Yea not too shabby. I really need to lose a lot of weight though. Swapping the bumper and hitch out for a roll pan should help a lot. Ditching my tail pipe can only help, even if it isnt much, and I'll lose the back seat one of these times.

Anyone know how much weight can be saved by pulling all of the z71 skid plates off? Does that hurt aerodynamics at high speeds?

I plan on doing both... heads are in the works eventually and I can drop a couple hundred more pounds pretty easy.

Thats awesome! I had more left in the tune too, I was barely hitting the rev limiter on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift. It woulda gone 13.6x no question if that wasnt happening.

Thanks Tim. It's running pretty strong. You can hear he slightly hit the rev limiter on the 1-2 shift, and the same thing happened 2-3 as well. Unfortunately I think the good weather has come and gone, but I'll probably go back up for ***** anyway.

The AWD is awesome, but I onlyt managed a 2.03 60'. Like I said before, there is more to be had there, but still not too bad for a NA crew cab on such a mild set up.
