I sure did, it would run a real consistant 13.7@99mph. With the STS it has run a 13.0@104MPH. I'm still working on tuning and methanol injection to get the times down.

Beautiful! I love the look of those old-style trucks. With modern power you really have the best of both worlds .

Sorry guys on the pics, havent had a chance today kinda sucked for pictures and had to tend the yard being i have been working on the truck for a month. I did however make a full throttle 1-2-3 pass today. Damn, i didnt expect what it would do. I know its just a 5.3 but there is a definate traction problem, and when it does hook(mid 2ndgear), it comes on hard. The truck is like wtf...hehe
