Introduction/ Turbo GM Truck Project
 
Hey guys. New to this forum, but figured I'd share couple Vid's and my latest project. Some of you might know me from my 10 second black eagle talon here is charleston, sc. Anyways, new project is my 2004 GMC Sierra RST, designed by chip foose. I liked the 67mm turbo so much on the talon, I decided to put on the truck to.

To be honest, truck is a wimp right now. Has a little 4.8, most GM guys say pull it and go big. I decided to boost it instead.

Base line dyno video today: 243HP/262TQ

Hope to have the turbo and cam in within next couple weeks. It will be tuned with on E85 and no less then 400HP. I'll post a video of the new dyno and maybe some highway burnouts. :razz:

Welcome Rob. You got my attention with you turboing the FS. PLEASE do a build thread on it. Truck looks killer. I remember you with your car years ago. You don't know me, but I remember you trying to race a Red Mach1 one night when it was in the 30's one night.

Good to see another GM truck on board. 400hp out of a 4.8 is definitely pushing it. The E85 will help.

Turbo. So I think it is easily obtainable.

Thanks guys for the nice welcome. I figure I know some of you in person, but I don't roam forums to often any more. Ones you buy a house toys with wheels seem to get put on the back burner. :?

Hows the stang running Magoo?

Truck will be getting LS6 (z06) cam,springs, timing chain, and pushrods installed this weekend. Also, HPTuner Pro came in last night, got to figure that out next.

Bad thing is I leave for the desert mid March, so I got to get this project moving.

Silver-Dollar 02-23-2010 08:23 PM

Also, save some coins for a new transmission, specially if it is an automatic 4l60e.

Well I'm currently deployed, but i'll be back the first of June. I got the truck running and then I had to head out. Anyways, here's some build pictures. Never really got to tune it, but I can say i'm digging the turbo/v8 fun for the daily driver. =)
