2021 Yenko/SC Silverado California Edition has 710 horsepower

Specialty Vehicle Engineering has been taking various cars and trucks and making them faster for a long time. Its latest offering is the 2021 Yenko/SC Silverado California Edition, which started life as your typical Chevrolet Silverado pickup. Once the guys at SVE are done with it, it’s much faster than it was originally. The California Edition truck can be built on any 2021 6.2-liter Crew Cab or double cab Silverado model, including the trail boss, LT Trail Boss, RST, LTC, or high country with short beds or standard beds.

The Yenko/SC Silverado California Edition comes in either double or crew cab guise, and is powered by a supercharged version of General Motors’ LT1 6.2-liter V-8. SVE uses a 3.0-liter twin-screw supercharger, coupled with upgrading cooling systems, and high-flow intake and exhaust systems to get that 710-hp rating.

SVE also upgrades the chassis to ensure owners can make the most of the extra power. Beefy six-piston calipers with vented rotors feature at the front axle, housed within standard 22-inch wheels. A sports suspension system lowers the truck (by 2 inches front and 5 inches rear) and includes upgraded Fox shocks. A new sway bar and bushings at the rear also help to get the power to the ground during strong acceleration.
