Made me think...
Truck has 300hp @ 3100 RPM and 520ftlb @ 1800 RPM so less power than the 928 it hauls but 2x the torque.
And PCA Club Racing is for Porsches and the rules don't allow radical engine swaps. The cars can be upgraded or backdated to be other models but no "unnatural" combinations.

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.
