My ESCALADE First Startup w/ new engine! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoid=52476458
I bought this truck with a blown up engine...
it had 6 of 8 pistons melted.
now has stage 1 heads, ported and polished intake and throttle body, TOG long tube headers, Borla Dual exhaust, a blower cam, and of course the magnacharger. oh, i also installed a 2800 stall!
still needs to be tuned is why it wont stay running, and I think i have a vacuum leak too... little bugs to work out, but wow.. I think it sounds pretty damned healthy for a 6000lb SUV!

I had the engine out and down to a bare block anyways...
the heads and intake and throttle body were destined for another project so I just stole em for this one. Had a blower...so it NEEDED a blower cam...haha
the duals and LT's make it sound good...lol
can't have a lumpy cam without a stall, it would be a chump off the line... had an extra converter laying around.
thats how I got to this point...

well from what I can see I've only got you by cubic inches, and exhaust...
you have the better blower, the bigger tb, and better setup transmission, Nawwwz...
although I dont see heads, cam, or stall in your list... ?
would be interesting...lol
my old '03 SS silverado was very fun with almost identical setup to my escalade just with a built transmission too...

right on right on... I can't wait to see if my logic all worked out on this one...
the stall has been in a box in my garage for like ummm 2-3 years....
the sc was on the truck already so I just made it mo betta...
it HAD 6 melted pistons so I was startin fresh no matter what, bought the cam, had to make it flow... hense the p&p and stage 1 setup
