Thumbs up Tahoe Needed More Cowbell
The Radix only came with a 3.4" pulley, so the Tahoe was only seeing about 6psi. uhoh.gif Definite power but still wasn't what I was lookin for, so we went ahead and threw a 2.9" pulley on there.

She is now seeing ~10psi and WOW she can scoot! Any blip of the throttle and you can hear the whining from under the hood. Will be very interesting once we take the grocery getter to the track!

Looking into converters now and a new tranny is also in the near future....

sounds like a blast.

Can you see the look on the driver in the new Corvette when you win?

Nice

IMO, Do the verter and tranny together... so as to not have the stock trany puke into an expensive convertor... IMO and the truck would only be down once.

Just need to throw the train horns on there for the added affect!
