my costs included the truck. i got my truck into the 10's for under $30k including the cost of the truck. the truck was used. if i paid new price for the truck you would have to add $7k to that price.

Maybe do a lil research before swingin from someone's nuts. Jim has been through a lot of combos and tried various things to get where he is. We all do it. Trial and error is how we learn

i did learn a lot on my last truck but when i got this truck i knew exactly what i wanted to do with it right from the start and i did it. 6.0 with springs and some bolts, turbo system, stock 4l80e, stall, fuel system and tuning and a little nitrous to get it moving.

once i got into the 10's then sure i was in uncharted waters and i have been learning(blowing **** up) every since.

2 days gone and no numbers yet, I think they already ran it and the numbers was way less then they expected and that is what all this stalling and excuses is all about
