Default TBYRNE's Duramax with ram air hood, 22s + more! (56k warning)











I finally had a chance to take some pictures with the Suncoast Creations ram air hood. This is a little different than the hood that they sell through. It usually comes with heat extractors on each side of the scoop. I had those cut out, holes filled in and then painted.

The truck rolls on 22x9.5" Weld Evo Velocity 8 wheels wrapped with 305/45/22 Nitto 404 tires. Other appearence mods include - painted grill shell, flares and mirrors, stainless steel grill. 6000k HID lights display the road at night.

A Volant induction helps the Duramax breath while MBRP tips hang behind each of the rear tires. They are attached to the stainless steel catback. Programming is provided by the Edge with Attitude that is stacked with a Predator programer. Each of them is set to "kill". Rolling into the throttle produces billowing clouds of smoke -



A Suncoast transmission and converter send all of this power to the rear tires!

There is a camera at the back of the truck makes it very easy for one person to hook up to a trailer. It can be done on the first shot instead of getting in and out many times (that is a real pain) -



The trailer also has a camera to see what is going on back there on the road plus it provides a good view while backing up -



This truck is set up for road trips. Nothing makes a trip go by faster than watching a movie. It has 2 DVD players, 3 screens, X-Box and satellite radio. A navigation system helps when I need to know where to go -



A few other mods will be coming soon. I'd like to see about 500hp at the rear wheels before this is done.

why did you stack the edge w/ attitude on top of the predator? that doesn't make sense to me. maybe i'm wrong. isn't stacking bad?

Stacking is ok when you have a built tranny and enough fuel to feed it. Sometimes certain stacks don't play well together and cause bursting, excessive rattle, turbo bark, etc.

I sent the Edge in to be updated to the newest version about a week ago. The truck seems to drive much smoother with just the Predator. The Edge's gauges are sweet along with being able to switch power levels with a push of the button.

I really wanted to lift this one but with the towing that I do it's better with the stock height.
