No, this is all factory. This is a RST Jon Moss signed truck. Chevy made 500 of them. Headers, intake, suspension, disk brakes, custom interior( looks like the 69 SS camaro, orange and black). Foose designed the wheels, front bumber and rear roll pan. Lots of added stuff that I can't remember

It's an RST! RST stands for Really Slow Truck! haha
Nah, it holds it's own. They claim that it puts down around 350hp to the wheels, but I don't think it's that much. Maybe 300-330, but I'm just guessing. I've never put it on a dyno.
I've beat 2 newer Mustang GT's with it already. But that doesn't say much. Probably bad drivers

Sweet truck man! My boss has a 95' Impala SS that is supercharged and actually signed by the man who designed the car...John Moss. He signed it at a Super Chevy meet in Kentucky one year. That car will run like a scolded dog! Love it!!
Re: Thank you Jon Moss, Chip Foose and of course Barry Meguiar!
That 4.8L engine has 285 hp from the factory - at the crank. To get that thing to 350 rwhp would take MUCH more than headers and an intake. You would need to force-feed it to get it cranking that much. 350 at the wheels is A LOT of power at the crank.

Nice truck though, designed well for sure.
It's got the 5.3 in it not the 4.8, but it's still far fetched to get 350 to the wheels on this thing.....at least N/A I'm sure they were claiming hp to the crank and not to the wheels, the Rep just repeated it wrong to me. No worries though. I'm in love with this thing

For sure man - it's a nice truck - I didn't mean anything negative by what I said at all. I figured somebody who would pay for a truck like that would understand anyway!
