sure each light adds x amount of ft. lbs, the crap paint job adds some, but the biggest adder is the stick on scoops, they are good for at least 100 ft. lbs brah.

God I hope that is a joke.

Took the liberty of compiling the published engine modifications supporting the tanker-tugging torque this little hoss has.

It currently Runs the performance 4.3L V6 Vortec with many mods.
Dual 3.5" exhaust with flowmaster super 44 muffler has a deep roar to it, most ask if I run a V8
Optimum red top deep cycle battery
chrome 3.5" air intake by air raid modified to fit under the hood with larger filter
180degree JEG thermostat
rebuilt alternator running at 150amps (OEM is 105amps)
JEG torque converter with stall at 2,900RPMs
Fresh tuneup and oil change. oil change has been changed every 3,000 miles.

With the way the thing lights up like a christmas tree, I'll bet optimum battery and custom alternator really kick that thing in the ass when you hit the go pedal..


798 ft/lbs. Sure. And I'm your monkey's uncle.

Also you should ask for a copy of the dyno sheet

It must be the very rare Diesel 4.3.

 

[Swims350]

yea come on without some serious internal work, all that bolt on crap does nothing, not unless he read his new jegs or summit book and it said like up to 50 percent more torque on this and on that and he just added it up to see.

Here ya go! No 'Redtop' battery, no big alternator, stupid intake or exhaust. Just a well built engine with two turbos @ 24lbs boost!
Pretty amazing, but it still sounds like a V6 powered chainsaw to me.
This is more like 798 ft. lbs. o' torque.
Send this to him!!!
