Default '99 burban 7.4L here

I posted this in the new members also but figured i'd throw it here

We've had this suburban for years now. It's a 1999 Suburban 2500 with the 7.4L 454. Put the whipple on it when the car was almost brand new.
LOVE IT.

The beast has to be putting out above 500HP. Does somewhere in the 14s in the 1/4, will tow absolutely anything. Recently we got a big plow installed and put on chains, this thing is unstoppable.

Other mods to the car include Brembo disc breaks all round, rancho suspension, tons of aux lights etc.


She's been through one engine fire a while back. Replaced the entire wiring harness because of it. Here's a picture after the fire



I'll get some pictures of the whole car in a bit.


I can't stress enough how much we love this charger. This thing makes me feel naughty to drive. The tires break loose like nothing! It's funny, our local racetrack does drag racing for the public sponsored by the local sheriff department. We took the truck there a few times, the very first time we had two cops walk up to us and say "So you're the guy in that freaking burban eh? We've seen it around...."

hmmm what else, it gets 8mpg with a tailwind


we've removed the top speed limiter and it has gone somewhere in the 120mph range, dunno though the speedo stops at 100!

Funny we actually had the rear wing type thing that keeps the rear window cleaner. Apparently it wasn't made for over 100mph...oops
