How fast have you gone? I have been 15.3 at 94mph. Stock with a tune and no muffler. Just curious, because it seems this gmt900 section is full of 6.2 bullys with there gobs and gobs of power... Im hoping to purchase longtubes and an intake this summer. Gonna see where that puts me. 4.10s would help this slug out too. No i am not swapping in a 6.2! Although it would fly

Mine is a slightly bigger 4wd truck but I've gone 15.44@89.5. Based on your mph that 2wd drivetrain is really helping. I had too much wheel hop launching in 2wd and didn't try switching out on the big end. That run with the wheel hop did gain me over a mph though, so I am sure that I could launch and switch and get a better time.

That's a good time for a big 4x4 crew. And I was quite shocked by the 94mph as well haha. I think my 3.08 gear helps the mph. But I wouldn't mind sacrificing mph(gear swap) for a 14 second slip.

Unfortunately my truck still isn't as fast as a ccsb 4x4 with a 6.2L stock. My dad bought one and smoked me basically on the day he brought it home.
