the 4.56s and 35"s bring the ratio back to almost stock but it still does move pretty well for a lifted Tahoe.
I also know what gears and stall are like with my truck. lol

good info buddy..

i also just found out, the Tahoe wheelbase, seems to be shorter than a RCSB. lol

**Tahoe wheelbase is 116 inch....

**Silverado single cab wheelbase is 119 inches!!!

**The Extended cabs and Crew Cabs wheelbase goes as 133-143 inches!

**Suburban wheelbase 131 inches...


so yea, the Tahoe has the shortest wheelbase!!

now im itching my head? the Tahoe is a hair shorter than a RCSB... lol ?? Its still a big boi, but its not what people make it out to be. I know Im prob under 5000lbs.

Compared to the Hummer H2 which is basically on a slightly beefed-up Tahoe chassis but with a lead-lined body @ 6455lbs curb weight.
The Suburban weight should be listed as well. But I do believe the Hummer was based on the suburban frame atleast the H1.

H1 is a completely different chassis. It shares nothing but the drivetrain with GM.

You'll need nitrous or forced induction to break into the 12s in a Tahoe. Or every bolt on, a large cam and serious weight savings. FI will be much more daily driveable.

No idea what mine runs at the track, but it did 0-60 in about 4.1 seconds before the converter with the mods below.
