With 285/75/16's,de-screened mass,UPD intake,160 stat. and my new WESTER's Garage tune- 87/91 octane, improved everything else.
I made a good 100 mph pull down an on ramp last night, than I noticed another set of headlights caught up to me after I slowed to 75 mph...it was a black SS (I own a black 2500HD CCSB)- I casually rolled up 3 of my 4 windows and started egging the SS on...FINALLY I just yelled "GO" to the passenger and I punched it at 70-72 mph...my truck down shifted to 2nd gear and left him...at 110+ he never reeled me back in, (we had to slow down due to traffic) after dicing it up a little more we finally hit another opening...this time he went first but since my WESTERS tune has a quicker detent than stock I still got the jump and we looked at each other untill a solid 100 mph before slowing for traffic.
I know for a fact the PPG 3 wouldnt have come close to that truck (I had in for 25,000 miles)- ALL I can say is my truck sounds better,pulls alot harder and is SUBSTANTUALLY faster with the WESTERS tune. I cant wait to add a YANK 2600HD converter to help the 0-60's with my 6000+ lb truck-BJ
disclaimer- This was against "one" SS NOT ALL SS's....so dont go getting your panties in bunch if your warmed up SS is faster.

Good for you man. Not getting my panties in a bunch, but stock SS's won't downshift to second over 70 because of the 4.10's. You should run one from a stop and see how you do. If you still win, then that would be impressive. Either way, a win is a win and congrats to you
