[MBRP Tech]

I figured being a forum with tons of LS fans as well as gear heads, this would be a good spot to show you one of the projects we are currently working on…Colorado Speed. We started this project well over a year ago and has slowly progressed to being close to completion soon.

With a long history of building GM project vehicles, MBRP Inc have been presented with an opportunity to work with General Motors to design and build a full on drift truck project.

While we are building this truck with GM as a DRIFT project, GM will also have our truck on display at many of their larger shows and events across Canada. MBRPinc will also have many other shows, events and various venues where we will also be showing the project all across North America. Watch for us at various drag strips and drift events, and we also hope to run the Texas mile and the Silver State Classic events as well.

We have had the fortune of being able to work with some of the industrys biggest manufactures for sponsorships. I will compile a complete list as well for you guys to see who has been involved with this project to date.



This is the way things started...


A stock 2007 Z71 regular cab short box Colorado was delivered to get the ball rolling as well as a LS7 crate motor and a T-56 six speed transmission. With this combo being stout to begin with, we knew we were going in the right direction…but once again ATI Pro Charger jump on board with one of their F1A’s to give this LS7 some more horsepower…aprox 1100hp with 14lbs of boost.

As the truck was being torn apart we sent the motor to the guys at EPP to tear it apart and put some killer internals in to handle the extra boost.

Here is the before picture, and then what it's going to look like when completed...
