yeah different chip. keep rpms @ 2000 or less. smaller tires. take off drive shaft to front axle. clean your air filter and replace fuel filter.

I agree, except for the part of taking off the drive line. Life is too short to drive a 2wd........





Just kidding. However taking off the front drive line is like having a gun without any ammo. WORTHLESS !!!!!

In addition, the front drive line does not turn with the hubs un-locked.

Ouch. I'm glad my truck didn't hear that.

Smaller tires, less weight on the go pedal, rpms below 2000 and boost as low as possible, get the 80 econo tune from Jody and make sure your tires are inflated properly.
Otherwise drive a Hyundai!!!
