New Member 09 Sierra 5.3L
Hello all. My name is Isaac.
I have a 2009 GMC Sierra Crew Cab with a 5.3L.
I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Crew Cab with a 5.3L. Truck was tuned by Chuck at HHP.
I have a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 that I'm hoping to see running after having invested quite a bit since 2010. Currently having work done to it to make it look and run good.
I have owned the 2009 sierra since 2013 and had my exhaust and first tune done in 2014 by Josh Performance.
In 2020 I had a cam and headers installed and it really woke the truck up. The cam was a stage 2 TSP cam. Specs were 212/218 .600/.600 112 lsa.
Truck ran well and was daily driven for a while until recently. A lifter seized and damaged the cam. So I decided to fix it and go to the Stage 3 TSP High Lift Cam. Specs on this cam are 216/220 .600/.600 112 lsa. While it was still in shop, I was convinced by my mechanic to add a 3000-3200 stall, trunnion kit, trans service, 2/4 drop, and freshened up the suspension from control arms to ball joints, etc. There are other mods that I have had installed that I list at the bottom.
Yesterday I purchased a twin turbo kit for the truck and am awaiting appointment to have it installed. Exciting stuff.
I am not knew to mechanics. I was a technician for the Chrysler dealership for about 4 years and had previous experience as well. I became a Master Tech and decided to move on and get a stable job. I would do the work myself but with the family and work, I find myself having a difficult time finding time. hahaha. Story of our lives.

Wonder how much power increase you'll really see on a stock fuel system. Probably not much I would think.
Sounds like a great plan though
