So it's still slow, isn't it?
Cool to see some innovation, but I've never understood of putting big power in a truck.. it's just so dang heavy!
I like the "supercharged" badge you put on... looks very OEM and clean. And I don't mean to hate- I'm thoroughly impressed with the work and finished product!!

A 6000lb truck @ 600whp is basically a 3000lb car w/ 300whp ... right? For a truck, that's pretty brisk

By buddy pieced together the kit using nearly all OEM GM parts, a couple retrofitting, and his own fab work and it's been fantastic! The badge is actually from the Caddillac XLR-V. Perfect match!

Love the build. Looks very awesome, nonetheless... And at least you aren't leaving big black diesel clouds behind you when you mash the gas. I'd hate to see the fuel economy of this sucker... 10mpg?
#11
Thanks. It's my first supercharger and it's great as my daily driver. Fuel econo....what? I average around 11mpg daily driving. Maybe 15mpg highway, and I don't even want to know when I stomp on it. My license plate says GON_ECO (going eco, or gone Eco).

Did the factory engine not have more power and tq? I assume you must not have had a 2500HD Diesel if you did this swap.

Factory is: 360/380 at the engine. I'm putting down ~50 more to the wheels. No, I have a 6.0 gas 2500HD. It's the same engine as the H2, and essentially the same as the CTS-V, with some variances. I saw a leak from GM that the '17 diesel is going to be 445hp/925trq

If it was a 5.3 like my dad's 1500 (although I doubt his did) it really doesn't. I drove it to PA a few weeks ago to fix my brother's laptop and that thing actually felt underpowered. Even at WOT on Route 80 to keep a pace that thing was going nowhere.

haha I was just reading the same leak probably about he 17. That is an insane amount of power for sure. You should easily be able to get your new setup up to 600-700 in the truck no problem.
#20
Yea it is...and that's untapped #'s. I think I could get closer to 6xx with pulley, injectors, and long tube headers.

440/925 in the new Ford SuperDuty, can't imagine that much torque

Sweet truck and nice work! I remember running a fast truck at the track in Houston about 6 years ago when my Vette was basically stock. He had a big grin as he was next to me for the 1st 2 gears and I was in disbelief. Then 3rd gear came and our facial reactions reversed.

nice build. something different!
So do you take it to GMC or Cadi dealership if you need something?

I do most of the work myself, but I havetaken it to the local GM dealership on a couple occasions. They were like 'is it really supercharged', noticing the badge. Then they got the look. Priceless.
