Racing season is just about over down here in Fl the weather is starting to get HOT! Never heard of an Awd Tahoe... What is your 60'?

can't wait. i don't think they made alot of them. it has stabilitrac and a borg warner t-case. it 60's around 1.9 but its mainly due to the horible awd design. my t-case has a open diff kinda like a one wheel peel rear. when the front tire spins the power all goes there. then it uses the brakes to stop it from spining to transfer power. when that happens it locks the brakes down on it until it changes gears or thinks its ok to let go. my best time was leaving the line on almost no boost. i can leave with 10psi but it pulls the front right tire about an inch off the ground and all the power goes straight to it. so in short i bought a silverado SS case to replace mine. sorry for the long *** post.

Better start towing a safety vehicle behind yours as your tranny built or not won't last long running low 12's or high 11's. But I'm amazed that its held up this long.. you must drive like you have kids in the car or something

The 4door limited? That is fast. The 502 w/200shot is a nice combo.... Thinking for the money I should have just built a spray motor.... But I love the WHINE!

I've previously run 12.98 @ 104 with my old LS1 347/mp112 (460rwhp/475rwtq), then replaced that with LS6 383/122hh (500rwhp/540rwtq) and ran 12.70 @ 106 before breaking the Auburn Pro LSD in my 10-bolt.
Just installed a 9.5" 14-bolt (went back to a 3.42 gearing from the 3.90 in the 10-bolt) and retuned to pick up another 50hp/50tq...barring any break downs I will be at the track on Mar 4 for new times.
