#1116 of 3125 Now, onto the mods by chile96 May 31, 2006 (2:28 pm)
Now let the modding begin!   We adamantly did not want a sunroof so we did not get the rear DVD entertainment system that, we were told, goes hand-in-hand with the sunroof. Doesn't matter as there are only two of us.   BUT, I'd like to pay someone, off the record of course, to be able to play DVD's in my nav screen. I know if you have the rear entertainment system, DVD's can be played on the nav screen while the car is in park so I tried putting in Caddyshack into the nav dvd slot but no success - "disc read error".   So, has anyone heard of converting the STOCK option U3U into playing DVD's afterall? I amfraid I know the answer but just wanted to be sure.   BTW, this is my first XM radio experience and think that we will continue the subscription after our trial period.

Replying to: chile96 (May 31, 2006 2:22 pm) Congrats to all you new owners; don't forget to post details of your deals over in the Chevy Tahoe: Prices Paid & Buying Experiences discussion (and thanks to those who've already done so!).   Posting some pics of your new rides (and those mods) over on your page would be nice too.   Steve, Host
#1118 of 3125 What about this mod: by chile96 May 31, 2006 (3:06 pm)
Anybody bought or heard of that airraid air filter that has several auctions going on over on that "big auction website"? They say about a 20hp increase and 20ft-lb increase of torque along with improved gas mileage? Too good to be true?

Replying to: chile96 (May 31, 2006 3:06 pm) I installed one 3 weeks ago. Bunch of money, easy to install. Definately adds horsepower and torque. I can feel the difference. Not sure its 20hp+. The increase in airflow is louder, you can hear it inside and outside. Mine did not add mileage, even when I keep my foot out of it. IMO you either get HP& Torque -OR- gas mileage, not both. If I were going to buy a CAI system again I would consider the True Flow system or the AFE system. Actually I think the cheapest way to go is with an AFE Torque Boost tube, the stock airbox and a K&N filter element. The airraid was the first I found, its OK.

Replying to: rat55chevy (May 31, 2006 3:50 pm) I don't really care about the cost(to an extent of course!) but I just want the one that I will see the most gain from with doing the least amount of detriment to the car - but I don't really think any of them will do harm huh?   A few people have added K&N air filters to their Porsches and the minimal oil that comes on them has actually screwed up their Mass Air Flow sensors ($300 part x2) and thrown error codes. I'm guessing that chevys are not going to be as "sensitive" as porsches?   And any suggestion on where to buy one of these?   thanks!

#1122 of 3125 Gas options by chile96 May 31, 2006 (5:46 pm)
Last question - I promise! Will it be better for the engine, i.e. less carbon deposits, and better efficiency/momre power form utitlizing supreme(93) vs regular(87) gas? I swore I could tell a difference in my old '99 tahoe with 50K miles but I could've just been imagining it.   Any ideas? Replies to this message: dettltz (May 31, 2006 9:11 pm)

Replying to: chile96 (May 31, 2006 5:06 pm) There are lots of K&N opinions over in the K&N Air Filters, bolt-on power? discussion.   Instead of going by the seat of your pants, why not get some baselines done? (mpg tests are free; dyno testing can peg your before and after HP to some extent).   Steve, Host

Replying to: chile96 (May 31, 2006 5:46 pm) Chile96 --   If you jump back a ways up this board, all the way to #827, you'll find a lot of answers. I'm not sure which, if any is right, but a lot of voices sounded off on the octane issue...

Replying to: chile96 (May 31, 2006 3:06 pm) See my earlier post on this, adds 20+ hp at the top of the RPM curve, I attached a graph to my last post, if you are going to run the Tahoe hard, you will see the difference, for normal driving, probably not so much.
