At the crank if you're going to be technical. Losing a good chunk thru the drive train.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

all that matters is it about 100 more horses than the I6 and better gearing in most cases as well.

I dunno. I think all that matters is that is fun!

It's not how fast you go. It's how quick you get there. Lifted TBSS Build

At the wheels is all that matters. :poke: Put that thing on a dyno, lol.

Five dollars says it's still faster than the kid on GMT who spent all that time and money on a turbo'd I6. :drive:

I'd give it hell, but I heard that truck is pretty fast!

I'll agree that RWHP is all that really matters, but EVERYONE gives the flywheel number. I'm loosing more than most because of my transmission and selectable 4x4.
