Default Turbo Escalade

Check out my buddy's turbo Escalade.

Nothing like seeing a 'sclade on 24's stage next to you.

Sorry for the re-direct, but I don't feel like posting everything...

That's one awesome Escalade. I'd love to own a truck like that- one with lots of luxury but still able to lay the smack down when needed

Definitely not the same truck. You may have seen it at Motownmuscle, but never doing donuts.

Jon - That's one of Dan Millen's rides. I'm curious to see what 8psi will do. I'm going to talk him into a little 50 shot to help it spool too. I wonder if it's capable of 12's on the stock wheels (non-24"ers)? We've surprised a lot of people already. The turbo sounds sweet when it spools.

Now that is nuts. Motor work is easy though. This is a custom fabbed turbo kit (that can be replicated ).

You need a cam, intake, and some real tires Pat. Maybe a little goofy gas too.

I'm curious to see what the Escalade does with 8psi. It must have 200lbs of stereo equiment (tv's, 3 batteries, subwoofers, etc) in it.

If it were me, I'd keep everything in the truck and the 24s on it, up the power and see how quick I could get it as a fully equipped luxury truck

Same here Jon. I'd want it to run a mid 12 just how it is. The system in that beoootch is loud as a **** too. It's always nice watching DVD's on the ride to/from the bar too.

You got me. I don't know **** about systems. I barely know how to turn up the volume. There's two batteries in the engine bay and one in the back I believe.

...and just for the record, the intent is more show than go...obviously. I'm pretty sure it would run 11's or better if the owner really wanted it to. He another turbo vehicle that moves good.
