The kit minus the turbo is $3,595.

You will need to fabricate a small piece of pipe between the downpipe and the existing exhaust. There could be several variances depending on the catback you run, so it's not included with the kit.

Most of the trucks we've done here have been AWD and are tuned on the street, but we had a chance to dyno a 2003 5.3L Silverado with the Kit and the base GT-37 turbo. The truck was fairly stock with the only mods being a Gibson Catback and 4.56 gear. I wish we could have baselined it, but the kit was installed by the customer. I've seen similar stock 5.3L trucks make 225 rwhp / 285 rwtq (some may make a little more, some less).

It made 379 rwhp and 450 rwtq at approximately 6.5 lbs of boost.

Our Escalade with the GT-67 is probably making around 700 to the ground. It weighs 6,055 lbs and runs 12.88 @ 107 mph on 24 inch wheels.

Sounds about right.

My Z71 with the STS was estimated at about 550rwhp when it went 12.33@110mph and a 5250lb raceweight. The AWD and 4wd suck up rouhgly the same HP no? That Esky is very impressive

It's roughly $1,900 for installation and tuning.
