Nah it's all good, been quiet on this for last few months paying down some debt since beginning of year. Overdue to spend some money on it

That’s some badass shit. Too bad the sound byte was TERRIBLE. And no dyno numbers? Come on Haltech.

lol spirit is long since broken man, its just like any other reoccurring bill at this point.

I sometimes hate it, want to just put a stock engine/trans back in it or close to it, get rid of it.
do all this to a newer 2015+ tahoe/yukon cause i like the body style a little more.
buy a c6 and make an actual race car with some of this drivetrain, would req diff trans, rear end etc..
none of it makes financial sense....

but when it works its the only thing i would ever want to drive

 

[Rocket Man]

blah blah blah blah...but when it works its the only thing i would ever want to drive

And that’s all that really matters.

When the stars align and your perseverance has paid off, its going to be a bad *****, thats for sure. I hope it comes together this time. I'm looking forward to it

wouldve been cheaper probably

 

[randeez]

so.... in either case with the electric power steering pump i was going to do for hydroboost brakes. I am pretty confident that it would have no problem running the steering rack also BUT

i bought an electric rack from a hybrid tahoe anyway lol.... was cheap (compared to what i've seen them go for used anyway) ebay is a mess but hopefully it comes complete with the power unit, tie rod ends, harness atleast to where it plugs into the main one.

the tahoe hybrid uses, what looks like, a hydraulic booster but way different than the HB units. maybe @swathdiver ever seen anything about them? it probably wont work, thinking its tied into regenerative braking so who knows how the hell it would work
