This has been a very special build for us. If you’ve ever dreamed of going absolutely crazy on a build, and making something absurdly fast that was never designed to – check this one out!
Just imagine the look on that proud Z06 owners face when you demolish them from a light in an unassuming Silverado.
This truck started life as a 2017 Silverado 4WD 5.3L V8 single cab pickup. Since, we had a customer looking for a 5.3L engine for his Hot Rod build, we used this as an opportunity to upgrade this truck to the 6.2L that was never offered in a single cab Silverado. Once we took delivery of our brand new 6.2L – it was time to open it up and install a set of Diamond Pistons, Oliver Rods, an LT4 Crank, GPI Heads, and a custom cut GPI Turbo Cam.
Next, it was time to install the new power plant, and bolt up a Armageddon Twin Turbo System. Due to the fueling limitations of the DI motors, we opted to also upgrade to the LT4 pump and injectors, as well as a direct port methanol system from ProMeth.
After wrapping it up – we strapped it to the dyno, and were pleased to see it made 760rwhp on the dyno, and is proving to be a formidable opponent to most high performance cars on the street.

Ready to start building your L83 or L86-powered truck?
The performance truck market continues to grow at a staggering rate – with huge popularity going back to the early LS trucks.
The L83 (5.3L) and L86 (6.2L) performance potential is especially promising due to these modern generation LT engines offering so much more power and technology than its predecessor in a factory trim. For instance, a L83 powered 5.3L truck starts out 50 HP stronger than it’s 5.3 LS counterpart – giving you a much better starting point with these engines!
That being said – there is always room for improvement right?
I currently have a 2014 Silverado 5.3 4×4 6L80. I just purchased a 2018 6.2 with a 8L90. Can I plug the 8L90 to the transfer case? Are the 14 and 18 harness compatible? I want to also get your high lift cam kit stage 2. What kind of hp gains? Thank you in advanced.
