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
