 Our ’06 LBZ picked up 50 horsepower today on the dyno...


 Seeing 35-36 psi of boost on the rollers (36-38 pounds on the street), the 68mm Cheetah turbocharger pushed the truck to 525 hp at the rear wheels, along with 900 lb-ft of torque. Out on the road, it cleaned up the truck's smoke tremendously, cooled EGT considerably, and retained its stock-like spool up. At this point, we'd say the truck is pretty rock solid: it runs cool, maintains 24,000 psi of rail pressure, has plenty of power (for a lot of enthusiasts, anyway), and is fun to drive. Most importantly, it's safe! You could beat on this truck all you wanted to and it would hold up. We like that aspect most.

Here's a sound clip of the attention-getting Cheetah in action.

525/900
