Hello
My wife and I just repurchased our 2017 Denali awd after I sold my Jeep and saw it was for sale by the previous owner
Pristine tricoat metallic
I'm looking to make it a potential sleeper..at least able to keep up with her twin turbo 400hp/415 torque Aviator
Tuning,cai, exhaust ?
Anyone here have some ideas or links
to improve on it I'd like to see
Thanks
 
Doesn't get better than rebuying the same car you once loved. Welcome to the forum!

Adding 100 hp on the Denali is doable, but the is some work involved and it won't be dirt cheap. I think your safest option is to discuss with a local tuner. A remap should give you 30-40 hp at least with a proper map which is a good start.
 
It would be
Have you seen the guy that says he created a Hellcord (Hellcat powered Honda Accord)?
If I thought there was any chance that that was real.....
"Hellcadia" or " Hellcadenali"?
Hey if he can shove a 700hp motor in an Accord how hard could it be? 😁

Okay, now I'm interested. Give me some more info on this, please!
 
Basically a photoshopped beater Honda Accord that this guy went viral making videos of..no way it has a Hellcat...though I kind of wonder why noone talks about an ls swap for these ..I did anyway until I started looking into it.
Money and lack of interest in the platform would be two large detriments

There was a short awhile back that was titled lsx swap for my acadia and I fell for it like others did..
First you see an older acadia that sounds great , but then he pulls out on the shot and you see its his Vette next to it that is making the v8 rumble...
 
It's a shame no one's done it. As for the LS swap, I can't say for certain, but I think I've seen something on the internet, it could've been people asking around just to see if it's even possible.
