Default Finally Brought the Truck HOME!!!!!!!!

It has been a long time coming but I finally brought my truck home from Don's house where the beast was built. All I can say is ".......". I cant even describe how it feels. It drives like a stock truck with a convertor untill you give it any boost. The boost is instant and it hits hard as hell. The 285's on the back have no chance.

I will get a video of the truck as soon as I can get a camera man.

The 3:73 gears are perfect. 70mph @ 2000 rpms all day long. And spinning the tires at 60mph on the highway is fun as hell.

If any one is looking at doing a S85/408 combo, I highly recommend it
