Whats up fellas. I am new to the forum. I just picked up my 05 VHO today, and I love it. I have already ordered an SS front bumper, painted grill, and door handles. As soon as I get a few miles on it I am going to put her on the dyno to get some base line #'s before the mods start.

Thanks for the welcome, and I do need to hide the check book! I am planning on doing headers and the rest of the exhaust. heads, cam, and a supercharger. probably going to swap out the 3.73's for some 4.10's. I have a feeling this thing is going to get out of hand quick.

The truck is black with dark gray leather. I special ordered it so I could get it without the onstar and xm, dont like the antenas on the roof! The day after I got it I took off all of the badges and door molding.

So far I have ordered the factory SS front bumper, painted grill, painted door handles, roll pan with hiden hitch, tailgate handle relocation kit, and street scene mirrors.

I hooked the g-tech up to it yesterday and spining the hell out of the tires ran a 9.91 in the 1/8 th and a 15.2 in the 1/4. I have a feeling my local tire shop is going to put me on their christmas card list.
