Looks like we are going to be picking one up in the next few weeks. Already have some big plans for it (hoping to get the Denali taken care of first though!).

How are you guys enjoying the power of the 8.1L in the Burbs?

This will put some decent time in towing trailers. As will as some time on the dyno with turbo development coming up.

I thought about a turbo kit for my Denali, but then it's nice to have the instant power. The turbo is great for towing. I had a nice set of towing twins on my Cummins and loved them.

We have always run Magnachargers on our DDs, great for towing, just threw a TVS2300 on my Denali.

Justin has had quite a few 8.1L customers ask him about a bolt on turbo, and now that we have an engine dyno, he can finally do so!

any other info on it you can give us, Jenna? :popcorn:
What info you want? :anitoof:

They are fairly nice. I went on a 2hr trip with a horse trailer on the back and felt great. Its the school districts burb only thing i hated was the 3rd row is so damn small
