Default Short WOT run this morning

Had my digital camera with me this morning, never shot any video footage before, so forgive the amature nature of this, just wanted to see how it turned out.

This is on my truck with mods below. You might be able to notice the new cowl hood too.

why short shift it? i say pull it to atleast 58-5900 rpm. it sounds like its struggling a bit on the 2-3 shift cuz the rpm's drop so much. im shifting 6200 but the longtubes help the top end a hair. it sounds damn nice

did you ever get pics of your truck all cleaned uP?

I wanna say that Charlie has it shifting right now at 5800. I'd have to check it to remember though.

I've still got a bit of torque management left in it too so I know thats leaving some on the table. I think I've got about 20-25% of TM left. I've got long tubes on it too and I know they help up top

I still haven't gotten a chance to clean her up yet. Monday I was getting the hood installed and it rained its *** off. Yesterday I had an interview/business dinner type thing, didn't get home til like damn near 10 PM so its still dirty as ****. I'm wanting to try and go out after work to a car wash here on the island and get some pics on the Hill maybe. We'll see, if not, it will be this weekend, because by the time that I get home in the evenings, its already getting dark.

The vid is running thru the muffler. I really like the QuickFlow Muffler thats on there, glad that I went with it.

Sounds good man. I think you've got a bit more in it though. Extend your shift points, get a shift kit or firm up you line pressures to slam it in gear faster.

What does it run at the track?
