seems like people get mad when other people try to explain something. And if they're right they would rather just get rid of the people that know more than they do. I tuned it about 4 different times I actually am making progress it's just on the gen-5 GM's there is so many tuning tables that open up but I also have HP tuners Believe it or not SCT derive advantage 3software actually offers more tables and part meters for tuning

If you buy the On3 kit, ditch the oil evacuation pump and tap into the oil pan (just below the rail) or the timing cover for a gravity drain (-10AN size, no smaller). The pump is unreliable. This prevents it from being a complete "bolt-on" but do you want easy or do you want reliable?

Thinking about buying one of these kits for my 15 Sierra to help pull my toy hauler. Just curious how this affects fuel milage in regular driving. The price of fuel these days is ridiculous.

yeah the 2500's with  6.0 motors are the best platforms to tune on.  go for it, pull the f***'n trigger!  check the build section on here you might find some other ideas

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
