New to the site, not the game... from Texas
Time to introduce myself. I joined this site a while back and have just been lurking around. This is a very informative site, helpful, looks like all the members are very friendly and helpful. I look forward to making alot of new friends, helping out, exchanging ideas and most of all, having fun with the trucks.
A little bit about myself. My name is Gabriel, but i am known by everyone as "Jr." I am from San Leon TX. I have been around trucks all my life, and love modding them. I am a member and sponser on HoustonPerformanceTrucks.com (SXT Performance) and will be seeking info on possibly becoming a sponser on here as well if someone can point me in the right direction.
Those of you may or maynot know, my uncle is Eber, and together we have modded numerous trucks. Enough about myself, along to my latest truck.
This is my 07 Sierra and she goes by the name of "La Guera". I've had had her for almost 1-1/2yrs now. She came plain when i got her with a 4.8L just under 10,000 miles on it bone stock. stock tranny and a one legger with 3.23 gears
When i first got her. First mod was a street tune to wake her up.
Quickly had the windows tinted and added the stock Yukon Polished 20s and HIDs
I then gave her a 4/7 Drop and a set of 22" Centerline Sabre
I then did a 6L80E Swap and added a 3K Circle D MultiDisc Stall
She dynoed 288 RWHP on our Dynojet
I then purchased a used Procharger P1SC and put it the stock 4.8L with a 4" FMIC pushing 11psi. Bone stock 4.8L, stock exhaust manifolds, stock exhaust and deleted the cats, She dynoed 463 RWHP on 11psi.
She was whistling out the stock tail pipe so i took it to the muffler shop and had them cut the exhaust where it merges to a Y and did a 4" exhaust out the stock location with a 4" x 36 magnaflow.
She ran a 13.6 at Royal Purple Raceway
After that she was moving but i still didnt have any low end out of the hole because of the 4.8L so i decided to pull the engine and drop in a 5.3L i had their laying around, added Pacesetter 1-3/4" Long tubes, an Eaton True-Trac. also had the rest of the exhaust done. She dynoed 503 RWHP but gained alot more torque from the 4.8 to 5.3L. This was at 6psi because of the swap on the stock 4" procharger pulley. and was running out of fuel.

i then upgraded to 60lb injectors and added a Comp Cams 230/224, a Victor Jr Intake manifold, Wilson Manifolds 105mm Elbow, and a Nick Williams 102mm Throttle Body. and changed to a 3.20 Procharger pulley and that got the boost up to 11psi again.
She dynoed 569 RWHP with those mods and ran a 12.6.
Somewhere around August of this year i changed the appearence of the truck by changing the wheel and tire setup to 24" Centerline Archers changed the front clip to a Denali HD front end (minus the hood), and had the bumper, handles, and mirror caps colormatched.
Here are a few links to the runs at RPR

Since then, i have sold the procharger and im going to do a little turbo setup on it, and have it on stock wheels right now.
Thanks for your time guys, i know this is a long read.
