DAMN! That is nice. Especially the sleeper package (Under 27K I think) you can get. That was done off slicks as well. DAMN DAMN. All I can say. Great job!

That's not chevy, it's a dealer. Only that dealer is keeping the waranty. Nice though. I bet that it's maxed out though.

Blown Chevy

The price is $31,995.00 and no resale. Still not as fast as a Lightning, and not very sturdy. ****

I'm calling BS on their dyno sheet http://www.chapmansupertrucks.com/images/dyno.gif The tq and hp numbers cross at about 5250 rpm on their base run, but up around 6250 for the test run.

Not bad.. I got to give them a little credit. If I was a chevy man I would definitely pimp it. And its certainly more rare than an L. Did it beat the L in the video, I could not tell.

Great call. I didn't see the HP Torque charts before. Just so everyone knows, HP and Torque curves have to cross at 5250 RPM's. It doesn't matter if it's a moped or a top fuel dragster. Seems to me they paid some secretary 5/hr to overlay the graphs. Just shift the graphs until they lines cross at 5250 RPM's.

I do give the dealer credit for some competition.
