Turbo build for my 89 GMC Sierra with a 5.3 Vortec
#42
Couple updates I wanted to add to the build. The GMC has been sitting since Nov. 1st and will stay in my garage till all the snow is gone. I reinstalled my 3.08's and the free gov-loc I got. Total investment in the rear diff is $190 ($150 of that is the cover) so when it blows up ill have to do something else. Having a newborn and a G/F in college puts a pinch on the wallet.
Also bought some 275/50R15 drag radials and some cheapo chrome rims then installed the factory GMC center caps. I dont think it looks all that bad.
Installed coolingmist Meth Injection
Installed Nitrous and mounted solenoids on side of intake
Cant wait till spring, counting down the weeks!

thanks! I hoping with a 75 shot and some fine tuning a some runs under my belt to find the best way to launch this thing I can hit high 10's. Or break something trying!
Horrible video, but it shows my time.
15psi and 15* of timing
I foot braked this launch. (no tbrake,2 step or nitrous) launched easy cause it was my first run ever with this setup. (2.1 60') I was afraid of wheel hop. Anways see the video for proof.

2nd video was a tuning issue, sorted it out after. I was running way to rich. Look at my exhaust puking black smoke during my burnout. So I just cruised to the end. I posted it so you can see how pretty my truck looked.

Resurrecting this old thread in hopes to find my old truck. I sold it to a guy back in 2010. I've contacted him and he's sold in to someone in Syracuse, NY. (I think) He's in the process of trying to gather some info for me to contact the most recent owner. Its a long shot, but does anyone have any info?
Thanks
