Finally I started my project on my ride after waiting for 3 years because of the warranty which is almost due.

So let’s start with the specifications of my ride (STOCK):
1- ENGINE: L98 6.0 L NON DOD
2- TRANS: M32 OR 4L65E 4 SPEED OLD SCHOOL
3- DIFF: 3.27 NON LSD
Made a Dyno run and got 295.5 rwhp and 327 torque.

Here comes the fun part.

First modification:
Differential swap from 3.27 NON LSD to 3.45 LSD YES the video will show the installation process plus the Dyno run stock:

Second modification:
X-FORCE Exhaust Systems Stainless steel Headers with high flow CATS & 3" Stainless steel CAT back with chrome tips.

Last modification and more to come:
Harrop Stealth HTV1900 VE Commodore/G8 Supercharger Kit

Kit Includes
• Harrop HTV1900 supercharger assembly using Eaton TVS rotors
• Harrop supercharger inlet manifold and drive assembly
• Harrop 90mm (HTV1900-VE-IC) throttle body adaptor for the fitment of OE 90mm electronic throttle body (LS2/LS3/L76/L98)
• Models compatible with LHD export vehicles
• Intake duct
• Harrop air to water intercooler kit
• All brackets, belts and fasteners
• High flow 47lb injector set all models
• Cold air intake kit supplied as standard
We ran into aslight problem the 2 bar map sensor which came with the kit was for the old models so no Dyno run yet till I get the right sensor which I will post a video for it later but for now enjoy the installation process and fire up

Very nice, i like the videos. Is that dust under the hood from the dessert out there? Under your hood looks like it went thru a salt fog test!

Nice mods and vid. I suspect you are grinning from ear to ear now with that huffer under the bonnet.

Hey Distruct

sorry for bumping the thread. Well its not that old :P
nice project you got there. Sadly cant watch the videos no more seems like you took em off.
Well first of all i would like to ask you where and how did you get the 3.45 LSD from? am asking because i live in Amman-Jordan and i own a 08 Chevy Lumina SS with the same crappy transmition =/ and rear Axle (GW6) as yours.
And i am really interested in a LSD for easier drifts hehe ;)
any help would be really appreciated

And i hope you noticed improvements from upgrading from a non LSD to a LSD.
