Yeah, that was my truck in the video

If your have the cash for a power adder then that is the way I would go personally. For a nice turn key system you can't beat the Radix. if you want something you can oy with and upgrade in the future then look into a turbo. Even with my small turbo on here I make more TQ than I can handle. I tried to launch it in 4Hi on the way home last week form picking the truck up and the TQ steer yanked me across to the next lane before I realized what happened. That's TQ

Its always good to meet someone from home 02Denali. Thanks for all your advice. F8L i was looking at the STS and if i was to go with a turbo, that would be it. I love the sound that it makes when it spools. For now i am thinking about a Comp Cam 212/218, and the nelson tune. I am also looking for a 3.73 posi. Also 02Denali where did you get the front clip, i have been looking for one for awhile but i havent found anything.

Yes, you'll be turning more RPM's, but you'll use less pedal getting there, and holding those RPM's.

I've got 30.5" tires, and 4.10's. I can get over 20mpg with a light foot...
what if u drive long distances at 85 the whole way
