You can't run cams in these trucks cause of the computer. I was told that by a customer once (I work in an Auto Parts store).

THIS sound clip of my truck was just when I was in DYER need of a tune up. FOr some reason though, plugs and wires didn't fix this one though.

I wouldnt mind soundling like that, but i bet that hurts the drivability a bit. What supporting mods do you have. I went to the track a few weeks ago. It was horrible. My friend runs 12.2 on motor and he couldn't get better than 12.9 cause of the heat and the track. I ran a best of 15.9 but I think with good weather and a bit more runs i could be in the mid 15's. That is stock and funn of about 300lbs of tools.

Oh and thanks for the comment on the color, I love it too. It's just a pain to keep black clean!

STOCK motor, headers, exhaust and a CAI. Lots of tuning. I was running 36* of timing up top and about 24 at idle. It really didn't run that well to be honest, drivability wasn't to much of an issue though.

I hear you there, at least the pewter part is easier to keep clean, lol.

218/228 564-577-116 lsa

I bought this with pretty low miles and got a very good deal, so we'll see how that large of a split works. Futral said it should work really good with my truck.

I'm waiting on TRT in Arlington to finish moving shops, then I'll be getting it put in. I'd like to get it Dyno'd before and after, but we'll see how finances are...
