MoarBoost Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Hey, fellas im new to the forums as you can tell but i dont have a silverado yet. The goal is to buy one next year a 2003-2006 silverado 1500 or 2500hd crew cab but i have a few questions from you experienced members. I'm looking for the best building platform for performance, not to familiar of the truck scene. The size of the bed doesn't matter but I'm looking for the model with the best potential. I want to twin turbo it and will be fully building engine, transmission and suspension of course. Please help I wanna make sure I buy the right truck and couldn't really use the search engine for my answers. What liter truck, gas or diesel, model 1500 or 2500 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jovanny Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I say get gas, Diesel makes crazy torque, If your going built it doesn't really matter what size if your going if you go with bigger cubes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought if I started on a bigger platform but it would be less money in the long run lol.

JC03SS Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to the site. I'd do a 6.0 build with a 1500. If your gonna be doing all this work make it just like you want it. Personally I'd use an Awd platform like a 03 to 05 SS but maybe I'm a little bias. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 just extended cab anything else is a clone. I spoke to 2 Diesel shops this week who stated with a few bolt ons and a tune they could get 500rwhp and 500fpt from a Chevy Diesel any more and you risk blowing the tranny.
