sdimedude Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Posted October 8, 2008 Here is the project thread on redoing the 6.0 with the turbo, still waiting on pictures for the turbo setup though. He originally started out modding the original 2.2, then installed a 5.3 with lots of nos, then moved to a 6.0 with lots of nos, then redid the 6.0 with turbo and nos. click here Quote
KissMySilvSS Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Shoot, thats nothing ...J/K...but....Lingenfelter has been running those times since the late 90's. From Lingenfelter site: Somewhat of an urban legend was the 2001 427 CID twin turbo Sonoma all wheel drive pickup. This truck was originally a GMC display vehicle that would run 9 second quarter mile with street tires. The truck was very original and featured a front mount charge cooler that took the place of the radiator, which was moved to the bed of the truck. Air reached the rear mount radiator via electric fans, which pulled air up into the bed through the radiator and back down out of the rear of the bed. All of this was concealed under an unsuspecting carbon fiber bed cover. This truck made exhibition runs at Pro Stock Truck races back in 1998. This truck was also featured in the Car & Driver shoot out in September 2002. Quote
sdimedude Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah, seen it before. Thats old news. Too bad some idiot wrecked it. I'm sure that thing was expensive as hell to make. Also that truck kept going through trannys if I remember right. Where as this guy built his truck on his own and the truck is very reliable and yet it keeps getting faster.
