nice that must be hard to film to film while controlling the truck but it was nice.

i know it is really hard to control it on ice but fun drifting.

If you have skillz like me, what you do is:

Hold the radio like you normally do, and put your thumb on the wheel. I actually enjoy driving like that, and have gotten pretty good at it... Of course it really isnt recommended driving like that in small spaces because of the lowered reaction time.. But yeah, doing that and filming is pretty tough[]

not sure about idle but it will effeft air volume leaning the truck out a bit. You should richen it up to compensate for the cold.

Nice vid. Looked hard but you did pretty good. In the cold I have to change my hsn throw out the tanks. I start alittle lean then as It really gets warm I richen it up, it seems to run the best that way.

Start with the HSN....you may also have to do the LSN. I did both on mine. Don't richen it up too much, just a little at a time and keep in mind you will likely have to kick up the idle a little after adjusting the carb richer.[8D]
