1,050 Hp And Seating For Seven

What do you do when the bar for streetable horsepower keeps moving higher and higher? You stay ahead of it by building a 1,050hp daily driver. At least that’s what Nick Priegnitz of DuramaxTuner.com did. But Nick had something other than a run-of-the-mill Duramax powered pickup in mind when he set out to build the ultimate daily— instead, he would do it with a ¾-ton Suburban. You know, in case the rest of the family ever wanted to know what four-digit horsepower feels like.

Built as a demo vehicle, the premise was to highlight how all the parts in the DuramaxTuner catalog could be used to not only produce 1,000 horsepower, but do so in a refined and 100-percent drivable fashion. Originally equipped with an 8.1L big-block, the ’04 Suburban was converted to Duramax power by Duraburb Inc of Apopka, Florida prior to making the trip north to Priegnitz’s facility in Illinois.
