So I recently had some mods done and thought I would share the results.

 

BTR 220

Kooks headers/green cats

E85 Sensor

Magnaflow catback

 

I wont even bother posting a sound clip; the magnaflow literally makes it quieter then stock (engine noise is way up). I could hardly believe it, because when I ran long tubes and corsa sport it was insanely loud. Stupid loud..

 

I should mention that I have 33" 10 ply LT tires that weigh roughly 70 pounds each. Which is why the numbers are low. Truck was dynoed with e40-e50; with 93 it only made 10-15 less hp. I was told it was dynoed in 5th. Not sure how that works though, as my my tires are only rated for 112...

 

Overall I'm quite pleased; gained roughly 100 hp/ 100 ft/lbs at 5500 and gobs more up to 6500 (which the truck now shifts at)

That’s awesome! Great numbers for a cam swap. 
 

So you didn’t put that crazy intake on?

 

What lifters and rods did they put in?

 

How does it pull off the line? Up top?

No I decided to not put the msd on. Davenport didn’t think it would make any extra power.

 

They put in GM performance lifters, and btr chromoly rods.

 

The truck feels pretty good down low, better actually. Pulls strong up top too.

 

Hey, what oil are using? Davenport put in driven di40 and I don’t know if I have to stick with this oil, or if I can use something else. 
 

driven di40 is a racing oil and is only good for 5-7000 kms.

Just put in any 0W40 or 5W40 oil, it's going to be just fine.

 

It's just a camshaft swap, it doesn't need specific racing oil.

I use Amsoil 5w30 Signature series and Amsoil filter. Strange how they told you to use that race stuff

They Just got back to me, looks like I can use any 5w40.

 

Im thinking Pennzoil, but it doesn’t specify a drain interval like it does with the dexos rated oil…

Here’s another dyno showing the difference between 93 and e45. Not a huge difference but the truck feels way quicker using e85..

Was dynoed in 4th

 

Regretting I didn’t do the intake manifold. Looking at getting btrs truck intake now. Doing a gear swap, and potentially the drive shaft

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
