Ok as im getting throught the final weeks of my LT1 swap i was just curious how many of guys pushing 375+HP how it holds up to the elements? Like rain and snow and **** as this truck will be a daily driver.

 

err.. well for rain and snow i'd imagine its just not fun to drive in that As for holding up to the elements, it should hold up fine.. just dont suck up rain or snow into the intake

Some non-vented opti people may not like the whole rain and opti thing though... water and opti's never really got along well

 

well we dont get much snow here but we get enough got any tips?

 

Don't hit a tree.

 

Yeah, drive as if you have an egg under the "gas" pedal.

Trucks are squirrely no matter the power under the hood. I spun my old man's 84' short bed out just taking a gradual corner after a rain. Luckily there was a large field there for me to slide into. Consider some good all weather tires for the bad weather months or tires specific to winter conditions. Keeping some weight in the rear might help as well.

-Mindgame

 

get some (4-5) 50 lb sand bags for the back of the bed. that will help alittle.

 

I never have a problem in the rain or snow, I get stuck in the snow alot but it's not a problem
