:slap: :slap: :slap:  :D

Dave has mine tuned so smooth it's like a hot knife going through butter.

I was in stop and go traffic coming out of philadelphia for 30 minutes just trying to get on the highway and it was very easy to drive.

It's all about the tuning with this turbo and  Dave has it nailed.

So now my car drives exactly like it did with the K04 + GMPP, but just with 100hp+ at all rpms

Sweet!

I still remember thinking when I got my car that I would keep it low mileage...didn't happen! You have more discipline that I do.

If it's more than just me, then I'd take the TrailBlazer. But, when it's only me I have a little help from these:

For an economical winter tire, they're great. And of course, any winter tire is better than an all season. I like to say, All Season Tires Suck In All Seasons. ;) I do think that the Hankook iPike is better on ice though. But, I'm not sure if they make the iPike W409 in a Sky/Solstice size.

On the Trailblazer, I have the truck version, the Winterforce UV. I only have about 500 miles on 'em... so I can't give an accurate review. But, again, they are leaps and bounds above the Wrangler ATDs all season that was on it previously.
