I would say with a nice cam(not very good with cams, not good at all) and a big stall, then the bolt ons, i.e. gears, posi, Intake, tune, Lt's, good flowing exhaust, pulleys Im sure I missed something. I would think that would put you DANG NEAR brakin 13.00?
that's right.
20mpg, 4.10's w/ stock height tires.

part of the reason his truck runs so hard is that it runs very efficiently.
