cstmg8 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I've test driven several '15+ Sierra Denalis with the 6.2 this past week and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one of them this week. My plan has been instant power adder. Not looking to drop 8-10k for a race truck, just a nice boost in power for a fun family/weekend mobile. Both the ON3 turbo kit and the torquestorm supercharger seem to fit the bill. Suggestions? I may cam it as well.

coltboostin Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 ON3 for a few reasons. 1) Price 2) Support the locals! 3) MO POWA at the twist of a knob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstmg8 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 If I'm not going for crazy power, what do you think about the supercharger low-end vs the turbo lag higher rpm power?? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent1976 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 My 6.0L truck had very little lag with a 76mm/.96ar turbo. All of my friends had cars/trucks with blowers and were very surprised how little lag it had. If you’re going for under 650whp you could do a smaller turbo and it would have no lag. Turbo is different in a 5-6000 pound truck than a 3-4000 pound car. I’d get an On3 kit and get the manifolds planed before installing so they don’t leak.

Rally Pat Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 If there is such a thing as a name brand of chinaboi turbos, thats what On3 has evolved in to. I would put them just ahead of VS Racing in popularity. Good product. More than gets the job done and has more than proven all of their past critics wrong. I remember when On3 got nothing but hate for selling Chinese turbos, now thats the only thing people run, especially in the junkyard LS world.

EssFo Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Roots blower would be all I would use on a truck. Low end torque is gud. But, if you're gonna turbo it then On3 fo sho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 So you’re going to go buy the top level nice Sierra that’s only a few years old and then cheap out on mods? I can understand this on 10 year old stuff, but this I don’t. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Haha, I get it, but look at it this way. I'm putting the forced induction on it anyway, so why not get a '17 instead of a '14. I drove some older trucks and just wasn't crazy about the surface rust, etc..... What I'm not trying to do is spend $8k on a supercharger. That'll buy my f100.

STEVE-O Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Sounds like you need a 5.0 F-150 with a on3 twin kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sounds like you need a 5.0 F-150 with a on3 twin kitI know, I looked at that. Haven't completely written it off, but just something holding me back from the F150. Probably just wanting to stick with the GM v8 line (LS) from familiarity. I feel like the F150 is everywhere and everyone has one, but I know in reality Silverados are just as common.
