My 2011 Escalade Build Thread!!

[NORCAL SS]

Hated my 4.10.

Wish my dealer would just swap gears because I heard a whine.

wondering why you hated the 4.10s. Looking at all the truck forums people have been loving them.

Tuned by who?

LT1Z hes one of my buddies does tons of trucks. He did my tbss it went 11.39@120 on a 125 shot stock heads with a cam. On the blower set up ill be going with black baer.

Oh hmm never heard of them. But nice this should be a fantastic build to follow.

 

[NORCAL SS]

he's a local tuner has done a lot of trucks on the board bolus specs his own camshaft us tbss guys ran that pretty much have the fastest record.

 

[Blazed]

Oh that's cool

 

[NORCAL SS]

he just called me I can put 410s from tbss in...... I think I'll just keep 373. 410 with blower will be way to much gear

 

[THE YETI]

Just feels like it went through the RPMs fast. High rpm. Just not what I was used to. I wished I had 3.73. The new truck we jut bought has the 6.2l with 3.73. So well see how that goes.

well talked to LT1z (my buddy matt) and here is our plan on the final portion of modifying the truck

1) Truck has volant intake on it now so thats covered
2) Have a 3.5 inch in/out magnaflow with turned down and resonator cut off.
3) NGK TR6 plugs going in this weekend
4) Taylor wires
5) get the gears changed to 373s.
6) dyno and tune on the 11th.
7) October 24 going to see what it runs

Once we get it back ill do whipple and im doing a custom canton tank set up like I did on my tvs2300 on my old tbss
you can see that here 4:16 into the video

changed the plugs to ngk tr6 gapped at 40 and taylor wires. I have a ported tb from my ctsv I will put on the escalde after our first base run to see if it helps.

 

[Blazed]

Excuse my novicness but what exactly do the plugs and wires do and how much did it run you?
And the ported throttle body what does it do?

Excuse my novicness but what exactly do the plugs and wires do and how much did it run you?

plugs and wires you looking at like 100 bucks. tr6s are just a better plug for tune and stock plugs give a lot of kr.

Heres something to read
