Default I'm Back!

Most here probably don't remember me. About 6 years ago I had a storm gray 99 GMC RCSB 5.3. In fact my old website is still up over here: http://www.eatel.net/~kducote/ Anyway, I was probably one of the first guys running the gas and in the low 13's. I grenaded a tranny, lost interest, and bought a dodge QC. I saw a new shinny red 2004 VHO at the dealership and deceided to come back from the dark side.

Anyway, I've nitroused, lowered, wheel and tired, ram air'd, hypertech'd, exhausted, headered, and polished a NBS truck. I've been out of it for a while and have been lurking for a few weeks now. I'm almost back up to speed, but you will see a few questions coming soon.

Welcome back from the dark side.

Since youve been gone the new body style tucks have hit the tens with a mostly stock motor and a stock trans.

Welcome back. I remember you very well. You were the first person if I remember correctly to have ASM long tube headers. You got them from Thunder Racing.

Thanks guys, I have a short list compiled for the VHO. I have them listed on my post about cam suggestions. Yes, I was the first with the ASMs. However, I really want to try the Thorleys this go 'round. With the 6.0 exhaust being dual 2.5 up to the muffler, I think the Thorleys will flow just as well as my ASMs did with a Y pipe.

Welcome back.

Most things are still the same, but ETs have gotten much better.

Think my old username was Kendall. I really don't remember. The Ram was cool. It was an 02, so no Hemi. The only thing I miss about it is the 4 doors. I didn't realized how much I used them until they were gone. The ride was very bad. The motor, 4.7, was ok until I had to pull my trailer. My VHO is equipped much nicer. I have every option in my VHO. XM, leather, and who could forget the 6.0/4L65E combo. I think I'm going to get a custom plate for it. "HMIBSTR"
