Default Minor Build: 2017 Gen 3 Whipple 2.9 GMC Sierra 6.2L/8AT

Thanks for the ad...
Picked up a daily/race car tow rig for the wife...
17 GMC Sierra 6.2/8spd
- Whipple Gen 3 2.9 w/ 3.75 pulley (8#’s)
- TSP Long tubes
- 3.5” LoudValves
- Alkycontrol single nozzle meth kit
- 5” Alum Driveshaft
- Chrome Delete

Truck will never see the track so dyno numbers are all I have to go by: 522/545

Still trying to figure out Rims...not my truck so wife gets the final say😉...thinking matte black versions of the ones already on the truck, but need some higher speed rated tires.

Note: Last pic is stock photo representing what the truck looked like before.

Default A Pillar Gauge Pod/Mechanical Boost & Zeitronix wideband guage add

Posting because I didn’t find a ton of pics or info on adding gauges to 2014-2018 Sierra/Silverados. Had to paint the Autometer gauge pod to match the silver interior (see pics for actual paint color).
Added:
- Autometer A Pillar Gauge Pod
- Zeitronix ZT1/ZT3 Gauge/Wideband Kit
- Alkycontrol Meth activation Light
- Meth tank low fuel indicator light
- LoudValves Purge Valve: allows manual control of LoudValves Cutout
- Center console button to activate Purgevalve/Cutout

Found my button solution...22mm, worked like a charm. Cover even folds down so you can hide the button. Steady state/button off - valve closed/cutout closed. Button pressed/light & valve activated/cut out open under boost.

Nice clean install, you were thinking ahead with the valve covers/breather setup.

Where's the racecar pics?
