Both models feature a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that has been upgraded to deliver 850 hp and 800 lb-ft (1,084 Nm) of torque. Among the key changes made include the fitment of forged aluminum pistons, a forged twisted steel crankshaft, and CNC-ported cylinder heads. Specialty Vehicle Engineering has also developed a computer-balanced rotating assembly, stainless steel headers, and high-flow catalytic converters. The standard eight-speed automatic transmission has also been upgraded to handle the extra grunt.

As its name implies, the Yenko/SC Silverado Off-Road model is more focused on off-road performance and benefits from a 4-inch lift at both the front and rear. It is also equipped with black fender flares, a black sports bar, spotlights, a rugged-looking graphics package, retractable side steps, custom badges, a composite tailgate, and HD Recoil traction bars. It also has a heavy-duty rear sway bar assembly and bushings.

By comparison, the street-focused Yenko/SC Silverado Lowered has unique 6-spoke 22-inch wheels, a different graphics package, sports suspension that drops the truck by 2-inches at the front and 5-inches at the rear, a larger diameter rear sway bar, and a black tonneau cover.

Both models include three-year/36,000-mile limited warranties. Pricing details haven’t been announced, although we know that just 50 examples of each model will be built.
