WELLLLLLLL my Whipple 2.9 Escalade making more power :) Very happy with numbers. 7.5 psi/91 pump gas/ARH Headers/3.5 MagnaFlow cat back/z06 fuel pump/fuel line mod and @gptuning tune. 565/573. Old run was 543/566 with 6.5 psi. What peak numbers don't show is mid to top end 20 to 30 rwhp/rwtq increase. We let off the run early that's the dip at end. I'm a full Whipple dealer and if your interested in a kit give me a holler.

Oh I'm also a Alky control dealer and so I have a meth kit coming. Goal is 600/600 at wheels at 7.5 psi with no internal mods....on 26s lol

I'm almost done with this project and its been fun.

Well was able to get a few of my cars to the international auto show thats going on at Moscone Center here in san francisco until the 27th.

Both the SS and Escalade looking great. 20x10.5 with 295 35 is stuffed in the back of the ss. The offset I set up is on point.

I reallly did not need to see those pictures of the SS Tony!!! I've been wanting one now for quite awhile since they finally released it with a manual! I have been trying to work with my local 'stealer'ship now who have a Blue 16 SS with the manual and we just can't get to a good price point. Yours looks absolutely amazing though and kind of really makes me want to try to get the deal to work now... Did I read correctly that you're pushing close to 500 hp with the SS?

ANOTHER NORCAL SS First. I've been talking to belltech about making coilovers for 07 up gm suvs and Adam at belltech listened and came thru for me. I will be testing this unit on my 16 escalade and expect it to be available in about 3 to 4 months Front consists of a bolt in coilover unit 16 way adjustable compression and rebound and rear 16 way adjustable compression and rebound shock.
I will be updating with my feedback when I slap them on my rig in a few weeks. This kit will also work with my 5-6 inch rear kit, oh it will keep stock height all the way to 3.25 drop


I will offer a stage 3 package for those that want a all out handling suv to corner like on rails!
