I'm probably forgetting a few other mods

I feel like you're truck should be much faster. I saw in your profile you said you were doing the cam install today. Was this time with or without the cam

 

[Maximus1]

The cam and transmission are in and the HP custom tune was done after the install. I ran it yesterday 7.4 seconds was the 0-60 MPH. Like I said earlier some people embellish the truth on their 0-60 mph and some post their 60 ft time instead of their 60 mph. I'm still waiting on my heads. Once they are installed I will have the tune adjusted and see where it's at then. Oh by the way I beat a new 2016 Denali off the line and pulled him by a least 6 car links before I let off.

How much was the trans

 

[Maximus1]

I ran it again and it picked up slightly at 7.012

$1600 + $550 to install I could have done it myself but I don't have a lift and I didn't want to do it on the ground

Hope much torque management do you have left in your tune? At what percent throttle does your truck enter PE? What tuning are you running and what's your fuel enrichment. All this things matter to making your truck jump off the line quicker and entering power enrichment sooner. From the factory it's basically disabled. What's your PE delay set to? Do you have a wideband and what tuning suite do you use? Is abuse mode disabled? Who's doing your tuning? They must have you on a very safe and scanned back tune to protect you and themselves.

 

[about20ninj45]

Scale'd* , I hate this damn up phone lol

 

[Maximus1]

You leaving the truck intake on it or going with something like a FAST intake or an LS6?

Just the stock truck intake. I've been told that these intakes are really good and you don't really get much if any gains from an aftermarket intake

I'm not exactly sure on the specifics of the tune but it's a custom HP tuner program. I asked if the torque management was disabled and it was. I can get the specifics from him. I get unlimited tunes as well. He told me after I install the heads that I would need to retune it. So really I'm waiting on the heads. I changed some stuff on the heads so I may not get them until next weekend. I do know that when he did the install it took about 6 hours

What does PE mean? Performance Enhancement?

Chris Bales is the guy doing my tune. Have you ever seen the TV show Street Outlaws? He has tuned most of those guys cars and he's been on the show with Chuck tuning his white mustang. I think he tunes Chief's car along with a couple others.

This is correct. The truck intake flows as well as the LS6 intake, it just produces a lower-RPM power band. Larger aftermarket intakes aren't much of any help unless you have a bigger cam.

Does he tune The Farm Truck and Dung Beetle?

 

[Maximus1]

Also one thing that was brought to my attention (not that it means much) is that the stock 2004 Tahoe's 0-60mph is 9 seconds, so I've almost shaved 2 second's off from stock. I have to keep telling myself that this truck weighs 5,600lbs. It's not like the 91 mustang I had. This is what makes this more challenging, to take a heavy Tahoe that nobody expects to be fast at all and blow their doors off. Anyone can make a Mustang fast, not to many people can make a Tahoe fast.

 

[Maximus1]

Does he tune The Farm Truck and Dung Beetle?

I'm not sure but I can ask him. I will see him next Friday or Saturday to get my heads. He only lives about 10 miles from my house

Power enrichment. Plays a huge factor when going WOT. I thought you had the HP suite yourself, was fine help you out but you should be in decent hands.

I liked the show before it became way too scripted. Unfortunately, it's about as real as Pawn Stars. No doubt they have some fast cars using the TV money, but do any of them have real jobs. The show "Jumped The Shark" when they raced against Gas Monkey.

 

[Maximus1]

I'm not sure about the real jobs. But I do know that some of them own their own performance shops and that's their source of income. I'm sure that they get paid per episode to be on the show but I don't know how much.

 

[Maximus1]

Here is what my bully dog said my times are. Now I only use this as a gauge to monitor transmission temperature and other things that the dashboard doesn't provide not a tune. As stated before I have the HP custom tune. I'm not sure how accurate this is either. I did my 0-60mph with a stopwatch and I got around 7 seconds

They have done some footage for an episode here in Baytown at Royal Purple Raceway, on Friday nights they have a safe street night. $20 and you get to run a NHRA sanctioned 1/4 mile track in your street rod/ daily driver. I've seen from Mercedes to Pintos go down the track.
I wasn't there that weekend when the S/O were there but it was all over RPR's Facebook.
There isn't many daily drivers that put out really great times. Most of the times even the factory hot rods only do low 10s, and high 9s in the quarter. It's when you get the guys that spend the big bucks do you see some low ETs.
