    All I can say is, "awesome"!!!

    The owner of the Trick Performance Turbo truck and I went out to the track tonight and ran a best!!

    To recap: '06 Sierra ext cab, 4x4, 33" tires, toolbox, full street trim, transgo shiftkit, 42lb injectors, upgraded fuel pump, Trick Performance front mount turbo 5psi, Nelson installed and tuned.

    The truck ran a 13.77 @98.88 mph!!!!
    60' was 2.08x

    If anyone is considering a forced induction kit for their truck, this kit is blowing away any kit on the market!

    I don't think any other kit can claim 3.1 secs drop in the 1/4 mile with 5psi, to my knowledge.

    The turbo allows a full boost launch with the stock converter.

    Once the holidays pass, we'll try to head back out there and run a 13.5sec, I know the truck is capable of it.
    We'll swap some stock tires on it (these heavy 33's are probably robbing about 50hp), remove all the xmas presents in the back, lol, and see what happens.

    Tonight was 68deg and high humidity. The intercooler did it's job, intake temps were about 74degs in the stages lanes, about 84deg after a test launch and 72degs at the end of the 1/4 mile.

    We'll have a video posted tomorrow. It shows us staying up with an older motorcycle, beating a transam and a few other cars.

    This kit has surpassed any of my expectations and beyond,

    thanks for listening,
    allen

    Pretty damn good for a heavy beast of a truck! When do we start breaking drive shafts? Did you paint a line down the shaft so you can tell when it's permanently twisted and may be getting close to failing?

    Only in 2wd, lol.
    At the track we launched in 4wd and immediately into 2wd, so no taction issues then.
    On the street, it&#39;ll light up the rear tires nicely though.

    Thanks Red, I don&#39;t think any forced induction kit can claim 3.1 secs, just wait until we swap out the 33&#39;s for the stockers, 13.4 coming soon.
    Not sure on the shaft.

    The Av was sick that night, for some reason the slicks spun on the rims and busted my tube, maybe next time.
