Default Attn: NewFrontMount Turbo requires a helmet!

(just thought i'd post it here as well since some do not visit the forced induction forum)

All I can say is, "awesome"!!!

The owner of the Trick Performance Turbo truck and I went out to the track tonight and ran a best!!

To recap: '06 Sierra ext cab, 4x4, 33" tires, toolbox, full street trim, transgo shiftkit, 42lb injectors, upgraded fuel pump, Trick Performance front mount turbo 5psi, Nelson installed and tuned.

The truck ran a 13.77 @98.88 mph!!!!
60' was 2.08x

If anyone is considering a forced induction kit for their truck, this kit is blowing away any kit on the market!

I don't think any other kit can claim 3.1 secs drop in the 1/4 mile with 5psi, to my knowledge.

The turbo allows a full boost launch with the stock converter.

Once the holidays pass, we'll try to head back out there and run a 13.5sec, I know the truck is capable of it.
We'll swap some stock tires on it (these heavy 33's are probably robbing about 50hp), remove all the xmas presents in the back, lol, and see what happens.

Tonight was 68deg and high humidity. The intercooler did it's job, intake temps were about 74degs in the stages lanes, about 84deg after a test launch and 72degs at the end of the 1/4 mile.

We'll have a video posted tomorrow. It shows us staying up with an older motorcycle, beating a transam and a few other cars.

This kit has surpassed any of my expectations and beyond,

thanks for listening,
allen

Do you understand the weight and size of tires this truck has? It's also just a 5.3L and the kit is only pushing 5psi.
What's not impressive about it?
What do you have that's "impressive"?

No dyno numbers yet, the kit and tune are still getting stronger every week, so we're letting everything "break in"
Plus, my dyno is down, bad cable.

Very soon though,

thanks,
allen

For comparison, my truck completely stock with the 5.3 (with 33's) with just a Radix on it at 6 psi ran a best of 14.38 @ 95.

13.77 is damn good.
