How did that happen? You get bad gas?

Mines a daily driver but certainly no high power like you all.

I built the engine in Mississippi and it ran fine (low alt/good gasoline/high humidity). Trailered it to california (high alt/poor gas/low humidity) and it would never run on their pump gas. By the time I decided to run only 108 it was too late. The damage was done. She shelled out on highway 14 doing about 140. Compression was 10.8:1

I have an 01 Sierra that I put our twin kit on. Stock motor, 5.3 with a cam.

10PSI = 500+
14PSI = 600+
18PSI = 700+

91 and meth, drive it every day. My wife drives it too. :)

I have a friend with a 99 silverado/5.3 who wants some pwr. How much is that twin turbo kit?

About 8-10K depending on what he needs.

Apparently my power demands and his are a little different. Tells me now he just wants a cam/headers lol. Thanks for the info tho.

I got about 510 to the wheels and I noticed when I had the car shipped from New York to Las Vegas, that it was not running as good as it was in New York. I switched to 100 oct. fuel and all is good. A little on the expencive side but it runs great.:cheers:

Big fan of that paint job you have. Once I get the car put back together I will be looking for ideas on wild paint jobs.
