Power
Tour West- 1999
For
the last five years, Hot Rod Magazine has presented the mother of all
road trips, the Power Tour. What started as a small group, largely the
editorial staff cars, has grown into a parade of thousands of cars forming
a colorful thread of classic iron and horsepower that wraps across the
country. Each night there is a cruise in a different city where you
can hear about the day's drive and meet even more people that joined
that day.
Due
to an excess of distance and a lack of time, MSD joined forces with
BFGoodrich for the '99 Tour. Rather than cruising a low hanging, big
block with wide tires, this year we piloted a lifted up, big block with
huge tires in the form of a '99 Suburban! The truck had been outfitted
with plenty of hardcore off-road goodies by none other than Rad Rides
by Troy! That's right - the group behind such incredible cars as the
Predator, Sniper and Bisquik (which was on this Tour again) is responsible
for our Subs build-up!
We
had plenty of power on hand with an MSD 6 Ignition and Timing Control,
Hypertech program, K&N Filtercharger and throaty Flowmasters giving
the 7.4L a little more oomph. And we needed every bit to get the massive
Sub a-rollin' along the highways, biways and the occasional lost highways
as we traversed from San Bernardino, California to country music's capitol
of Nashville, Tennessee! And what a ride it was - follow along with
a few select photos from the journey!
