Hope this helps anyone else thinking about taking these trucks past their designed limit. It was fun though!

Wow ok that makes more sense now. I was figuring that the stock aluminum DS was made of string cheese or something to hit from that far away.

I had it faster but it isn't safe. I am with Zippy,...bed cover, tighter shocks, lower, better wider tires and a high speed balanced drive shaft.

Where I am at, a deer can pop out of the woods in a matter of a second. swerving is out of the question at those speeds so you have to have it made up in your mind that you are going to pancake it and suffer the loss of your truck in trade off for your life.

Like mentioned earlier,...I just want to 0-120 as fast as possible on the strip and 0-60 as fast as possible on the street
