You won't gain a bunch with an exhaust so I agree. Keep the stocker on there or at least something quiet. V6 GM motor sound like ass without a turbo on em. LOL

Honestly I'm not sure on the smaller and/or older trucks. On the new body style trucks we share the same PCM with the Vettes and F-bodies so we use HP Tuners or LS1 Edit. The small trucks/SUVs use a different PCM and there is not normal tuning for them so I'm not sure what you can do. I'd check...

The oil and tuning are the hardest parts.. How you're going to get fuel and timing all corrected is paramount.

Not yet. We're finishin up the Z71 (going back to N/A duty with a new high compression motor, heads/cam etc) before I can put the 02' in the shop. All the parts are paid for an ordered and the motor is almost finished at the machine shop so hopefully the transformation will start in the next...

Wait till you see what he does next... He's got something lined up and by the time he is done his HP will be higher than those TQ #s. ;)

You're not talking about Chri's car are you? The 20's are throwing me off but he does have a Dutt. built V8 out of Bob Reiger's old Chevy.

How about a 12sec 4-Runner? He runs mid 12s last I saw. 12sec TRD/N2o 4-Runner :)

I believe he is running 13psi with Meth.

That was dumb. You said the word nitrous... Everyone knows nitrous is MUCH cheaper than any form of FI when comparing initial purchase price. :D Nitrous/Heads/Cam is a tried and true way to a great 1/4mile. But we all know what happens when the bottle runs out or you get tired of refilling...

Yup, us GM turbo guys gotta stick together no matter what body the turbo is in. :) I don't have a website setup right now. I am going to put one together soon to showcase the build up of the Silverado and have a nice place for people to get info on the GMC as well. Until then you can...

Ohh forgot to mention. The reason he was catching up so quick is my intake tube back near the turbo kept popping off after the 1/8th so I had to lift. That's why you see a 12.9@94mph LOL That was a horrible 2.1 60' also. The 1/8th mile times were 8.0@86.2mph

My suspension fix was to crank down the torsion bars up front and by doing so lower the front 1.25". Worked like a charm and now it launches smooth as a baby. On all my 12.3@109-110mph runs I was getting 1.80-1.85 60's and it was perfect. :) The truck starts to creep forward once I hit about...

Usually it's no problem at all. I just strayed off the beaten path and did my own thing. I only had lag issues at a dead stop. Once rolling boost came on pretty quick. At the track it wasn't an issue either. http://my.starstream.net/f8lpony/F8L%204x4%2012.95@94%208psi%20launch.wmv

Almost everyone I know ends up putting an intercooler on the STS kit and sees great gains. On low boost it's true you don't usually need one but you CAN benifit from one. Or the meth injection. Lag also isn't an issue unless you go big like I did. LOL

Really? LOL I just moved onto a street called Don Julio also. Hahaha

yeah, I drove mine around in all kinds of water and hitting puddles. Now rocks on the otherhand. I wouldn't think hiting a boulder is going to be good. LOL

A puddle like this? Here are some vids they took in the Tacoma http://i.b5z.net/i/u/1473169/f/Video/tacoma4.wmv The other vids can be found here: http://www.ststurbo.com/tacoma_at_the_lake I my experience water is no biggy as long as you're not boosting high without the...

Ohh, I used to race an 87' Mustang GT with a built 351 and S-Trim Vortech, then my 00' T/A had heads/cam, nitrous and a 4400 stall so I am not toally new to moding cars and racing them. Heck I was the only one I knew back in the mid 90s who's daily driver had skinnys on 24/7. LOL

The stock kit uses a 60-1 turbo with like a .68 A/R I believe. On my 5.3L I started of with a GT35 an not IC, just methanol. With my stock 9.5:1 CR and a 3000stall there was a second of lag then BAM! full boost and tire spin city. At 35mph I could punch it and the truck would just kick...

Just thought I'd give a big thanks to Razor for his help in setting me up with a Alky kit for my rear-mount turbocharged 4x4.. I added an intercooler due to extreme meth usage at 14psi and now with a light mist it works great on our crappy 91 octane. Just thought you'd get a kick out of...
