no **** LS1GUY...thats what I'm thinking...these 4.10s blow *** with the auto. its so bad I've been thinking about going back to .42s... might have to look into the T56 setup. that would definatly make it more fun on the road course.

The stock balancer was doing fine for a year with no bolt.

LMAO, Why am I not surprised Mark.

On another note we are pulling that guys heads next weekend, we had a "little" problem

My daily commute i'm seeing 17-18 mpg. I'd probably get 20 mpg on the highway but I haven't checked it yet. I have a 32" tire (275/55-20)

Yep, I'm a lucky *****. And the balancer is still on there. It is amazing what a bolt will do.

That's what I've seen in my truck. It's pretty good considering I've gotten 17mpg with a loaded bed (sofa, love seat & coffee table) on a ~100-mile trip.
