The only 400 horsepower silverado is not an SS. It is called the Joe Gibbens silverado and I highly doubt that is the one your cousin has. It is a supercharged 4.8 V8.

He is not talking about that one...hes talking about the NBS Chevy Trucks that have 400 SS printed out on the back just like the 454 has

No 400c.i.d motor...

Havn't you seen more than enough mexicans running around in Thunderbirds with 5.0 MUSTANG badges, right next to a 4.6L badge, with a Corvette flag emblem on the trunk and various other stickers from companies that don't make jack for the particular car they are driving? My point is it generally doesn't matter what is under the hood. Some people just like stickers/emblems.

Ran into the same discussions when back in the early 90's when i had my 454SS and those 400SS trucks were rolling around.
