Looks sweet guys. Even the red one. LOL I really dig the wheels on the red ss. Sweet Choice!

Thats what she said!

I'm about 2hrs north of the bay area. I'll cruise down if you guys want to gtg.

Poor Grill. LOL We need to see some pics of your newly restored flight tested griller.

Thats Insane!

Looks Good Bro!

The Disel Sound was kinda cool though. Image at a stop light next to a viper or something. And as you leave him at the light all he can hear is a disel and some black smoke. The viper would be WTF just happened. LOL

I just rememberd there was a show on TV where they dropped a Duramax and Allison in a Chevelle SS. It had custom turbo, intake, exhaust, tune, injectors, and fuel pump. They had it run against a Lambo Gilardo and a Viper on the 1/4 and it hosed them both. It was cool to watch. I don't remmber the e/t tho sorry. Been quite a while ago. I wanna say it was on pimp my ride of all the shows in the world to have it on. Look it up its worth the watch!!!

I have an 06 GMC Disel with the 6 speed and absolutely love it. With a CAI, Exhaust, Injectors, and a Edge Chip. It makes a ton of power and towing a trailer with a 68 camaro on it, flat ground, 75mph I was getting average 19mpg. I have gotten up to 26mpg at 75mph on the freeway on a 200mi run. They are a lot of fun to drive and to feel 8,000lb launch hard like the camaro or the ss is amazing. It's a different kind of power that is fun to play with. I like turning the chip up at a stop light, some kid in a focus with his window down near the exhaust. Well i'm sure you know the rest. Nothing like eating coal. LOL :evil:

I have those on my truck. I can post pics if you need them to convince you more. haha

Oh yeah. How is that meth kit that STS sells with their kit? Is it worth it? Do I have to worry about the meth and the aluminum heads? I remember when I raced we used to have problems with the methanol and the aluminum over time.

Can you e-mail me some pics sometime of how you did your return line. Sounds like the better way to go. I was planning on running 5-6psi to 10-12psi and being able to switch it with the greddy boost controller. That was always my idea from the start and it was something sts said would work fine. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys for all the insider info. I will talk to Spoolin and CHPspecial and see what they reccomend. Here is the kit w/options I am looking at. Base Kit Boost Gauge & AEM Wideband 5-6psi Wastgate Spring 50mm Standard BOV 44# Injectors MSD Booster Pump GT67 Turbo Upgrade (says good for up to 600rwhp) which should be enough for now. LOL j/k Intercooler w/larger A/R Turbine Housing Dual Stage electronic boost controller 5-15psi So far it looks like the kit covers everything you guys reccomend. Except for the tranny mods. How hard is it todo the tranny mods yourself? My dad has a friend that retired and sold his shop so maybe he can give me a hand.

I live by Chico. About 1.5/2hrs or so north of Sacramento.

I live in HOT ASS nor cal so a intercooler is a must anyways. I was going for injectors and a turbo upgrade. As far as ET Goals I dont have any really as I doubt we will see the track much. 12's would be nice I suppose. Anything more might be too much for a daily driver in a small town. LOL j/k They were going to send the tune on a predator tuner and I was going to take it to their STS dealer about 30min from me for some fine tuning on the dyno. I talked to their dealer but it is 2500 more for them to install in instead of me. I'm not woried about the install. Ideas, Reccomendations, etc are always welcome. Thanks for the input.

Good Question. LOL I've never done any tranny work except swaps. Guess it might be time to learn!

Been in some serious talks with the guys over at STS about a kit from my truck. But thought I would see if anyone else had views on the kit before I made the purchase. I rode in a 02 5.3L lifted with 38" and we chased and caught a Porsche Cayan on the freeway yesterday with this beast. I am truly impressed with the kit. Also I dont know if I can trust my local tranny shops. Who do you guys reccomend? Dan www.ststurbo.com

Woooo Woooo

You can get custom leather covers for your seats. You just pull off the cloth and slide some leather covers over them. I know a few shops if you cant find any.

Factory or After Market? I can bypass most all but need to know what you got first.

It really makes life a lot easier. Great for on-star if you wanna keep it

Now if only the speed and tach would actually work in that background. I havent tried on mine but I wonder if you can change the background of the gauges screen? That would be cool!

Due it the weekend of September 8th. The Nascar race will be there that weekend and I will down in SoCal for the race. If anyone wants tickets I have 12 box seats left. We could do the GTG at the race and what not. Do a Sat/Sun thing. Just my 2 cents. Dan

Yeah really. She gets crazy...But i'm not selling them.

LOL poor zip
