LOL, right now I'd have to make sure the camera is on the passenger side. The Gov-Lock isn't in it yet. When I do I'll probalby have the wife do the burnout.

I finally got some minor results. No burnout video yet. I ran the Ho against my truck. Wife drove my truck, I drove the Ho. From a 55-100 roll the my truck pulled 1 length on me and then we leveled off to 100 where we bot let up. We then went from 30-100 and at kickdown the Ho put 1 length on my truck and to just over 100mph from there we didn't gain or lose any difference. They are damn near identicle. The Ho still has some more room to grow just in tuning alone let alone fixing the stock 174k mile trans, stock exhaust, and stock airbox.

It sounds like the Ho is putting down some good power, as it has to be quite a bit heavier than your truck.

I am more than happy with the results. Once it's dialed in I'm expecting 13's.

She's also very happy. I have to get an idle clip of both trucks up yet. I'm also going to post pic's of both trucks and a racing video if I can. The Tahoe looks so stock that if someone pulls up next to the wife with it still having the stock exhaust they are going to be very surprised. She wanted it to be faster than my truck and it honestly is going to be with less bolt on mods. I am so very happy with the results of how hard it pulls and how great the throttle response is right down to 1200rpm with the converter locked. The fuel milage is also as good as my truck on the highway and better in the city. I'm going to be doing more LQ4's like this for sure.

Nice work. I am sure the "174K mile trans" is loving the new power.

If it's beating or holding it's own against your truck in roll races I definitely think it will run 13's. If anything it will have the MPH for 13's. How (bad)is traction for it from a dig??
