So, my conclusion from this (respectfully), if you want your truck to be faster from 0-100 mph, the Whipple is ideal no matter what, if you want more low end power, ideal for towing etc. TVS 1900 is ideal.
Thanks for the very detailed response. Exactly the information I was looking for. My truck is a heavy *** Avalanche so low end torque is key.

Mine does also in 2wd, at almost any speed for that matter especially from a stop. This only happened in 4wd. I haven't noticed it happening any more though, it only did it at the track.

Does anyone have proof that the ABS does apply the brakes even with traction control and stabilitrac turned off?
You know honestly I have never pulled my fuses and have never had a problem. My truck is like yours except turbo and ext cab and it will spin all 4 for a second (old setup) and just go. The traction light blinks a few times but I have never felt or got the impression my brakes were coming on at all. All I do is line up, turn traction and stabilitrac off by keeping the button pressed and that's it go. With the systems on you can def feel the difference as the truck try's to maintain traction for sure so don't think pulling the fuses is necessary.

Also very nice detailed build by the way, I appreciated threads like this as a lot of information here gets skewed by the Internet or he said she said stuff. Your information is first hand experience with numbers and facts to back it up and I thank you for sharing that with us. This is a great and very informative site because of people like you.

I have a quick off subject question for you, is New Era a dealer for Injector Dynamics? If so can you either post or pm me the pricing on them?

Transmission is holding up perfectly fine, 6l80/6l90 trans tuning is my specialty

I don't have a speedo video unfortunately, sorry. Is there a question I can answer instead, that would relate to seeing a video of the speedo?

I got another up close look at this beast Sunday. Everything is so perfect and clean. Can't believe how fast this truck is.

I have personally felt the brakes kick in on my truck after disabling TC/SC, but usually only when getting sideways or doing donuts. It's really irritating
