Finally got out to TES in Lubbock Texas for some dyno tuning! Happy with the results and power! Completely stock 5.3 lmg engine with AFM with a spike performance turbo kit running a precision 74/75 turbo on 8psi boost! Truck made right over 500 on 10psi, but tuned it on 8psi until I do some supporting mods to run 12-13psi. Happy for now though!

 

how do you like the spikes kit? how was the fitment? i was interested in buying one for my 08 silverado

 

Wow, your making more power than I am at 12 psi. Id love to see you hit the track so we can compare et and trap speed. Good luck man

 

The spike kit is good! I Put it all on in my driveway in a weekend with no problems. And for what I got in the kit at the price I got it for I can't complain! Plus the people there were very helpful with all my questions and concerns, especially Mario! This was my first turbo install and I'm pretty much addicted at this point! So yeah I would recommend spike performance for there products. I'm gonna do a build thread; I have a bunch of pics from the install! I'm still trying to figure out the whole photo bucket thing at this point though...

 

Thanks man! I'm definitely gonna get out to the track when I get back to El Paso, so I'll try to get some numbers up soon! I'm in Birmingham at the moment. The power difference may be from the turbo your running, or maybe just the dyno? My numbers were from TES out in Lubbock Texas, on their mustang Dyno. I'm sure My truck is quite a bit heavier than yours Choda, so I'm sure your track numbers may be better?

 

interesting. Mine weighed in at 5400 with me in it.

 

Well I guess our trucks are around the same weight then! I'll try and get some numbers up as soon as I get back so we can compare them!

 

if you dont mind could you pm me which kit you got i know they have a few options? and how much did it run you?

 

PM sent
