My Buddy has a Caddy like that an he ran a flat 13 sec quarter mile with a few mods. There is a large market opening up for that car. You whipped one, your truck is an absolute beast. Almost makes me want to buy a Chevy cause the parts are out there!!!

Nice hoe Whitt. Sleeper!
Did you cut up the hood liner so the engine could breathe via the cowl induction, or are you using the liner at all?
With the Radix pulley at 2.8" it seemed to me like there was a LOT of engine heat building under there so I cut holes in my hood blanket and then, for cosmetic purposes, lined the edges of the holes with the black plastic split wire looms.. 3/4". I don't know that it helped performance but I feel better knowing the sc is getting some air to cool down a lil.
Again... NICE Tahoe! I know I'd do a double take seeing it coming down the street and give you the "thumb" as you passed by.

I'm not running a liner under the hood so that I can take advantage of the extra cooling.I'm running my cold air for the intake from under the front valaince,I'm also running a bigger heat exchanger below the front valaince and a Vortec coolant reservoir for added coolant capacity.I also use Evans coolant and a Evans water pump which allows me to run more ingition timing.

Damnit, Whitt.....we're close enough that you can give me a shot at the ole Hoe sometime. 
Nice kill, and I'm ready to see this phantom SUV Jim is always telling me about.
