Here is one of the projects of yours truly. Before you send the hate mail and dirty comments, READ.....I
am not saying that my truck is the fastest, can tow the most or what ever, I know most of you have done
it better, gone faster with a stock truck etc...etc... I can prove mine. But, that is not the point.
The point is, what I have done and am out to prove, is that you CAN drive and have fun with a big
AMERICAN, V-8 vehicle with minor modifications and attention to driving technique. So far I have gotten
27.2 MPG on a round trip average to Beavers Bend Oklahoma, I can tow a 6,000 lb trailer, seat 5-6 of
my friends and family and have ran a best time of 15.81 @ 85.16 MPH in the 1/4 mile.
Modifications to this point are a custom magna-flow cat-back exhaust, Air-Raid intake tube, and a K&N
air filter. Prior tests were completed with a bad fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump. Both issues have
since been resolved. New rounds of testing will be published soon.
Keep in mind, this is with over 150k miles on the clock and still counting...
Long live the CHEVY TRUCK!!! Like a ROCK!
