LOL, yes. But this Silverado is not going to be able to run with the TT Sierra. We are building a twin turbo kit for this and that's it, and just test some low and mid range boost. I am sure the 2014 Silverado will be much faster from a stop but not on the top end because the converter is EXTREMELY loose in the new trucks, it will foot brake about 2400 rpms in 4wd stock! So there is no need to change the torque converter in the 2014+ trucks, you just have to know how to tune them...

We are not planning to design a single turbo kit, sorry.

Here is a picture of the hot side plumbing finished, and below that is another picture of it installed. We are waiting for some air filters and some electrical supplies which should be just a couple of days, then we will be ready for the dyno and some testing.

What kind of numbers are expected? Also how much of a difference would a 6.2 make?

We will find out soon, obviously a 6.2 would make a lot more power.

I have said this since these trucks came out. Why isnt there a small twin kit!!! The ford ecoboost is a 3.5 with DI and small twins and makes crazy good low end power. I hope these come on down low just as fast and effective as them. I have came so close to buying a whipple or procharger but I do a lot of towing and both of those are made for more mid range and higher rpm (from them). im ready for the dyno on this one.
