Default Video taken inside 0-80 this weekend...

Considering what most here are used to with juiced LS1 F-Bodys and Gen-III blown 6.0's, this won't look like much, but I still have plenty of fun with my old-school 5.7L blown Small Block Chevy Tahoe.

Shifts are being handled by a 4L80-E I built myself run by TCI transmission controller. A stock 13" converter with a crumby 1900-RPM stall speed is in between until I order the TCI Street Fighter. That's what happens when you run out of funds while building your dream trans.

Final speed was somewhere around 80-85. Enjoy!

Once it got moving, it seemed to be pulling well. Sounds good, too. Never under-estimate a GM truck

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I do have my share of fun with the Mustangs and the Rice. Most are clueless until they hear it.

That's a Tazzo performance accellerometer. Like a G-Tech but a little more accurate. I have a G-Tech and it always posts numbers on the high side.
