The RCSB will run 13.90 @ 99 or so. I dont remember what the Tahoe ran, however I would imagine it will be someplace in the 14's. Run him for the fun of it.

the tahoe i'd expect around a 14.7 or so. a really good one may run a 14.4.

i raced him once before i got my exhaust and i had a 87 hypertech tune. at 90mph his rear bumper was at my front tires. since then i have put in a cutout, changed intakes, got a nelson tune and i have a shaners S2 coming in around the midddle of next week.

it was the top end where he got me last time. i feel like my truck is alot stronger up top now, but i lost a little down low. not much though.

he has no clue wtf he's doing when it comes to adding power to it. he didnt know what i meant when i mentioned changing pullies and getting a nelson tune. he just wants to put gas in it and drive it wander if i can talk him out of his radix i could just steal it and he wouldnt even know the difference
