Bought a 2007 Escalade from Texas today. $37.9K

 

Nice deal Mike. Was that on a "repo" and one more thing... you didn't get rid of the 'burban did you??

 

Not sure what the hell it was. We are going to be doing the internals, so I'm not too concerned. I'm trading the Burnanator into my tuner for a 20K credit towards the engine build on the new truck.

 

TT project on the way?

 

Nice. Look forward to seeing it terrorize all the squirrels in our 'hood.

 

It's still up in the air. I like the ability to have different boost settings with a turbo setup. My engine guy has a couple of big TT Truck projects currently under construction. He was also talking about a big single turbo set up. I am wondering if I would miss seeing full boost at 1500 RPM that a Whipple Supercharger can provide. The new 3.3L Whipple is built to handle 30 PSI. The problem is adjusting boost requires changing the pully!

Those squirrels won't stand a chance!

 

Having not driven a vehicle like that I would think I would want good low end torque for squirting around town. If they can give that to you in a turbo set-up, I think that's they way to go. But you probably want 1000hp, so you'll have to go big and have some lag I'd assume.

Have you been out in any of their turbo trucks? That'd probably help the decision process...

 

Mike, wow, just did a double take, $37.9 for an '07?!? Is it a RWD only?? Man, you stole that! Even after the engine build, it's still cheaper than the local Escalades.....

 

I know Pro. It does sound too good to be true doesn't it. It kinda makes me a bit nervous. The build will not be very straight forward. I don't think there has been a ton of heavy mods done on the new 6.2L or the 6L80E 6-Speed automatic. Hope I don't blow it up too bad!

 

wow where did you find a deal like that? for that kind of price I'll buy one too

 

Almost seems too good to be true. Hope it runs.

 

it can be done
depends one the mileage really
ive seen 07's with about 50,000 miles for $39K

 

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you use a TT Escalade for? Towing your home? Adjusting the rotational direction of the earth?

 

Dude. This is the wrong web site to be asking "What do you need all that HP for".
