how would this compare to a sts turbo setup?

 

I saw that Escalade up @ the Dream Cruise....It was pretty sweet! And Parish is correct that kit is done in conjunction with Livernois.

 

Looks like a very clean setup last time I looked. Hense the price tag. I'm sure that would have to include EVERYTHING like injectors, tuning etc. Otherwise that's a bit high.

That Escalade specs out at 5800-6000lbs stock

 

That would be around a 9.22 1/8th mile. I would say driver and all about 6800 lbs. it would take 440 HP to run what he did in the 1/4 mi. Of course given the weight HP estimate will vary.

 

I have been in that Escalade 100's of times. It pulls like a freight train for what it is. We've killed millions of non-suspecting victims. It's full of tv screens, stereo gear, 24" wheels, etc. Strip it down a bit and it'll really cook. The kit is extremely clean and built well.

Ask Harlan, he has this kit on his truck. Derty has worked on the 'sclade a bit too. Ask him about it if you want some details.

Keep in mind folks...you get what you pay for.

 

Thanks for the info, unit. Don't see you post around our neck of the woods very often.

 

I don't have much to contribute to this section so I keep my nose out of it.
The owner of that Escalade (and Livernois) is a good friend of mine. Still, I'd tell you if his turbo kit was a piece of ****. That's not the case though. Call 'em up and ask them about it. Good, friendly people up there.

Livernois knows FI:

Here's their 106mm turbo car (2000++hp)

...here's a couple from the Livernois website. I'm sure I could get my hands on some more detailed pics.

 

Please do!
