The video was either downloaded or uploaded in Murrow image. It shows when at the end of the video, Porsche is also backwards.

Nice twin dizzy engine with custom air intake.

This clip was a facebook live clip. Only the second time I have ever used it. For some reason the video flips - maybe a video setting I overlooked or something.

Thanks man. Car runs great.

Thanks for the insight to PCA club racing rules. This car will never be raced in a class with PCA. Ill run it in DE events and that's about it.

The GMC - I absolutely love it with the 5.3 DI motor ...

Sierra 1500 5.3L EcoTec3 V-8

355 hp (265 kW)@ 5600 rpm
383 lb-ft of torque (518 N-m)@ 4100 rpm; more than 300 lb-ft of torque from 2,000 to 5,600 rpm
Maximum available towing rating: 11,500 pounds*
Maximum available payload rating: 2,102 pounds
EPA estimated fuel efficiency:
16 mpg city, 19 mpg combined, 23 mpg highway (2wd)
16 mpg city, 18 mpg combined, 22 mpg highway (4x4)

I ran a full pull using OBD link LX app - I wish I had the screen snapshot of it but horsepower peeked at about 385 and trq closer to 420 ... Great non diesel truck ... IMO.

do it. i've put 30 k miles on my 6,349 cc short stroke LS7 968 in the 1st year.

only glitch so far was having to remove the AC condenser and give up on cool air.

but i don't live in the south. so, life is good.

car and performance is deplorably solid.

Yep, if my car succumbs to TBF, the bay will gladly accept a nice low-mileage LS6 with a hot cam.
