I need to choose tires still. I have a Rough country 7" suspension lift to install. I hear 20x12 -44 offset sits perfect.

I have over $25k into the truck and build currently. Will be closer to 30k when done.

Finally! Let the fun begin.



































Had the truck wrapped Matte Blue Metallic Ghost, and leaving some accents black. Looks BEAUTIFUL!

My good friends at Gas Monkey Garage hooked it up with a new in box pair of Full Race turbos for the 13-14 style. These are going on my 2011. So I know I need the 13-14 intercooler, anyone have any suggestions on a mechanical BOV?

Truck currently has the Heartthrob Aluminized 4" exhaust installed, and AEM Stage 2 intake. I have a catch can that I need to install.

What else do I need for a good set up?

 

Almost done with the wrap... I want to give a big shout out to my friend Richard & Gas Monkey Garage for hooking me up with this brand new in box set of Ford GT / Full Race drop in turbos! I also picked up everything from ford to do the swap.

 

The Plaptor(?) is looking great!

 

haha, oh man I like that.

 

Raptinum? Lol

 

Not a chance.

 

Yes it does, cant wait to see it completely assembled & outside in the sun

 

The wrap is looking great. such a awesome alternative to full paint for builds. Can't wait to see this thing blasting down the road.

I'm having some problems with the modifications. From what I've heard, I'll need a $1600 HPFP to run 600hp on pump gas with these new GT Turbos. I really dont want to dump another $1600 into the performance side of this truck when It's going to be on all terrain tires with a lift and get zero traction anyhow.



A few of my colleagues say to sell the new GT turbos, keep the stock ones, and do all the other mods to get around 500hp and be happy. What do you guys think?

 

I guess first question is, how happy are you already? . Don't build this for anyone else, you are the boss here.

 

Haha. I'm ecstatic with the intake and exhaust only, coming from a 5.3L Avalanche. This thing pulls my 10,000 boat (my other truck could hardly move it) as if its literally towing nothing.

 

In that case, wait a while for the power upgrade. At least until that big grin wears off.

 

Sounds like u already know the answer

The truck looks amazing BTW &
I can't wait to see an appropriate Wheel/Tire combination on this bad boy

 

Got some more fun stuff going on. I continue to use the truck to tow a 8,000+ lb boat and trailer... it pulls and stops like there is not even anything behind it. I am thrilled.

Decided to Line-X the bed myself. Turned out great.
