Yes all the time, I though having a turbo got peoples attention, having that air 2 air makes every rice drool
It don't take much to spin the tires with the boat on and the tires a little wet.

Bumper is there, just no valance. I can't bring my-self to cut holes in mine. Plus I don't want to spend any money on (this) front-end because I converting it to a 03+ front clip.
That way I can have a real SS clone (3 door lol), and get rid of that ugly *** grill.

Make sure you have a good tune for towing. Now that I have 2 bar it is a bit easier to get more fuel at lowwer RPMs with less TP%, I used the COT feature for a while and it worked out pretty well.
But yes STS + Towing = OVERDRIVE!

i second that. Stay on low boost though or you could get higher EGT's . I tow my car hauler @ 5 psi no prob, even with my 2800 stall, but it is a triple disc version. I LOVE towing up hills, building boost that just keeps you going effortlessly.
