I've been told by Dave at yank not to go anything above 3000+ because of how heavy my truck is, they also said at around 2600-2800 is were my blower makes the most power and will put me in the power band..

My tbss with the system in it was 280 less than my buddies tahoe.

Also th tvs2300 on the tahoe went from a yank2800 to a 3200 night nd day difference he was also runnimg 4.10 gears and I think he wa able to get a 12.8 out of if vs a 13.3

from the performance stand point i think i would benefit that extra 2000 RPM's im gonna give yank a call and have them change it to a 3000 RPM. from your experience how'd you like the yank SC ?

 

[NORCAL SS]
