The truck was bought new in 2010 and stayed with my mom and dad up in Missouri, until around 2016. they loved the truck as much as I do. When I picked it up, it only had 20k miles on it, basically a garage baby.
So it became a Sunday driver since I also had a semi built 2001 2500HD Silverado.
In 2018 I decided it was time to start modernizing it a bit. I added a turbo kit to it, intake manifold, injectors and 525 hellcat fuel pump, HP tuners and a few other things.
In 2022 a friend, Paul said he was having his engine built in his 2500 HD Silverado and recommended Blake Ulmer at ATS Raceworks and I thought, nothing has been done with my engine, That’s a great Idea. So in the attempt for the allusive monster horse power, I ask Blake to make me 1400 HP engine and supporting equipment, and he did. But we left the original T76 Turbo on it which limited the HP that the engine is now capable of, but I thought I would drive it around and see how this was. Turned out AWESOME, very responsive and quick, I’m loving it.
But, then comes this thought from out of the blue. Your turbo is in adequate, WHY. So Blake told me to call Reed at work turbo, and they hooked me up with the largest T4 platformed race turbo in existence. Thanks for That.
Now the problem is huge turbo and nothing fits, and I want a race car style install with all the tubes welded, heavy turbo support, special race connectors instead of v bands and silicon sleeves and so on.
Which lead me to Sammy at O&E Speed shop. When I saw he had a heard of mustangs putting out the HP I wanted, all welded up, basically show race cars. I thought, Yes Please.
So Sammy did all the new fab work to fit the turbo, new welded tubing, bracketing and new dyno tune and so on. Sammy added the Bling to the Ring. And bullet proofed the monster, nothing blows apart when launching , Plus fully stocked show room full of eye candy and go really fast parts ready for your ride.
Haapppyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!
