Default drove a joe gibbs taheo

the same truck as the one i raced in the street racing section. that truck rides SMOOOOooooothe!!! the seats didnt have arm rests so that sucked...and for a heavy *** hoe, it launches hard...real hard. 0 traction issues when stalling it up and stompin it straight to the floor. and the corsa screams. im pretty sure its the corsa touring so im gettin scared of the corsa sport i have on the way that will go on catless LT headers...

the tuning SUCKS ***. 2nd gear shift took about 5 seconds im guna hook him up with allen nelson next time allen is in town. very pretty, very nice but not worth the price tag IMO. i talked him into coming to HRP when we have the G2G

I would think that since they are so heavy and the restricted tunes that you are talking about, i would think somewhere between 14.5-9.

i would say about a 14.9x. the tuning is really keeping that radix from doing its thing.

I would be careful with a mail order tune if that truck is supercharged.....The Gibbs vehicles DO NOT HAVE A FUEL PUMP.

Good catch I would have never known that. Could have been a costly error.
