Guys, I'm putting my truck up for trade towards a V2 CTS-V. I hurt my back earlier this year which is still giving me issues and I'm ready to shift gears into something more plush. I've been driving a friend's boaty Marauder the last couple months and it's got enough power to get me around day to day. I'll consider trades for something 4-door, RWD, V8. Impala SS, Chevy SS, TBSS, etc. Cash on your end or my end.

This truck has been my DD for the last ~16 months and 15k since the turbo went on. It is rock solid reliable. ~145k on the chassis. Ran 11.65 @ 120 on a very hot night and spun to a 1.91 60ft. Ran a 1.72 60ft the first track outing. I have about 10 passes on the truck, always on street tires and trying to figure out the launch. If I had known to air them down, I probably could have gone 1.6x and lower 11s. With 18-20lbs, colder air, and Hoosiers at all 4s, I know it can go 10.x (this will be my plan if I end up keeping the truck). It currently makes 550/580 on 10lbs and 650/600 on 15lbs. The truck runs on 100% E85 since we have it around here, but it can retuned for pump gas. I drove around on 6psi on CA 91 on my tuner's base tune and the truck ran great and was still very fun. Speaking of tuning, this truck has a lot of dyno time, both at Cunningham Motorsports as well as Addiction Motorsports, as well as Atomic's email tuning. Zero driveability issues. No surging or bucking. Starts immediately on E85. Absolutely zero leaks anywhere.

Edit:
Here is the 3" exhaust that is included, if the buyer wants it:

 

Out of curiosity, what size is the pipe going to the Throttle Body? I didn't see it listed in your build thread.

 

3"
5" Race intercooler kit.

 

Thanks!

 

No prob

 

how does the A/C work?

What gas mileage does it get

converter is single or triple disk?

What are the specs/brand on the turbo?

 

A/C is ice cold. The intercooler piping routes under the radiator so it doesn't interfere with the condenser.

10mpg avg city with wot blasts mixed in, 15mpg highway. It has a 350+ mile range on one tank of E85 on the freeway.

Circle D single disc 258mm "2B"

It's the 76mm off shore turbo from the Trick stage 2 kit.

 

How many miles are in on the engine and trans since build?

Do you have documentation on them both?

How's the chassis look? rust?

Whats the history on the truck before you owned it?

Very neat build, definitely interested.

 

Chassis has ~145. Original Gen IV shortblock. I do have receipts for the cylinder head work and all the parts, yes.

Trans is a 4L85e. I put the shift kit in when I installed it. I've had the pan off several times since then and the magnet is always clean. Shifts completely perfect and I'd welcome anyone to come take a ride to verify.

Chassis is typical Southern Caifornia. No rust, no problems.

I'm the 2nd owner. Original owner bought it from Paradise Chevrolet here in town.

Thank you. This isn't the fastest truck on the forum but it has a lot left in it and it can be driven anywhere. At this point I'm primarily looking for trades, to be honest.

 

Can you post up some pictures of the interior, undercarriage, bed, etc. when you get a chance. Thanks
