    Props to Nelsons again!

    Well after having a live tune done and shift kit installed a few months back I just now got to use my tow pig for what it was intended for. I was already happy with the gains in power and increased gas mileage for normal everyday driving. This past weekend we traveled up to Dallas for USACi world finals (car audio soundoff) towing my astro on the trailer. total weight between the two with everything considered was +/- 10k a decent load. Prior to the work I would get at best 7 MPG towing, I increased my average to just over 10 and also the trans temp never climbed about 160 when it used to hover around 210 with the same setup behind it.

    I cannot wait to have the time to get my ass back down for the fans and pulley install!

    Thank you again Nelsons Performance!

    Its hard on the eyes, but they arent built for looks.







    Ended up with 2nd place (hence the **** eating grin)


    For some reason I didnt get a picture of the amps/rear of the van. Running 6 of the dB drive pd2000.1 for now

    Some old pics from earlier this year at spring break in padre

    2500HD with 315s and a 6.0L. Whenever I'd hit a mountain pass and push it, I'd have to watch the temp or it would instantly boil over...

    Im curious about this because I have friends with the newer model trucks towing similar weight without problems and Im guessing they have the efans since they are 04 - 05 ish
