Default I Got My Truck Back!

Well it has been 1 month and 2 days w/o the truck, i did get it back a for a minutes/hours a couple days, but resulted in collapsing the slave cylinder. But got an OEM clutch put in it now, does great. Got the eaton in, does great, got the pacesetters on, didn't change the sound much, but could tell a little difference, gonna get it tuned for em. Well we have an 8th marked off near the house, before it went to the shop, it would pull anywhere from a 73-75 by my speedo, tonight with it was 77-79 by my speedo, but it's usually off 2-3 mph at like 80, so HOPEFULLY, since i have less wheelspin now and picked up a few MPH, i should be at a 9.6

Congrats on getting your truck back. Look forward to meeting up with you soon.

And think about me Slow... I haven't had my truck since August 8!!! It's in Fl getting mods and I'm still buying other stuff. I have a week of installing stuff I have laying around the house and garage

Colt already got some hoosiers layin around, and they're 17's so i'd have to buy another set of wheels, but i appreciate the offer. And yeah when march rolls around i'll definetly be going to greer and hopefully by that time u'll have the truck up and running and be deep into the 7's right? but yeah it's bad not having your truck for over a month when it's your daily driver, my only other form of transportation are my 2 motorcycles (colt you wanna buy one?? cut ya a killer deal) and it's just too F'n cold and rainy lately to be hoppin on them so i was having to get my g/f to take me everywhere, i felt like one of them redneck guys that lost their license and have to have their old lady drive em around everywhere, it sucked. But i didn't have to pay for gas for a month
