Thanks, guys, for all the good responses. The tips on staging are especially useful to me. Mostmint's comment on torque management opened a whole new view into the ECM's management of the power application to the drivetrain. Good stuff! Kinda makes me want to get an HP Tuner and start mucking around...

Your logic is sound except for the fact that I don't know how many passes this truck has had on it in the 43K miles before I got it.

Do you think Jim's Maverick will pull it without a tranny cooler?

I would have thought that your SS already has a tranny cooler in it. It has the stock one in the radiator, but I like the idea of the additional cooling that the aux cooler will give. It makes good sense to me. Since I've asked this question, I've been finding a lot of options out there. I guess I'...

I'm really liking the new addition to the family. According to our family tradition, we've named her "Smoke". Anyway, it's a whole lot easier to say than Trailblazer. With the upcoming date at Benson Dragway, I've become somewhat concerned about reports I've read about failing transmission...

Ruby is now on the block.

Yep. I'm waaaayyyy behind in my avatars.

Maverick and I took it for a little test spin last night. What a nice driving vehicle! The biggest problem we had was trying to find the button to turn off the traction control. I had to get out the book to learn where they put it. I'm good to go now. There is a dramatic difference between the handl...

It was delivered today: http://www.autofind.com/group/details/312.passenger/26702/1GNES13H482187547/ I don't have my own pictures yet, but you can get the general idea. I don't know how much longer the dealer will keep this link active, so check it out soon. Looks like I will make it to the races on...

I believe Rockingham has a 1/4 mile track and I know there's one near Lowes Motor Speedway.

The "Li'l GTO" is officially in the hands of her new owner. Nothing going on at this point with the TBSS. I had two of interest but they got sold before I could get to them.

Well, just jump in the shiny little Vette of yours and come on down. Experience test N tune night with the rednecks. Nothin' like it.

That's my first Thursday evening open. Wish I could do better for ya.

If all goes as planned, the Goat should have a new owner tomorrow morning. I still have a few weeks to work on a new TBSS. They seem to be few and far between around here.

Nice fit, Jim. June 30th.
