I had to listen to the same thing in 1971 when I was a long haired hippy with hip hugger jeans, tank top, sandals, wearing beads, driving an econo line van lined with **** carpet.
Now things are full circle especially when I see all the head and body piercing going on.

I got the cam so I could have the top end freeway power for pulling on unsuspecting suckers. I would have to say that there was little to NO low end loss, and a TON of top end gain....the truck pulls ALL THE WAY to 6000+ rpm now. I can get Jeff to lay our dyno pulls over each other to give you a visual of the differenc if you would like. ( I think he can do that)

Are you guys using SAE, or the corrected numbers?

I still tend to think of a long-haired bearded guy as an compatriot and that is OFTEN not the case anymore. Often just the opposite in fact.

The look is not for everybody. But keep an eye on the stock trucks. Denali’s come on 20's as do Rams and the SRT-10 is on 22's. The bigger rims/tires fill out the wheel well better. You're not alone however; my wife thinks they're stupid to.

No apologies needed.

1SlowHoe,

A bit OT, but those palm trees in your front yard look like they spent a night in a bad neighborhood. Is that hurricane damage, or do people trim them back like that?

We just had them put in a month ago. There was no green on top at all when we got them. I was told it helps them take root better if there is nothing on top. Next year they'll look better, I hope. The one on the far right hasn't made any progress.
