I have a 2014 CC Denali with a 6.2l. I've added a Magnuson tvs 1900 and a set of American Racing Headers. she ran 14.7 stock in the 1/4 and her best run is now 12.95 @ 105mph. I have had a fair bit of problems with getting his thing tuned to run properly( damn GM Torque Mgmt). It was pretty frustrating. I talked to many companies that claim that they could properly tune this truck. Finally after talking with Mike at New Era Performance in Rochester NY and traveling the 26 hour round trip. All is fine. My truck has 110000 kms or about 70k miles on her.

A few things modified on the 2015, but always room for improvement. The transmission could stand to be tuned a good bit more. Doesn't seem to have the firmness I'm accustomed too. Also having a problem with the #4/6 plug wires burning up. I do have heat sleeves on them, but I believe I'm gonna have to wrap the headers, even though they're coated, and maybe try some different wires.
If anyone has further suggestions on the wires please let me know. I'm unaware if the wires you cut to length have the right ends for the coils....and I honestly haven't researched it enough. I literally have to keep a box of wires in the truck. Got a buddy with the exact setup except his has the 3.73 gear.
Vengeance Racing in Georgia performed the work and did a great/professional job.

humm my mod list so far....
HIDs for the headlights, stereo, sub, viper remote start and alarm, deleted the muffler, gutted the third cat, removed the factory lift blocks from the rear axle, decladded gmc 20s with new Michelin ltx, soft bed cover and spray in bed liner, and removed the sierra and GMC emblems. oh and i pulled all the plastic covers off the intake and valve covers.
up next is find some centercaps that fit, a LSD for the rear, and a tune, and eventually a cam.
I'd like for the truck to be louder but man i don't think its possible.... one day i was bored and just unbolted and removed the factory cat back and drove it around just open Y.... was not that loud.

Those wheels look awesome, super simple and clean looking...agree on the centers...Would be nice to get some GMC logo center caps in there... give it the stock...but not quite look.
I want to get some of the ebay inserts for these, but I don't want just a sticker...I want something of decent quality.

I'd save your money on the intake. Maybe a drop in filter and tune.
