I like it, spools quickly. But if I had the chance I would go bigger.

 

Quick update - got the kit...WastedRubber (Tony) is a good dude - shipped ridiculously fast and was great to deal with. Going to just go with the 80mm and see how it does. If I have spooling issues...well there's always a 50 shot.

Anyway, doing the install on June 7th. Bought or have the following: 50' of 2" exhaust wrap, Taylor 409 Pro Race wires, NGK TR6 plugs, battery relocation box (installed, still have to move & wire battery), and LS6 cam.

A little apprehensive that there will be issues, but hopefully everything goes smoothly.

 

in the end it turned out the problems i had were transmission related and wiring harness related. You should be all set. best wishes

 

Well I guess this was meant for a Denali or HD only. After two days of messing with it, there's no way it will fit.

Anybody with a HD interested in the whole kit, or anyone planning on going turbo interested in parts?

 

What's different about it? The engine bays should be the same.

 

First of all, thank you to everyone who showed up to help on this. Special thanks to Tyler and Virgil.

Friday evening, everything went fairly well. We pulled the headers and exhaust off my truck, pulled the exhaust off Matt's truck, and put the headers on his truck. The only two issues were one of the primaries was in the way of the bolted joint on the steering shaft. Should be easily fixed with a shallow nut and shorter bolt. Then one of the primaries on the drivers side was hitting the front drive shaft (4wd) but turns out it was because the motor mount was bad and making the engine sit lower that it should. So all in all, it was a successful install.

The turbo on the other hand wasn't.

The short of it is this was made for the original owner's Denali HD and will not work on a non-HD truck.We managed to get the downpipe in on the drivers side (after bending brake lines, moving wiring harnesses, etc,) but it was pushing pretty badly against the lower ribbed portion of the steering shaft. The wastegate sat too high for my hood to close (must have been ok on the Denali because of the higher hood). The intercooler wouldn't fit between the frame where it was designed to sit. I finally decided to stop trying to make it work and just pull everything out. So now all my go-fast parts are gone for the most part. I'm down to a stock block with a GT2-3 cam, stock intake with 60# injectors, stock exhaust, no more stage 2 heads, no more roller rockers, no headers.

Not how I was hoping to come out of the weekend.

 

that sucks man. Now not to cut anyones bag or anything, but I don't understand why you would buy something that if you did a simple "search" on this site, you would see that there has been problems with that kit since day on.

 

A simple search...?

I promise you I did a LOT of research and reading about the kit. The problems he had were not with the install. The kit was installed and he made 640rwhp. As the previous owner said - his problems were with the shops, the transmission, and wiring harness.

 

Sorry for your misfortune. Take a little time to regroup. You could still move forward at a later date with some help from Trick or KB racing. Of course, I still like my rear mount. Good luck!

 

Oh **** I forgot that the HD trucks have body lifts from the factory. That would change the orientation of everything in the engine bay to the body. Sorry to hear about your luck with that kit
