It's kinda basic right now.. It's got the 3.5 5cylinder with a Volant CAI, Magnaflow catback exhaust, crappy pcm for less tune, gerry-rigged traction springs, and E-fans. My best time in it with the 20's is 15.4 and with stock 15's it was 15.1.. Oh and of course.. My Arkansas Razorback door panels and headliner.

A 5.3 swap...lol... I really wanna replace the 3:73's with some 4:10's and get the torque converter restalled to about 2600. I think if I got that and a "real" tune I could break 14's easily. I'm also working on a deal to get a head off of a blown one to get it ported and polished just for s&g's. The only way to get cams for the 3.5 at the moment is to buy the blanks for $1000 and have comp custom grind them for another $600.

Yeah.. That's Joe.. I know him from another forum.. That truck is, for lack of a better word, NASTY.. I'd do things to that truck that would be illegal in some states.
