SVE Enhances 2024 Chevy Silverado With Serious 800 HP Tune And Other Improvements
by AutoExpert | 19 October, 2023
Earlier this year, Chevrolet made some subtle changes to the 2024 Silverado, and the most significant was the addition of a diesel engine to the ZR2 trim. The rest of the engine lineup, including the 2.7-liter turbo-four, 5.3-liter, and 6.2-liter V8s, remained unchanged.
For those who crave more power, Specialty Vehicle Engineering has introduced an enticing upgrade package for the 2024 Silverado. The Yenko/SC Silverado Off-Road by SVE is their latest performance offering for Chevy's truck, available in two power-packed versions.
This upgrade is exclusive to 2024 crew cab and double cab models in various trims like LTZ, RST, ZR2, LT, and Z71, all equipped with the 10-speed automatic transmission. You can opt for the supercharger kit for either the 5.3-liter V8 or the larger 6.2-liter V8. Choosing the more affordable option will grant you access to a staggering 700 horsepower, while the higher-end version takes it up a notch to 800 hp.
SVE works their magic on the engines with blueprinted aluminum blocks, a new twisted steel crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons, upgraded cylinder heads, and their own supercharger assembly. To complement the power boost, there's also a custom stainless steel exhaust system.
Furthermore, SVE addresses these impressive output numbers with their "Boost-By-Wire" system, allowing owners to control the supercharger's boost with the accelerator pedal. Press the pedal further, and the supercharger responds in a controlled manner. This system, according to SVE, makes driving the truck a more enjoyable experience.
Aesthetic upgrades include new graphics, distinctive wheels, and special badges on the hood insert. For the 2024 Chevy Silverado, SVE intends to produce 50 examples of both the 700-hp and 800-hp versions of the high-powered truck.
