Good point.. mine does have a 15% pulley and CAI, but with that I've got plenty of go.

LOL ...were those zup-zups?

Re power... Too little would suck, but too much could also present 'issues' or concerns of a different kind...

I bet a Twincharged rig with power like Tuls (or the unmentionable one ) would have to be careful... The improved grip might snap drive bits Wet weather might also be an issue - depending on tread choice (hydroplane).

Anyone know how weighty an average 235/40/17 is?
