LOL, nah gotta get the Z71 back together and in 13sec fighting trim so we can get that one out of the shop and put this one under the knife.

It's quit amazing how much lighter this truck feels and responsive. It makes my 4x4 or my buddy's HD2500 seem like a tank!

As for the drop. I only plan on doing a 2/4" drop. I don't wanna slam it for drivability reasons and I feel I will have an easier time getting the suspension to work for me at the strip if I keep it in the air a lil.

I'm just getting warmed up too!

Next on the list is removing the side molding and 1500 badge and replacing it with GMC molding (good door ding stopper and it looks better).

Color matched door handles.

Trenz Billet grille and bowtie

Cowl hood

Paint matched upper bumper

Replace rear bumper with a roll pan.

2/4" drop

Put my stereo system from the T/A in it and make it easily removable for racing.


THEN when Synergy is ready we'll start the real mods.

Ya gotta look good too right? I mean you have to slow down sometime and when I do I want all the women folk checkin out mah ride!

Seriously though. I want to make this one clean. I'm gonna polish all the tubing and stuff in the engine compartment so I can take it to show & shines as well as the track. It'll never be a show truck but neither are a lot of the cars at the Good Guys shows we have up here in norcal. people overlook small flaws when they find out your pushing almost 800HP. Hahaha
