It looks like the only power enhancers in the sig are a CAI and BBPP.

Reminds me of an experience a few years ago when I was riding through a tight mountain "twisty" section on a rented Harley Fat Boy with a passenger. I was really cranking it on through the hairpin turns and the mountain grades and thought we were flying - until I looked in the mirrors and saw a clapped-out Chevy pickup on our tail wanting to pass us. I guess we weren't going as fast as I thought.....

Now that's a depressing thought.

The Astro was probably turning 7000 rpms in 2nd gear and you were turning 1800 rpms in 6th gear.

My wife drives a 2002 Astro all wheel drive with a Quadzilla chip in it.....that wasn't a Maroon Astro by any chance?

She came home the other day telling me how she blew off a Cummins and thought she was pretty hot stuff I told her that cummins had to be stock and the driver was asleep or nursing a worn out clutch

Man if I got beat by that Nana Van, I would NEVER live it down

Thanks yall, some real encourage ment!! My upgrades are in Sig, just this was the first time I REALLY got on it since the BDPP was put on. I had it on performance because I am too chicken to try that on extreme. My truck has always had a tapping sound and the last thing I wanna do is find out the hard way what it is. Just thought I would share, thanks again.
