Great way to make a entrance! Love the 2500HD and your other rides
There was a board member (C55asleep?)here who had a C55 with 50 shot/cams/headers/kleeman tune and he traded it in for a Sierra2500HD in 2007. This is his ride here which i borrow from time to time. This 2500HD has a twin compound turbo with a huge intercooler up front. It runs 12's flat. It's pretty nice.

Lon, we might have talked in a previous life, were you on volvospeed?

I'll snap some decent pics soon, putting new tires on the rear this weekend.

Here's one of me messing around on the freeway, note the extremely low EGTs with the TT setup. Turn the sound up for turbo whine!

Just sold my Duramax TT, 650bhp/1200trq. It was just too big to roll around every day. Was a super fun truck, ran high 12's.



Currently DD'ing this little TDI Golf, it's pretty stock, and gets 40+ MPG


also, this was my old Volvo, so I've had an affinity for wagons for some time now.



Autotrader didn't have much in the way of wagons nationally, and as luck would have it, I finally found one right here on the forums actually, so I didn't walk, I ran.

On to the AMG.


Pretty much has all the options I think (still learning). Drove it home last night. 05, 65K Miles, 19" HRE's, (needs rear tires STAT!) Has a handbuilt 3" X-Pipe Exhaust, using the stock tailpipes.

Sounds great, drives great, looks great. Thanks for all the help, and I'll be trying to give back some help as I learn more.

--- I think we need a paddle shifter smiley.
You sir, have one tight sled brotha. Let the panty dropping begin

My freind had the same twin turbo setup as your Duramax but he sent his tranny to a place in Maryland and had the tuning done by a "Idaho Rob"?
That Turbo was a tight fit.

Yup, the guy in Maryland is George aka "BigDipper", he's a highly respected Allison builder, and Rob Coddens aka "IdahoRob" is the main man for EFIlive tuning, (www.atptrucks.com)
