Is it worth it to buy one of these or just do the aftermarket stuff your self ? and info on this truck what kinda times do they run and so on thanks guys

 

Pretty much any way you look at it, the Gibbs is a rip off. If you want all the goodies, don't want to do any of the work yourself, and want the comfort of a full warranty, get a Chapman SuperTruck. If you don't mind doing work yourself, just buy a base model Chevy/GMC truck and mod it yourself. The only real performance mod on a Gibbs truck is the Radix (the rest of the stuff is pretty much foo-foo appearance mods), and you can easily get one for less than $4500 - then either install it yourself or get it installed for between $500-$800.

 

Talked to Chapman yesterday they are much better of a deal than Gibbs trucks plus they have some ECSB 2wd 6.0L with the blower supposedly goes 12s et with 4.10 gears.

 

""Question: What vehicle's can be SuperCharged?

Answer: Any Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche and Corvette with a 4.8L, 5.3L 5.7 5.7L(LS6) 6.0 or 6.0L(H.O.) Gen III small block. We have not found a reliable SuperCharger 8.1L Big block. (Coming soon an EPA certified 600hp 535cu big block for your SS and HD Silverado's) 8 ) Over a $20K option!""

Did anyone else notice the upcoming Big block Oh i need to find out more

 

Check out ASM its been out for a wile for boats and its very pricey I'm building a seamler engine about the same HP & TQ for about half the price They said they would like to drop one in a SS but no one has annyup for yet.

 

Arizona Speed and Marine does all the work for Chapman Chevrolet on the Chapman Super Trucks.

 

I would be interested in seeing that timeslip.

 

WOW thanks guys never heard of the CST's but i checked them out and it seems like a way better deal than the GIBBS silverado

So everybody agree the CTS is a better deal than the gibbs ?





What Additional Options would you guys put on ?

I think if you buy either one you have more money than brain!

They talk about a 410HP sleeper for 27000 dollars! LOL! Sure, you get a nice diffy, a catback, new tranny, and tinted windows (lol) to go with that horsepower...

But I mean damn.... for another 500 bucks for some 100 shot spray I'ld be leaving you and laughing the entire way down my low 13/high 12 quarter mile that a couple thousand in performance mods just beat your truck with 27K of "go" put into it.

And look at the options? $325 for a 2" rear drop? That's laughable! It takes a couple hours of work at the MAX and $75 in parts. I did my entire 2/4 drop and shocks with about 400 in parts.....

Maybe I am overlooking some things that make it worth almsot 30K, but I think for the money they could at least give you a new cam in there and boost the output by maybe even 35rwhp!

 

Only thing different is it will have a 3 yrs warrenty and if you blow your engine using 100 shot the dealer probably wont cover that.
