Just got my truck back thursday. I have a Yukon Denali with an intercooled whipple, jba headers, corsa exhaust, and a 4l85E LVL5. I am making about 10.5psi and making about 395whp and 424trq @ 5300 on a mustang dyno. I will post up the dyno sheet this week. This was in 2wd (I converted to 4x4 instead of awd) I am happy with the numbers escpecially since the motor is stock inside.

damn, it seems like those numbers are low..im pretty sure jenna is running a radix on her 5.3 and shes over 500 hp...maybe im off on that but im not sure..either way good numbers, juts seems like they should be higher with a 6.0 and a charger on it..

Depends on how much boost she is running. I am redlining at 5200 right now since my injectors and fuel pump are maxed out. I am going to upgrade to a bosch 044 and 60lb injectors and I should make more power just being able to redline at 6000. Also these numbers would be around 445-450whp and 470-475trq on a dyno jet.

What mods, how much boost and what dyno did she make those numbers on?

ahh makes sense...ya you should be good to go once you take care of those few things..

im honestly not even sure..i just remember reading it and i think her numbers were around there..not exactly sure though

just went back and read it..Justin said she should be making 550-600 at the crank...so i had that confused

Jenna has a cam,injectors,heads, etc and a custom BB tune. That could make a big difference. Also Like said above the boost level could also be different.

Exactly I just have headers and exhaust. If their numbers were based off crank numbers then I am basically the same without the heads, cams, etc.

AS I recall jenna also has a smaller pully (2.9 if my memory serves me right) Because of her upgraded engine components.

What fuel system are you running with the whipple? I see you did a heat exchanger so that diminishes the uberhigh iats associated with those systems but a cam and longtubes with proper tuning would get you over 500 wheel. Also wtf is a 4L85E? Did you mean you built your 4L65E to level 5 (performanbuilt, FLT, etc?) These LQ4s are quite stout I've seen plenty of 600+ trucks on stock bottom ends hold up just fine with proper tuning and some ARP hardware so she should be a runner with more boost and a pinned crank :cheers:

Pretty sweet. How did you convert to 4WD instead of AWD? I would love to convert my truck to 2WD but it just doesn't seem worth it :shrug:

Would you happen to have the graph available? Just curious about the curve.
I forgot it at the shop last week. They are going to email me another one today.

How much boost does a 2.9 pulley make?

44lb injectors and Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump, everything else is stock.

This is the 4l85e i have. http://www.gearstar.net/transmissions/more.php?unid=65

I hope my bottom end can hold that much power but I will be building the engine and making it a 408 or 427 before then.

The conversion had a lot of parts that had to be swapped and some repinning of the ecu.

That's a nice bit of power that you are putting to the wheels. Have you been to a track with that setup? I'm curious to know what kind of 1/4 mile times that would translate into.

I went to the track before I changed transmissions and raised the boost. I ran a 14.45 @ 95mph. Since then I changed to a 3000stall and a 4l85E and raised the boost to 10psi. I should probably be into the 13's next time I hit the track.
