I should have added "with those mods". My bad...

Thats why I made my original post. A big torque converter and slicks would really help get him towards the 13.8 part, but 99mph is going to take quite a bit more performance parts to achieve.
For comparison, cashdudehomie has a reg cab with a LQ4 swap. He has an Intake, dual exhaust, ASM Headers, ASP Pullies, Yank TT3000, 4.10s, Eaton, Hypertech, 160 Tstat, LS1 Fans. He ran 13.8 @ 97. He also has a some traction issues, which usually result in slower ETs, but higher MPH. Thats a lighter single cab with those mods running 2 mph less than the questionable excab vho.

I would think in the long run the SS would be faster. Just look at parish. I would rather have a Z-71 with a 6.0 LQ9 and 4L80E swap than an AWD SS. At least with 4WD, you can switch it to 2WD for economy and burn-outs and then back to 4 HI for kickass acceleration. My '00 Z-71 runs good (mostly stock) and grips harder in 4HI. I was playing around with it and in 4HI, it has awesome traction, even in rainy weather.
Just my opinion.

And AWD burnouts are more impressive than 2wd.I used to play the push button traction game in my Z71. I'm glad I don't have it now, one less thing to worry with.
