Been lurking for awhile but it's time to plan my build. I have a supercharged 2013 Sierra AWD with a 6.2 thats fairly stock. Kenne Belle blower and a small cam with full bolt on. Some port and polish as well. I need fuel, a rebuild and a transmission. It runs but I want to RIP it up and I can't with all this stock equipment! So I have never built an engine nor tranny but I will learn come hell or high water. I have no idea what to do but I know there's alot of it I want to do and with limited cash relative to the build I gotta make ends meet somewhere. 1.5k is going into new custom leather for the interior. I think the trans might cost 4.5k and the motor I have no clue. I need titanium valves, rockers, bigger cam, pistons, sleeves, maybe a crank and some odd and ends. I think a better timing tensioner and definitely a dual pump setup for fuel with a meth kit. Alot I know, but I don't expect it overnight, although I have free food and beer for anyone who wants in. If you have resources that could help or want to chime in please do so. I don't want a shop to do all my work I like doing it myself so I need to know how, what and why. Hoping to get as close to 1000 with the KB on it. Turbos next?

 

what size is the kenne belle? Also why do you need titanium valves or new sleeves or rockers? For 1000 hp i would go straight to a turbo setup, you’re going to have to spin that kb blower hard and they aren’t known to be the best as far as heat management. Then you’ll need a bigger heat exchanger, and probably a tank with more capacity, a 8 or 10 rib belt setup as well.

 

That 6.2 just needs head work and more air, if you like super chargers upgrade to a tvs2300 and get bigger injectors. Otherwise leave to motor sbe unless you just want to say it's built.

 

Haha NEED is such a strong word I would lean more towards want. The KB is a 2.8L and I am fairly certain it won't make it all the way to 1000 just want it to get close. I do want a turbo setup later but if I do that it's because I am going to net at least 1200 if not it's not worth it. Turbos are much easier on the bottom end. That belt whipping around causes bad harmonics on the bearings. I want to hit 100k mi no problem vs having pieces fall out so I want it free revving and stout. Not sure where I stand in relation to achieving these goals but like anything determination wins out. I really love my truck so I want it to be ironed out

 

Forged everything drop your compression and twin turbo that bich lol ..

 

Amen.

 

I think 850ish is about max for that blower so yeah. Twin Turbskis are later tho.

 

Honestly with 1000hp you won’t be drivable like you think lol

imho it would be Better if you buy an older truck to turn it in to a monster , if I were to turbo something and go for broke I’d start out with a 03-05 2500hd w/lq4 6.0 motor comes factory with 9:5:1 compression and has beefy bottom end plus the drive train is pretty stout has 4:10 gears aswell .. aswell as the 4l80e and nvg 149

 

look at lsa blower kits their alittle cheaper than the magna kits .. I’m kicking around the idea of running a S.C.

 

I would like to see or feel what the driveability on something like that would be. I don't want the fastest truck just something unconventional and kinda stupid. I wouldn't mind a better trans but if I have to rebuild the 6l80 more than once I can easily drop a 4l80 with a kit. Not that I am familiar with doing all of this I still am going to need someone to build it for me. Not happy about that but aside from going to school I'm not sure where to pickup all the info I need.

The truck is not currently my daily I have a plain truck for that.
Affords me some nice time to build and plan easier.
