      At one point I thought about making up a speed shop name to throw on the side just for kicks.

      I was actually pretty happy because I overheard him cracking jokes in the staging lanes with his buddies about me bringing a minivan to the track. I kinda looked at him like "ok......you brought a 4X4 to the track.........but ...whatever. And then I spanked him! He claimed his power programmer was'nt set right.

      Yea, right..... Them duramax dudes always got excuses. I got a 01 Powrstroke that is healthy. My Boss has a 06 Duramax, he will not race me. He is always complaining about his de-fueling when the exhaust gets too hot. My ET usually gets up to 1200 pretty fast, with no de- fueling?

      cool astro. I had a '94 Safari for awhile, very practical van.
      the stance on your truck is great, I'd lose the raised whites and roll the rear pan. what parts did you go with to lower it?
