I'm sure the guy in the 08 Tahoe is at home wondering why an old ass Tahoe flew past him today. helps to not have a speed limiter and all that torque management getting in the way! I towed a 6x12 trailer before and after the tune and it is a night and day difference..Gotta luv BB tuning!!

Just ran a s500 tonight with my vmax and pcm4less street tune by Alvin, my buddy said I blew by him @ 130mph and he could not catch me at all. My gauge shows 100 so I cant tell you except for the GPS, but I can hit 140mph in this truck.

You will be happy with your mail-orderr tune, get a live tune better yet, get a dyno tune even more better its also the best.

My truck is actually built to do 150. Including my V rated tires which are rated that. With the tall gears which could be taller than 3.73s, my truck is built for cruisng. Its nothing to do 100mph at 2600 rpms when my redline is 6000 rpms. If I take it above 150 then Ill get a cage for the driveshaft. But I can tell you not 1 harmonic is to be felt.

Anything will fail, I get that, for christ sake you can get a tire blow out at 70mph. Does that mean dont do 70mph or near it?? But yea, precautions is key here. Luckly my truck has a 1 peice drive shaft with a balancer on it not the 2 piece. I really dont see any need to buy a aftermarket 1 piece or strengthen shafts, unless run those speeds for a very extensive time. Or if you have 4.30s or lower, with big diameter tires. I can see problems there.

question, so doing 150 will make driveshaft fail, or the tune will?

Its many options to get a strengthen shaft. Its more safe than sorry sorta deal. Drag, strip cars etc, its optional to put a drive shaft cage that will catch the shaft if it fails. Sorta like putting roll bars in a vehicle for extra precautions in case of a roll over. The tune will never fail its electronic. Tune will fail when your pcm dies. Certain precautions we do with anything. A engine that spins to 8000 rpm would need to be weighted and balance before testing it at those rpms.

If you want to go those speeds, I would say higher gears 3.42 or numerically lower number. That way you can travel that speed while spining less rpms, which equals less driveshaft rotations. Its a reason Crown Victoria are dogs from stoplights. Ever see a cop u-turn and you hear it ROAR cause he is flooring the engine? Its because its geared for highspeed chases 80-130 pluss they shine and can drive that speed all day long. Its geared for stuff like that. But would take away a little from off the start acceleration.
