Dan~ Funny thing is that I has gone faster than your time with less boost

That thing is pimp. I am just wondering why they went to the smaller turbo??? It says that it will now run 13.XX, but with the old turbo it went 12.XX. What gives?????

The only one I know of that's faster is the Lingenfelter TT 427 Escalade EXT, but it's .1 faster and 1 mph slower. I think it's pretty impressive that the Livernois truck did it with a bone stock engine and the only performance mods being the turbo kit and a catback.

The smaller turbo is much more fun on the street. It spools instantly and the truck "feels" faster. The GT-67 that was on the truck for the 12-sec pass, but had a slightly longer spool time since the truck has a stock converter.

I'm impressed. Those are some great times for something that heavy on 24"s'....especially considering they run high 15's at best when stock. I can't hate on that truck...it's sweet.

ok, ok, i'm impressed. I just always assumed a turbo 6.0L would be much faster than a whipple 6.0L that was the same weight etc. I guess I was wrong. Doesn't matter. That thing is SWEET and I would take it in a heartbeat if i has the $$$$$

Really? I thought it was a little quicker than that stock. I never ran my Tahoe before mods. Well, I haven't run it at the track since mods either Unless you count the time it blew up on the first pass

My friends Denali went 15.9x stock, I just figured they were close. Our local track is about at dead sea level, and we usually run good numbers here. Bottom line, that truck is SWEET!
