I am now officially the local mule for the Roe tuned STS SRT-10 turbo system. They'll be using my install to write the installation manual for the rest of the kits. As such, Rick Squires is going to do the install himself. The goal is a solid 600 rwhp on an otherwise stock engine. I'll have variable boost capability from 4 to 8 lbs. The Tahoe on their website sounds awesome. I'm anxious to hear what this V-10 will sound like.

 

That is very cool.

Curious about your traction plans.

 

Hell yeah! Definitely post up pics

 

that is cool. better post what the outcome is.

 

The truck has a 55/45 weight distribution so not too bad. It has a Dana Super 60 limited slip rear end. The trick rear suspension has built in traction bars and shock absorber on the differential housing. For traction, the tires are really the weakest link. Bogart wheels near you in El Cajon has designed a set of 18" wheels to clear our brakes so I can run Nitto DRs. But, if the tires hook, I'll need to watch my clutch.

 

shouldnt you make around 40-50% more power with forced induction? dont know much about it though. 500 hp stock should make around 7-800hp with forced induction right?

 

fogle, it depends on boost. I've have heard on a turbo setup add anywhere from 15-30hp per lb of boost. Just estimates though, dyno is the only way to know.

 

Thats going to be one bad *** truck! Post up results when its finished.

 

Dayum!!! That is going to be sweet!!! Keep us posted.

 

Sorry not to reply sooner. I've been out of the country. Just got home tonight. In fact, it's 1:20 am and I have jet lag. Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd check the forum.

You're right it'll make around 700 hp on 7 lbs. of boost. The stock internals aren't made to handle more boost than that. 700 hp at the flywheel comes out to about 600 hp at the wheels (rwhp). I'll be running 4 lbs most of the time and can have all 7 lbs at the flip of a switch.
