Hello all,
my truck
95 chevy suburban 2500 6.5 turbo
373
4L80E
4x4
I was reasearching different ideas for my chevy burban for the last year. I now think I might be interested in the conversion to the 6bt. I do know you need some things for this conversion.
1. engine
2. trans adapter plate
3. intercooler
4. electronic changes
I am still battling in my mind to convert this or build my 6.5 up. If I go with my 6.5 I will have about 275-300 at the wheels. If I go with the 6bt I will have a little less then that stock if I am correct. I do not want to make tons of power. I just would like to hold 70-75 mph in my burban with some more hp to spare. I am looking at a 5 yr plan and I do not want to keep buying things to make more hp latter on. I do know this sounds confusing.

6.5 performance engine about 250 hp at the wheels in a burban
6bt stock with 4 inch exhaust, cold in take system, fuel turned up a little
That is what I am against in my mind. Also keep in mind I want it to sound like a dmax stock tone....NOT LOUD IN THE CAB....
Something like my 6.5 sounds with a 4 inch exhaust with 2 times the take off and pulling power.
Anyrate this is what I am against. What do you guys think.
Thanks joe
