Just saw this black bear video versus stock quarter mile

There's no way that 14.995 time is accurate- you had a 2.319 RT on that pass.

I might be a post stalker, but you're just an ass. Lol

I admit I'm a bit blunt...

Don't ever admit anything. It's "I'm sorry, officer, but that's not my blunt."

.5 a second may not be shit on the strip but it will help you get around town quicker lol

Nice. What was 7798?

S/C'd charger iirc, there's a lot of camaros, mustangs, vettes, hellcats that run right in the 12-10 second range for test and tune.
The other run was against a Durango RT with intake, exhaust, and tune...i should have him covered next time I find him
I usually try and line up against another truck or stock-ish 4cyl import, about everyone's cool tho it's all fun

The general rule I've always known is it takes 10HP to gain 1/10 of a second. I don't believe that tune alone netted 50HP, but it could've removed lag from the electronic throttle's response, removed torque management, etc. which would apply whatever power the engine had (even if stock HP) slightly quicker, helping to achieve such results.

An honest half a second just from a tune is quite a notable gain.

If I were so focused on being a speedster, the Tahoe is close to the last vehicle I'd own...and I'd still be tuning my old Challenger instead. lol

 

[randeez]

It's a sickness lol

No delusions of it being that fast really, just can't leave anything alone.

Agreed. A good custom tune is primarily for cleaning up the stock tune: the confused shift tables, erratic electronic throttle responses, overly-protective torque management, etc. These don't necessarily create more power, they allow the power the engine has to be better utilized. Of course, extra power can be created with the tune because there is some to be had by adjusting the fuel and timing maps, even more so if the engine has been modified (optimizing the tune for the mods). I think it should be viewed as "letting your Tahoe be all it can be" instead of "let's see how fast I can make my Tahoe with a tune".

For a 6,300 pound truck that's true up to a point. Once you pass 100 mph trap speed it takes about 15 horses and 20 at 117 mph. That's 780 horsepower though!
