    My immaculate '95 Tahoe 2-Door- I doubled the horsepower

    I'm a life-long Chevy guy- "no effin way" is my vote. It's probably easier on an LS than on the old style SBC, but I'm still skeptical. I traded even. The guy thought I was lying about the Tahoe's condition. The dash wasn't even cracked. I had one of those fitted carpets over it, to try and...

    I'd actually prefer fewer things were automatic, but I'll get by. joe

    My immaculate '95 Tahoe 2-Door- I doubled the horsepower

    Would cam and headers add 200 HP to a smallblock Ford? Somehow, I doubt it. Anyway, I already specified I didn't want to affect reliability and driveability. I forgot to add, earlier, but the '95 Tahoe was too perfect and too perfectly stock. It deserved preservation, not bast..., er...

    LOL, I've only taken one vanity shot- it's the one in my driveway. The profile shot is a picture I got on line. joe

    Also, I appreciate y'all catching the humor. Written stories don't always come through, especially for cranky old bastids like me. I'm not sure I'm up to rarified air. I'm still just blue collar trash [and proud about it]. joe

    My immaculate '95 Tahoe 2-Door- I doubled the horsepower

    In all seriousness, the extra power is obvious. The rack and pinion steering is much better than the recirculating ball, and I even found a deal on Goodyear Eagles, for the 22s, for it. When I was young, I drilled about a bazillion holes in my breather. If there was any underhood heat to...

    My immaculate '95 Tahoe 2-Door- I doubled the horsepower

    I was looking for the cheapest way to increase the factory rating of 200 HP, without hurting reliability or driveability. I finally decided the simplest, cheapest way to 400 HP was a trade, even up. I have an '07 Escalade now. I miss the Tahoe but the Escalade is a nice drive. It's grown on...

    Come on now, ain't nothin' wrong with a little midday gunfire. I remember, 50 years ago, when those apartments on the NE corner of 61st and Peoria were were new and pretty fancy. I played my first ever foosball in their game room at the office; with The Doobie Brothers' 'Black Water' playing on...

    I read that the cops in Tulsa were especially popular with audiences. I don't remember why. joe

    Be a little bit careful. Lots of flooded cars from TX end up here in OK. joe
