It's a GMC....that'll slow you down even more. They weigh more than the Chevrolets due to all the lock washers they use.

Throw a few fat chicks in the back to help weigh down the *** end to pick up traction..

Yeah i'm not to fond of big chicks. But would it really work that way to keep me from sittin and spinnin? or would the weight end up slowing me down alot too? Also, has anyone heard of ppe's tranny upgrades? Is there a way to convert crank hp to rwhp?
And i like my GMC. It'll be a little heavier anyways. I'm putting 2 rockford fosgate 10s under the back seats.

This will take a bunch of trial and error. It's a fine line....too much fat chick and it'll slow you down, not enough and you'll still spin. So you will have to add and try many different fat chick combinations till you find what works the best. Don't forget though, as you add power mods, you'll have to up the fat chick weight in the bed.....
