I am no drag car but i keep up with traffic plenty fine. i notice the tires more stoping than going.. i upgraded pads. and about the install the NNBS brakes with upgraded pads these are direct bolt in and are an inch larger diameter also i am going to put thicker slotted and drilled rotors and beef pads to solve this stopping issue.. it is more a comfort thing for when the wife is driving my drunk ass home from the bar....
the larger diameter travels a longer distance down the road.. which makes the actual speed be exponentially greater than the factory formula.. and in turn the motor does not have to turn as many rpm to maintain a constant speed resulting in a lower rpm..
Now it take a little bit more BUT NOT MUCH to get up to speed. going from a 31 to the 35 i did not notice much of a difference at all to be honest other than brakes. But the factory brake system on our trucks sucks!! and is a weak link from GM..
she merges onto the interstate like a champ and i never feel like im going to get run over or lack power around town or passing.. for a 6,000 lb truck she does fine.. little more power wil not hurt but more power is always good in any application....
the ground clearance is very nice with the lift and the steering geometry is basically factory with the parts from the kit.. Alignment stays true better than the wife's Accord. and as long as the pavement is flat she will run a straight line at any speed with no hands on the wheel. smooth as glass.. tires get rotated every oil change at 3,500...
only other negative other than brakes that i have found is the turning radius.. could be that i baby my tires or that the tahoe turns like a freaking container ship but it feels equal to the maneuverability of a long bed crew cab and or Burb.. that is my personal opinion. granite it is no mini cooper. lol
