Thanks Dave! Tadd took 1st place in his class (modified 1996-present) as well, so two 1st places for our Montes.

Tadd's posted his pictures here, and I put mine here as well > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/mi...18/#post566340.

Here's a couple shots of ours from today.

I average around 17 mpg but I also have a more aggressive gear ratio an most the 04 silverados have. Plus New York loves to have 10% or more ethanol in the fuel that kills it a little.
