Default UPD installed. I'm feeling the power!!

Install was a breeze! Took about 10 minutes. This is one mod that you can really feel...much more so than my high flow catback. Can't wait for HRP to re-open. I should have my ASP pulley soon. With exhaust, UPD and ASP pully, I should be in the 14s, no problem. For you regular cab pickup guys, 14s may not seem very fast, but for us heavy Tahoe and Suburban guys, it's rolling!

Good deal Patrick.

14's are awesome for a 'Burb or 'Hoe. They gotta weigh in around 5000-5500lbs.

I wonder what a heads&cam setup will do for ya or dare I say..........A BIG BORE/STROKER <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

LOL John. Yes, there is a big bore motor in my future. Hard to go from a 10 second F-Body to a 14 second SUV, but new projects are always fun. I'm really please with the UPD box. I got the black plastic one. Looks pretty stock. A dry nitrous nozzle will hide up in there nicely. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

What times were you getting before the TC? I was thinking of getting a TC for the Yukon and a cam. I hope there will be a GP or good price on a cam in the near future! I don't tow so would a Vigilante be a better performance buy than the Yank TT? I don't think I could go wrong going with one or the other. Do you have a shift kit with your TC?

Even faster since I was .07 seconds away from a 14 second run!

Best of luck with your project!

With all the regular bolt ons, good track like we have here in houston,and good weather, Patrick`s Tahoe will break into the 14`s easy..The converter is the big factor in the equation.. .35 to .50 reduction in ET, can easily be attained with a good stall coverter..

Patrick, ready for some grudge racing ? Dry shot against a heavy wet shot truck? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

LOL Brooke,

I don't have my dry kit yet and even if I did, I don't think 2wd on stock tires is up to holeshotting Big RedII with 4wd and the "Purple People Eater" at full boil coming out of the hole. Give me some ET streets and it would be a good race, but on stock tires you'd kill me off the line.
