Who said we can't drive in Tx? When is the national meet? Maybe plan for that. Not to hijack the thread.

 

Is the 290 crank hp or wheel hp or brake hp or what?

 

The HP is crank HP run to SAE J1369 procedure

 

Thanks

Just called the dealer... didn't know anything.?. Will it be awhile before it is avalible in Nebraska? Or did I get a lazy sales person at the Performance counter?

 

I emailed GMPD: heres the responce: Hello Eric,

19212670 turbocharged engine power upgrade kit: Currently this is on
backorder from GM. The estimated time when GM will have stock available
is supposedly December 22. Unfortunately GM has yet to release any data
on the part. I apologize for not being of more assistance.

Thank you,

The kicker is they already have my $$$$$ what gives? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr damn GM

 

So another good question now to ask is? The drivetrain going to hold up? IE: Clutches,pressure plate,throw-out bearing? CV-axles? etc....GM going to be installing alot of these now? will there be an upgrade for this as well???????????

 

That's why it is so nice to have Bill (More Torque More HP) on this forum. It is nice to get good reliable info right from the source!

Thanks Bill, you have no idea how important this is to many of us!

 

I tried GM Parts House and they didn't list the part. Called my parts guy and he had trouble finding the part number. Finally found it and told me it wouldn't be available until the end of the month. I told him what GM Parts Direct wanted for the part and he said it was below his cost. Of course, when you factor in their shipping charges it becomes easier to understand what they are doing. Also, I don't like ordering a part and then finding out that it is on backorder.
