11 second Yukon XL Denali 2wd?

[Sangster]

I'm interested to see everyone's opinions on what it would take (mods and $) to turn a stock 2013 Yukon XL Denali 2wd into an 11 second daily driver.

Requirements:
Must maintain towing capacity & auto level suspension feature
Must maintain daily driver reliability
No race gas....93 oct or E85 only
Would like 11's on drag radials, no ET Streets or slicks

For reference, best time so far is 15.45@92 with a 2.3 60 ft in FL summer heat/humidity.

and go....

According to 5 seconds of googling... 700+ hp needed to get 6000lbs to an 11.9, but thats probably best case scenario on slicks.

Need a rear end & trans that will survive in such conditions.

Heres a 10s longroof caddy with 1200+ hp

HPE 800 is only good for low 12's @ 842 hp...

Well thank you for that. So what mods and $ would it take to make "700+ hp"?

Ask @randeez How much he has spent so far

There are literally thousands of builds showing how to do that with an LS based engine. Thats the easy part.

That's very helpful....thanks.


Anyone else have any tips? What would you do specifically to double factory hp but maintain daily driver reliability?

 

[Sangster]

Maybe another forum would be more helpful.

Let me ask in a different way....

What mods have YOU done specifically to make 700 rwhp in your 6.2 Denali? Looking for experiences here.

Performancetrucks.net or sloppy mechanics would be a good location for that kind of information.

A good start would be a TVS2300 or 2650 and supporting mods.

The real question is how much are you willing to spend and how much work can you do yourself.

and still no 11sec slip



really though i've let out after 1/8 mile and coasted to a low 12@80mph.

i'll write a novel here in a little bit for you, also check out @67RS427 for the supercharged version, not sure if he's actually ran an 11 sec 1/4 yet, but truck is more than capable.
