well 380 hp is more than 320. LOL. Plus a pick up truck weighs less than an SUV. :cool2:

Get a black bear tune and some tires rated for over 120. good 2 go then. My silvi and yukon have the same motors and the silvi is definatly more powerful. Cant wait to get the tune done.

I have said this before, you want to go fast safely, then get a Corvette. I just think trying to go gast in a truck with a high center of gravity is , well stupid. I have seen countless trucks flipped over from going too fast in a vehicle that was not meant for it.

There are may good deals on pre owned Corvettes out there, in fact if I was single or with no kids I would have one.
I had my Tahoe up to 100 one time and got nervous and backed of to a more conservative speed of 80.

Well in a strait line in any vehicle your fine IMO. The corvette shines in curves, not as well as a 300k+ super car, but well enough for me. LOL. and its fast. But IDK, if you drive it right then your ok. Just dont sue me when you die LOL.

Most handheld programmers allow both the rpm limit and speed limit to be raised.

I was wondering who the first person to say they were a good driver was going to be... Clearly you didn't read the above statement.
