Ran 14.0 with the Suburban

[tbyrne]

The Avalanche and Suburban are pretty much cousins so I figured you guys might be interested in this. I took a trip up to New England Dragway for some opening day racing. The weather was good and the place was packed. I took 4 runs before calling it a night. Ran back to back 14.08s and then a 14.20 and 14.22. Both of those runs bumped the rev limiter going into 3rd. I was going to take a 5th pass but that would have been an hour of waiting and then another 2 hours home so I left happy with the 14.0 @ 96.59 MPH. I launched the truck in Auto 4WD. That produced 60' times of 2.0 on each run (best was 2.00). Not to bad for 6800lbs.

I launch in auto 4WD and then turn it off by 50-60 feet out. This is a 8.1 truck with 4.10 gears, an intercooled Whipple supercharger, Volant induction, TOG headers, electric fans, Direct Hits igniton, stock muffler and custom computer programming.

I ran the stock wheels/tires at the track. The 22s are 3" taller and each one weighs about 20lbs more.
