Thanks for the input guys! I orderd the 6.0l max with 4.10s. I will install a tune, & exhaughst. That should be enough to go get some grocries.

Thanks! I hope to break into the 12s @ low elevation with stock tires. There are guys running mid -high 12s with a setup similar to mine. The elevation & lift are killing me.

I have the 07 Vmax with 410s Corsa Exhuast and drop in K&N(for now) It needs to be tunes very bad but I have beatean a new tundra from a roll when it was stock and lost to the same one from a dead stop about a truck both ways to 85. The truck runs awesome but the TM is crazy. I want to get a EFI live Flash scan but don't know much about it. You will love the truck just wish it had the 6speed. These trucks are so detuned its not funny. PS I ran 14.7 stock and its a 4wd cc LTZ.

Same exact truck I orderd, ours is silver birtch. The one we drove only had 3.73s. I can't imagen why GM would shoot there self in the foot like that! They should have it set to limit power just enough to keep the tires from spinning. I read where the tundra has a 6 speed, and is avaliable with 4.30 gears. They are supposed to run 14.50s stock. I think the VMAX could run that or faster with less TM. I know the tundra has TM also but it is alot less aggressive, only seems to kick in when the tires spin. Anyway 14.7 is still quick for a stock truck. The TM is probably robbing all the extra HP from your mods anyway.

My buddys very much disapointed with his 07 avalanch 6.0 LTZ . first off his 02 denali put back to stock would eat it espcially down low. and secondly I pulled only slightly with the wifes new 07 tahoe 5.3,we ran 3 time all from a roll.once going up a long grade. He's disapointed with the lack of doggy power,and dying for a radix.And dont bother with a diablo.it fried the PCM,he sent it to diablo and they sent back the fried PCM and said have the dealer tow it and charge it to GM. Diablo has no problem screwing GM.
