Picked up a 99 Tahoe tonite...
LS
2WD
X-MN Highway Patrol
It's pretty fast and shifts great!
It's not a LS1-based motor, but I am not sure I will keep it past December...
How much HP would a Whipple add to it? <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
I already beat a Durango R/T and a Navigator realllllly bad.
I bet a 4.10 gear, slicks, a whipple, and some weight reduction and it would go low 13's.

It will take a LOT more than a whipple to get into the 13s. Those LT1 Tahoes are slugs! Page "El Es One" in the Texas section, he used to have a very nice blown LT1 Tahoe. I think it ran low 14s at best, and had several bolt-ons.
Lets see some pictures! Did you get a 2-door or 4-door? I'm guessing 4-door, otherwise it would be a Blazer.

The missing bodyside moldings have been reattached FYI.
Low 14's would be cool. This truck is a police package, and it shifts great, runs cool, has great brakes.
I'd like to pull another 5 car lengths on folks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I need to race ZBass28 in his 00 Silv to see how fast I am.
Truck is lite, it's 2WD.

Very torquey...
I can't find a buildsheet anywhere... No list of codes in the glovebox or in the driver's door jamb.
Feels like a l/s, maybe a locker?
Are you saying 15's stock or with a bunch of mods? High 15's? Truck really hauls from 40-90mph.

Hey, does it have a 115 or 120mph speedo? It shouldn't have the 98mph speed limiter like the "civilian" Tahoes.
Found this little tid-bit of info about them:
