Bones, just drop an email to darinsusan1@home.com (Darin) and he'll put you on the list. I think he's planning something for March. I'm off the I-15 myself, but I'm not sure a destination is planned yet.

Duke, I've read all of the above posts and didn't catch what make tires you have on your truck.
I know those Goodyears will light up the world, but I have BFGs and I can't even get them to spin on wet pavement, well maybe, if I am making a turn...
Good Luck on finding a easy spinning tire.....he..he

fordyfour, I have the stock BFGs as well, which may be the biggest reason of all.

Duke, those suckers really dig, I drove through 20" of snow and never once spun a tire and this is a 4x2. Give credit to the LS and BFG, the load of snow in the back helped too...

By the way, that is one GOOD website you made for installing a chip, what kinda digital camera did you use?

fordyfour, not much snow here in San Diego, but it sure does help when it rains... that's for sure.

For my site I use my Olympus D-450 Zoom. It is an awesome little camera... been using it for a lot of stuff lately. Runs $450 at Costco, $500 everywhere else.

Well... after being beat by a bone stock 2000 Sierra, I found the magic trick for more HP and wheel spinning. 100 horse shot of nitrous. I have a hard tonneau cover and it only weighs about 150 pounds. I have a microswitch hooked up to spray at WOT, on/off toggle switch inline with the microswitch so I only get spray when I want, remote bottle opener, so I don't have to get out and lift the tonneau every time I might need the juice and a remote bottle heater... I live in Canada eh!

corey--
Is nitrous harmful to your engine in anyway? Will it harm the emission or plugs?
