Power Tour lessons learned

[Neil B]

I learned that you can go the distance in a car that most people think is unstreetable. I drove over 1,700 miles with a full manual valve body TH350, drag radials, skinnies up front, no sway bars, no air/HVAC, 4" flowmaster, and 2.5" of ground clearance. It drove like a dream, even on the curvy Blue Ridge Parkway, and ran 11's at E-town.



I used only basic hand tools on the tour - a screwdriver, a few small sockets, and a timing light.

The GM Performance trailer has misc. items for quick fixes such as nuts/bolts/clamps, rubber hose, jacks, stands, etc.

I spent $300 cash (does not include gas or hotels).

Directions from the venue to your hotel are very important.

Sunblock and bottled water are your best friends.

Leaving each morning from my hotel to start the tour worked best for me, I did not go back to the venue.

You WILL get caught in traffic so make sure your cooling system is top notch.
