Default 2014 Sierra, third time's the charm... I hope.

Hey guys,

This will be the third time I've been deep into the build of this truck, first time with nitrous and second time being turbo. Third go around will be built motor/turbo as my oil pump failed at the track at the end of last season.

The truck and I have a PB ET of 11.22 @ 127 MPH on low timing (we were setting up the trans shifting), when the oil pump failed.

Current goals are as follows:

10.7:1 built motor
1200 whp (will start around 900 and turn it up from there)

Had a rendering done of sort of what I'm after, some things are already changing...



And here's a couple pics from the last day out almost 8 months ago. Life has really got in the way of the rebuild, but after my move into the new house in the next few weeks we should really start cooking with gas again.







Thanks for checking it out, I'll post up some of last seasons build to keep this active until I start building again.

Thanks for all the love guys,

heres a few pics from last winter (2016/2017) of the turbo kit build and install. I built everything, charge pipes, hardlines, etc. My pal Dave did most of the work on the turbo manifold.













More soon! Enjoy.

Very nice!

Might want to get poly motor mounts while you have the engine out, just saying
