LOL its still pretty slow...as I was debating this with Scott awhile back many people don't realize how heavy a Avalanche is. I have recently thought about going to back to the factory tire size 265/70/17 to help it move easier, currently have 275/65/18 on NNBS Z71 wheels.

I like this idea.

Did you just throw the crate LS1 in or did you do a cam swap or anything before putting it in.

And I know how you feel about adding stuff to the DD, I'm on the prowl for a project vehicle as well.

The only prob with messing with ur dd is u don't have a backup when its down but when u have a toy plus dd then u wanna play with both and gets hard, for me it did. My case I ended up buying a pos honda civic for $100 to use as a dd that way I have to inspiration to put money into it jus drive it .looks like **** but 20$ in gas last 2 weeks.
