LOL ya when I did the first drive with Roger and we did a pull on the on ramp to the HWY I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. Started half way down the on ramp and launched in 4x4 and was over 100mph by the time I hit the hwy.

It's seeing 11-12 on the 1-2 shift at WOT and around 10 after that

5.3?? it's a 4.8 LOL

Ya it just makes me want LT's and ORY and a stall even more now. All with due time

I just love how no one will ever suspect anything at first glance. Heck I am pretty sure most will think something is wrong with it unless I open the hood for them

Plenty of people running into the 1000 range on a stock intake. I'd look for another cause.

Andy, that stock pillar has a cloth overlay on it, and it's not going to take paint well. What I'm trying to say is, if you paint the right side pillar, it will turn out looking like ****.

Just paint the left pillar to match. Easier, and it will turn out better.
