Starting on list of mods and maintenance planned for 2016.
First two:
Underdrive pulleys to set some power free
4.10 diffs to replace the stock 3.91 to improve 0-60 time.

Neat!! Really interested in seeing the results of those mods!

I'm afraid the underdrive pulleys will cause hot running in an already hot motor? And I wonder if it will affect servotronic steering?

What kind of inprovement in 0-60 time do you project with the new ratio?

We get face lift headlamps and more ponies from the factory up front. The slower ones have to resort to "pressurized" performance upgrades to keep up.

Sweetmercifulcrap.

While that ship has sailed, there are times that I really wish I could do such things. Even if renting the tools or whatever. Just even knowing about such things.

Me: Lemme show you what I'm doing, taking advantage of some of the time off. To, uh, add a whole new differential on here. Gonna rip these things out and, uh, of course re-calibrize it.
You: Yeah, you gonna make it all 4.10?
Me: Yeah, 4.10, 4.11. Whatever it takes.

I do, however, often know about such things

...moments after I have posted on here just after they have failed. See, CCV, et al.

Well, AND another 300 pounds or so.

You need the extra ponies just to stay even.

It's around 250lbs.

Be aware, any forced induction system will decrease that weight advantage.

BC, are you running a clutchless electric fan set up? If so, this will give you a bit more power and as far as steering goes, I'd imagine there would be no difference.

Will you dyno before and after?
