Default Short bus with boost=fun!!!!

Dave just bought a short bus a little while ago and decided to take it to the shop today with the EDGE programmer set to kill. So well you know we cruised around town and did some burnouts and came back to the shop to do some more. This thing is so much fun!!!

Next is exhaust, intercooler and intake. We want to get it into the 14's. Everytime we take off at a light and smoke people out a start to cry from laughter.

That would be so hilarious to just randomly see someone doing a burnout in a short bus. People were probably wondering if there were children in it.

A good programmer and exhaust will keep you happy or adding the lincensing to HPT works too.

Programmers/tuners run $400-800 depending on what you buy. You want to have an EGT and boost gauge in most cases and bigger catless exhaust in the $500-$800 range to handle the exhaust and keep the temps down.

You can play that way for a while before the temptaion to upgrade the Allison tranny, converter and a fuel lift pump setup then head studs then juice then bigger turbo then...

You can get a bus like this for about 4-6k. A little bit less if you buy one with some minor fixes to be done like Dave did. Let me tell you its worth every dollar.
