I got my mind on S/C a Tahoe/Yukon. But they have to many problems before even adding the extra hp. Lifter/tranny issues.

I’ve done shite to a lot of my trucks the last 25 years. Wouldn’t mind doing a stage 2 on my M but probably get rid of it in the next year or 2.

Put a Carli on my F250 and love the way it rides so it kinda spoiled me on stock. Will probably do another Carli on my next one too.

Always start with a good platform that takes mods well.

I have always had modded cars from mild to extreme and both our dailys are mild/moderately modded. Mine has ~750hp and my wife's ~680. Both are fun on the street and even more fun on the track. In normal driving it is hard to tell them from stock.

Why do we settle for the stock minivan?

I'm gonna go A-Team on that mofo or mud it out like mad max. That's when the soccer mom van becomes the baw-dad machine

What is a S/C??? I can only assume supercharger, but have never seen s/c. There are a lot of other things needed to go along when you boost an engine. Injectors, higher volume fuel pump, a good tune.

Just slapping on a supercharger and pressing the gas isn’t possible.

I've got a vehicle with more mods than anyone on this forum. It's a Jeep CJ5 and everything that could possibly be modified is.

What all do you have done to your cj5? Be careful saying you have more mods to you vehicle than anyone on this board though. There are actually some people on this board that are into that type of thing.

You want to heavily modify a Tahoe but are worried about lifters? Might want to reconsider your hobbies.

I don't really understand paying thousands for a truck, and then spending thousands on top of that to modify it.

OK so why don't you start the mod by changing out the lifters and cam? You'll have a solid engine then.

I've always wanted to put one of those things on the front of my truck so that if there are cars in your way, you can ram into them and it flips them over or pushes them out of your way. Would be good for those midnight basketball donut spins at the red lights holding everyone up or those protesters in the skreets.

Modified my Eagle Talon TSi AWD

Full 3” turbo back exhaust deleted cat
Short ram intake
Front mount intercooler
Big 16g turbo
Lancer Evolution III transmission
ACT lightened flywheel
ACT 2600 clutch
650 cc injectors
Apex’I SAFC

It was fun but was a ticking time bomb

Modifying a vehicle may be one of the trashiest things to do outside of getting a tattoo.

That's amazing actually. That you don't understand that. Because it's a very simple concept. You on SSI?

I would argue that doing the BabyTac schtick is wayyyy trashier.
