Default Wheres the Tahoes at???

Id like to see some of the Tahoes in this group, get some ideas for changing mine up a little bit.

Heres the Gibbs for now, just took the Caddy wheels off and put the JGP wheels back on for summer.

I have only seen a handful of JG Tahoes. Sweet lookin truck.

I have an 02 Tahoe, and an 02 Denali XL.

Tahoe is getting an LSA blown 408, and lots of goodies. Denali is a beater AF, just making it run better for work truck life.

Tahoe as she sits:

I thought the lsa blower in a 408 wasn't " optimal"

Seen em on top of 427s

Perfect if youre trying to make torque and not top end. It is a 6000lb truck, after all. Doesnt need 1000hp at 7000rpm.

Hoping to make 5-700lbft by 4k on my set up.

What style 408? Lq4 based or ls3 based? Just found a ls3 short block with heads for 2400, wondering if I should ****** it up. Your right about the torque, I have a denali Xl and I'm trying to wrap my head around where I want the torque at.

I'll bore it out to 4.07 at the next rebuild. It is a concern, but not enough of a concern for me to have scrapped my 408 plans.
