Figured I'd update this...

Picking the truck up tomorrow after having the larger lower crank pulley, ID850 injectors, a couple new pulleys/belt, and a custom fabbed up Walbro 450 fuel pump and lines. Went from 3.5psi to 12psi

Now to find a dyno that can fit the width of my truck. Builder estimates around 650hp, and putting down close to 500whp.

Last piece of the build is waiting for the custom 1 piece 5" driveshaft from Driveshaft Specialists out of TX.

3.5 to 12 damn

Can those off road tires hold 650hp?

Nice. Sounds like you went with something similar to what I have in the works with changing up the lower pulley and all. Can't wait to see your dyno results.

Yea, the lower crank pulley really bumped up the psi.

By "hold" do you mean how long before I need a new set of tires? lol What might not hold was the driveshaft.

Since my setup is similar to the CTS-V, my builder was using a similar setup. I have a 6.0 vs. 6.2 and there other differences, but I hope to get some good dyno #'s. I know that a similar setup (but with 9.55" lower crank pulley, ID850 injectors, upgrade cooler, and drop in fuel pump) usually nets around 540-560whp on the V's. I have significant drivetrain loss, so I'll end up under 500whp is my guess.

Figured I'd add a few pics. Driveshaft shipped yesterday, so that's the last piece outstanding.



Custom Walbro 450 pump installed and plumbed.

Driveshaft arrived at the shop this morning and is scheduled for install this week! Last piece of power mods.

Just have a few minor exterior mods to do in late spring, otherwise it's done!

Driveshaft was finally installed on Friday!

Amazing how thin the OEM is. The new shaft is .125" thick (which is 2x thicker), and the yolks are machined, and now using HD Spicer UJ's.

What's the weight difference between the shafts? Same outer diameter?

I should have weighed them...but weight wasn't my concern. know the OEM driveshaft is 0.625" think and had cast yolks. This one in .125" thick with machined yolks...so maybe 1-2lbs heavier? Diameter on both is 5".

"7303 lb ft. is what our 5.0x125 HD 6061T6 heat treated tube is rated.

4974 is what the strongest Factory OE tube is rated."
