    Duntz's Sierra

    I've got 00 Sierra 1500 Z71 that I've been slowly building up when I can steal some money from other projects. It's mostly stock expect for cold air intake, deleted cats, 3" single exhaust with a hooker aero chamber muffler, and 285 bfg at's on 16x8 Baja wheels painted black.

    Here it is when I first got it



    Wife wrecked it couple years ago so I had projector headlights, clear corners, and a billet grill installed since they where replacing the stuff anyways





    Here is the only pic I've got right now of what it looks like and yes that was my drive way up until about a month and a half ago( bought a farm in April 2011 and put a doublewide on it back in January so I'm still getting stuff setup ), I'll get some better pics tomorrow



    Here is the dyno run, they only took video of the first run which I hit the speed limiter



    Friday I lost 3rd and 4th gears in the trans so I've been ordering parts for the used 60e I'm sticking in it; I ordered a circle d 3,000 stall, 40k cooler, vette servo's, and a hd2 shift kit for it. Was going to stick the 01 zo6 cam I got but I'm going to stick it in the 4.8 that's going into my GMC Truggy and I'm going to stick something bigger in the 00 Sierra.

    The trucks lookin good!!! I was going to go with the HD2 shift kit as well, and the transmission shop told me it was waaaay to agressive for a daily driver. Just sayin.....

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......

    I'm planning on having it dyno tuned when I get a cam I like and headers installed.

    No reason for a Dyno tune unless you are doing something crazy. A street tune or even a mail order tune would work great and for less money.

    Time to get a new transmission shop. Plenty of guys running that exact kit and DDing with out a hitch.

    Got a local guy that I dynoed my truck on his dyno, he is Bluecat Tuning and really knows what he is doing with LS motors.

    Thanks and I can't wait to see how well I can get this ol truck to run.
