Exclamation G-FORCE 2011 GMC Sierra SS LS3!!

My customer wanted a new SS like truck so we built him one! He ordered a 2011 5.3 Truck with all the options in a single cab short bed. We then gave it the G-Force treatment! We went for a completely stock looking engine. Even kept the stock Airbox and tube. The truck gained 144 RWHP and 113 RWTQ over stock!

Why the hot cam?

Sounds like a fun truck.

Likely because it is in a truck and the Hotcam will produce torque across the board nicely for a pickup. You try throwing in a "big stick" in a 5000 lb truck and see how long it takes to get to 60mph. Torque across the board moves weight. Especially when it's a just off idle on up range.

Well stated. Customer also liked the fact that the GMPP Hotcam LS3 is under warranty!

I'm a moderator on performancetrucks.net, I'm well aware of what it takes to move a truck fast

With that said the hot cam(219/228) is kinda wimpy for an rcsb unless he still wants to tow and have a stock driving truck. Thus I asked why the hot cam. If that's what the dude wanted then its a good choice. A simple tr220 in a tiny 5.3 with a 3000ish coverter is good for mid 12s so that's why I was puzzled by the can choice.

Well that's a good reason. How does the gmpp warranty work with an aftermarket tune?
