This is turning into a 6l80 thread lol. I've done plenty of 4wd launches with bed fully loaded to 6k lbs. with no issues. Like said above its in the tune. Gonzo I believe you've convinced me to do headers maybe soon. Was worried about the noise.

no. I have both trans right now. 8l90 has been nothing but issues. And plenty of k2 regular cabs are boosted and doing just fine.

I have a video of a 70 to 130 pull at about 9 psi. It spins the tires to about 100 and I have my buddy maning my laptop. We are making about 13.5 psi now.

New girlfriend with bigger ****? Oh hell yes and bigger **** have never ever hurt my feelings...promise. However any girlfriend at all and the wife would murder me for sure lol! BTW on my little 3.7 RCSB Colorado (backup) I did away with the flowmaster that it had on it when I got it and had a shop put a Magnaflow 12255 on today. 1/2 the noise level at the very least and hauls *** just as good. Should I do the Sierra now or what? Not sure what to do about exhaust other than headers. Also what brand are yours again? Not spending 1500 though I could do a fuel system for that almost.
