Default Anybody notice the bar being raised to stupid heights in the performance section??!?!

Good grief! I wish I would have done my setup a couple of years ago where I could have been considered "fast". I can't believe some of the setups popping up here. What the hell does everybody here do for a living?!?! It takes me a whole year to save up for parts, and that includes eating ramen noodles and drinking sink water all year.
I've seen so many IMPRESSIVE trucks in the past half year, and there are so many "in progress" trucks that are going to be unreal. Looks like I won't be needing to change my user name anytime soon. 12.5s are looking slower and slower everyday!!!

So, guys, stop doing all of this crazy ****! I am going to have to get married and stop spending money on my truck, so everyone just be happy with 12s, or better yet 13s.

STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!

Dude I am totally feeling you. I just bought my cam and about to buy my TQ and all that stuff. I am really hoping into getting into the 13 with this stuff. But after seeing that greenthunder thread I am feeling like I am going as fast as my g/f caviler. But oh well, at least you got a 6.0 I dont have even one of those.

the times you got are fast I dont care what anybody says the all motor setup you got is sweet your running faster than alot of people with supercharged setups, Im hoping for mid 13's in my ext cab z71 na setup.

the heads are at the machine shop, and they'll be flowed and Im getting a custom cam to match them. after that no more major **** just bolt ons.

as for job I sell furniture at rooms to go and go to school fulltime (finally graduating this year) subsidized school loans have helped, little does uncle sam know hes helping me pay for my truck

I'll be on tonight. I always forget to turn it on.

02sierraz71_5.3- Good luck with what all you have going. It's going to be a sweet setup when you get done!

Yeah, somebody get a torch. We're gonna have to cut the damn bar down.

I can't wait to see some of these setups people are planning or finishing.
