Launched with very little boost/rpms. (No gauges yet:mad:)
265/75/16 Mich ltx at2s at 80psi, yes speedo corrected for tires. Didnt seem like any tire spin.

Very mild daily driver tune, still less than a stock lbz tune for hp.

Hollow van = resonator. :) Maybe a stack going up the side? LOL


If you think about it, you are already down to the race weight of a pickup without stripping anything down.

I always thought a 450-500 Hp Dmax van would be a blast. I even went out to Quigley to look at the 4x4 conversions they make. They had not done a Dmax van but I found the vans they did make very capable. They even offered a solid front axle option for the van in addition to the IFS. All with a GM factory warranty still in place.

duds?

Dont really know, something different each time. 1st one had a spun bearing in the tailend of it, non replacable, got a new trans. that one blew out reverse after 7,000 miles, they fixed it till it started whining 1000 miles later. tranny shop guessed planetaries and maybe tc. Got a new one but GM wouldnt tell me what was wrong with it.
That was babying the van, not being too hard at all on it. Now I'm driving it a bit harder, see how fast I can blow this one:spit::rofl:
GMs been good to me thru it all, but I think I'm done with them, go aftermarket when this one goes
