You could always do the free mods, not worth a butt load of power, but every little bit helps....

Ha Ha.. I feel your pain. But lately, no snow, dry roads, not too bad if you have to drive you LS1 in it. But, I think we are suppose to get snow tomorrow and some over teh weekend.. ME, I park it in the winter and drive my truck.

Oh, BTW, here is a site that some of the local guys hang out in from time to time.. http://www.modernmuscleofmn.com/

Welcome to the site....I feel your pain with the **** weather!! Up here in Michigan it doesn't get any better! But as far as mods definitily do the free mods, they don't get you a ton of power but workin on it is better then just lookin at it IMO!!

davered...get ready, snow on the way this weekend...and i was hopeing we'd be all set till spring now w/ this 40-50 degree weather. If it helps any of you guys...i bought a cheap Jeep Cherokee, put a 3" lift and put some 31" MT's on it to help deal w/ the snowy season...not as fun as warm weather but it sure beats driving a 2wd car in the snow.

Welcome. Just to re-state. Winter Sucks.
Although it's been pretty mild here for the most part.
Enjoy.
