SOLD!

Well I believe the time has come to sell my truck. I really want to get into a C7 in the next year or so and this needs to go for that to happen.

I purchased the truck 3 years ago from Maryland. It’s in very nice shape for the age and miles. It now has about 155k miles on it. It is tuned on E85. It also has a fiberglass tonneau cover.

In the time I’ve owned it, I’ve done the following:

Engine:  
LS9 head gaskets  
Head studs  
Lifters  
BTR dual springs  
Hardened pushrods  
02+ LS6 cam  
New - Water pump  
New - Radiator

Turbo:  
KBRacing hot side turbo kit  
3" core FMIC - aluminum charge pipes  
Bullseye/BW S372 turbo with race cover  
JBA 3" SS exhaust  
Precision 39mm wastegate  
120lb/hr injectors with driver box  
Twin in-tank Walbros

Drivetrain:  
Fresh 4L80e with Transgo HD2 shift kit  
Circle D 278mm converter with lockup  
Eaton True Trac rear diff  
B&M trans cooler with fan  
New - Complete rear brakes  
Newish - Front brakes (Hawk pads) and slotted rotors  
New - Completely replaced all hard brake lines with CuNi

Other:  
18" Titan wheels  
Kenwood CD player  
Image Dynamic speakers  
JL 8" sub  
Audison 5ch amp  
AEM wideband and gauge  
Boost gauge

This truck has been a lot of fun. Last year, it went 11.6@116.5mph in the 1/4 on 15psi. Since then I’ve fixed a lot of leaks on the cold side and on the hot side (pre turbo and post turbo). The truck is now tuned on 19psi and is a completely different beast. Unfortunately all of the tracks are closed up here now, but I have no doubts it will run 10s and in the mid 120s.

With all of that said, the truck is not perfect and I don’t want anyone to have any surprises. It is 15 years old. There is no body rust. The rockers, cab corners, rear fenders, etc (spots that are usually problematic) are all solid with no rust. The fuel sender is currently not working so the gauge always reads empty. Cold starts (under ~30 degrees F) are a little rough because of the ethanol. The tonneau cover lock is also not currently working, but I may get that fixed as well. The converter lockup is also very stiff as the shift kit removed the PWM on the apply. So when the lockup kicks on, you feel it pretty hard.

All in all, it’s in great shape and hauls ass! The AC/heat works great. It’s a very fun vehicle and deadly from a stoplight race.

Quick launch video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIBJDb1HQEw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIBJDb1HQEw)

If you have any questions, just let me know. PM me for my phone number if you’re seriously interested. Asking $11,950 and will show the truck to interested parties. Not really interested in trades but you can try me!

Thanks!  
Adam

I didn’t realize adding a turbo kit triples the KBB value of a truck.

Please keep your nonconstructive comments to yourself. There are many things that I am sure you don’t realize.

Maybe I should change the title? “Modded Truck: Free”. Or better yet, I’ll pay someone to take it.

All these guys selling Alpha GTRs and UGR Gallardos are stupid, how dare them ask more than KBB. Right?! 🙂

Truck is bad ass. I’m assuming it’s a 5.3l? What heads?

Thanks for the kind words guys!

It’s a 4.8L, I probably should have mentioned that. 862 heads with good gaskets and studs. I’ve turbo’ed stock bottom end 4.8s, 5.3s, 5.7s and 6.0s and the 4.8 LOVES boost.

Just out of curiosity, what does something like this make power wise on it’s current setup?

Regardless, looks clean, saw it in person at the track before. GLWS.

I haven’t dynoed it so I cannot say for sure. If I were a betting man I would say around 600 at the wheels. Maybe 650.

19psi I’d guess low 600s all day through the 4l80e. Thing is nasty. Trade yeah a built 3800 sc cavalier or my nitrous 408 trans am plus cash your end. 🙂

That’s good to hear, I just bought a 99 with the 4.8L and am debating on that KBracing kit.
