    Upgraded Transmission and Converter Options for 2018 5.3L Premier

    Nice. Thanks for the info. What is done to your camaro that it makes 900whpr? I will say this - my stock T56 took abuse for 8 seasons with 800 whpr (ECS/Paxton 1500 with all the supporting mods) before I grenaded the rear and it took the trans with it. My RPM built level VII TR6060 with...

    Upgraded Transmission and Converter Options for 2018 5.3L Premier

    I did not think RPM would do 6 speeds. They do nice work, they built by TR6060 and rear for my corvette and it handles 1250+ hpr all day long. I am ordering a TR6060 sequential for installation this winter... That will be a party when it comes in.

    Upgraded Transmission and Converter Options for 2018 5.3L Premier

    Flipped the pill? They dropped the pan and changed the fluid and cleaned things up a bit (regular trans service).

    Supercharger for towing

    5.3 Liter with TVS 1900 and max towing package. When I pull my enclosed with the car inside (appx 7200 lbs), I do not even know the trailer is back there. It climbs hills nicely as well. Best thing I did because, before hand, it was terrible to tow with - gutless, always down shifting, tough...

    Adding Methanol

    We used the windshield washer reservoir but a proper pump with controller. Works like a charm. We installed a new reservoir elsewhere for the washer fluid. I wanted the washer reservoir for meth so when the washer light comes on, I know I am low on meth. Did the same thing in my Corvette...

    Upgraded Transmission and Converter Options for 2018 5.3L Premier

    I have a 2018 Tahoe, Premier, 5.3 liter. It has 68,000 on the odometer. The transmission felt a bit "off" so I took it in to East Coast Supercharging in NJ. They originally installed a TVS1900 on the Tahoe (about 50,000 miles ago) only 6 psi as of now and lowered it (within the first week of...

    Adding Methanol

    I have a 2018 Premier, 5.3, with a SLP supercharger and custom tune. It runs well and the blower has been on for almost two years. I am adding methanol in the coming month - an Alkycontrol kit. Curious to know if anyone has done so and, if so, what kind of gains they have seen. I am not...

    Hardwiring Radar Detector

    Thanks for the info. I bought a escort 360 max. I was going to go off the fuse box but, between the time I posed and yesterday, I found they sell a 12” plug that taps off of mirror power. That’s what I’m going to do tonight. Amazon just delivered it.....

    Hardwiring Radar Detector

    Which part of the fuse block (existing fuse) would be best for hardwiring in a radar detector? Thanks in advance.

    2019 LT Subwoofer Upgrade HELP

    I did a stealth box with a JL Audio VX600 and remote bass knob, installed exactly as above. Only difference is we took out the JL woofer and replaced it with an Alpine Type R woofer. Takes more abuse and plays deeper. It provides more than ample bass.

    Factory Head, Audio Frog, Helix and JL Audio

    Thanks. That's a nice solution for subs but I am going to use that area for the amplification and processors. I really cannot find another space for the three pieces I intend to use.

    Who has 6.2 and Does the 6.2 engine have a tick tick noise

    It is similar to the corvette engine and it is the injectors, same noise as in the corvette. My corvette had "injector" noise with the stock injectors. Once we went forced induction (first supercharged, now twin turbo'd), who the hell could hear injectors over the forced induction and straight...

    Factory Head, Audio Frog, Helix and JL Audio

    I am a SQ guy and former IASCA competitor and judge. I have gathered up all of the equipment for my build - the NAV650 switch so I can use the factory head with high quality RCA outputs, Helix 10 channel processor (time alignment/eq/phase, etc) with built in 8 channel amplifier, Helix Sub...

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    I do. My transmission computer does not require being sent out for unlocking. We will be tuning the transmission in the immediate future. So far so good After a couple of weeks, fuel mileage has been down only 1.5 mpg on average. This weekend, I got 21.3 mpg on a long trip and averaged 75...

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    Thanks. I’m fine with the engine tune. I will look into trans tuning. I just hope the stock trans can take some abuse or I will be building a stout transmission and turning up the boost.

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    Cartek did my original bolt on on the C6. ECS did the old set up (blower and meth, 760 whpr) and the new TT set up. Having dealt with both, I prefer ECS. Car is a street car, full interior, custom stereo, full weight. Raced at Pocono for roll racing. This year, Atco and 1/2 mile events...

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    It would not be fair to base it off my numbers. I am friends with the shop owners. The best thing you could do is call ECS at 6097520321. Ask for Chris. Offer that chubby bastard a chicken sandwich and see if they take money off the deal. Inside joke but use it. They have a newused...

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    What percentage are you ascribing for driveline loss? Not sure if it is making a difference in your calcs but mine has 3.42s gears, not 3.08s.

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    I used 6000 because specs say 5600 without driver - I allowed for added weight of supercharger kit, me, and fuel. If I used 6400, it gives me a response that doesn’t make sense (too high)based upon the engine, kit and boost being made. My butt dyno is fairly accurate to 1000 whpr. After...

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    I always let the track and my ass dyno tell me how fast my vehicle is. My ass said 425. Based on math, I figured 416 whpr. When I used an online calculator, it said 432 whpr.

    Supercharged 5.3 a First Impressions

    i have a 2018 Premier with the 5.3 in Tungsten Metallic. It has 25000 on the odometer. It is my daily and I use it to tow either my camping trailer or my enclosed car trailer with a 1500+ whpr twin turbo corvette inside. The stock truck did a fair job at best until it was time to climb a...

    Lowering 2018 Tahoe Premier

    I am picking up my 4wd truck next week. It will be my DD and occasional tow vehicle for a camping trailer and/or an enclosed car trailer. I want to lower the truck 2/3 or so and not degrade ride nor diminish tow capacity. I have read about kits like the Belltech and Crown but am not sure...
