  1. Engines/Performance/Tech Questions
    I know doing a turbo is a big project and I'm planning to do a turbo later as I want to build my 3.5 i5 to push as much power is it can.

I started to work on the truck by...
  4. Engines/Performance/Tech Questions
    Okay so I have a 05 Canyon 3.5l z71. The only "mod" is I'm running 31x10.5 on the stock wheels. But new wheels and larger tires (33x12.5) are on the way with a 4in suspension lift.

  7. I4/I5 Engine & Drivetrain
    Anyone ever think about removing powersteering and AC for some (little) performance gain? And how would you go about doing it if so? Just an idea I had. I know the whole "daily driver" factor will get shot out the window but I want to squeeze out as much power as I can by reducing the drag on...

Idle has been rough for a while, MPG down from 20 hwy to 17 hwy, so yeah, seen it coming. Haven't done a compression or leakdown test yet, but I am planning for the worst anyway. But I'm...
  12. Street/Strip/Auto-X/Off-Road
    So since buying my '06 2.8 2wd extended cab canyon back in '09 I've been in love with the truck as a whole. Rock solid reliable to the point where even my retarded ass can't break it. Anyway the only thing I always wanted more from my canyon was performance. It wasn't such a big deal when I...
