2008 Silverado

Post by Mek 97SSE »

Figured I'd post up some pictures of my baby until I can get some more pictures of the Bonny up. :)

Little info: First off, its a 2008 Silverado with the VortecMaxx option (6.0L motor). These pictures are older but the only thing it has exterior wise extra now are window vent visors and a bug shield. Performance wise it has a GM Performance parts Air intake, Magnaflow cat back exhaust system, Granatelli MPG+ wires (Went with them to see how the truck liked near 0 resistance wires), and a diablo predator tuner running the 87 octane tune for the winter.

Couple up in the mountains here.

And a close up of the toneau cover. Its hard to see in the picture but it has a large bowtie emblem at the back of the cover.

Looks awesome! What kind of MPG's you get with the VMAX and the tune? I bet that 6.0 sounds great with the magnaflow system.

It sounds wonderful. Though it is pretty loud. My buddy says he can hear me about 2 minutes before i actually pull up to his house, and thats at 15mph barely touching the gas. The mileage. Well. *cough* 13 Around town is about all i can manage. Of course I drive with a lead foot. On the highway I was getting about 20ish with the 93 octane tune running 93 Octane BP gas that had no ethonol in it. Once I got back into the ethonol fuels and 87 octane i dropped to around 17mpg highway.
