Haven't really had any time to take it to the track. Been putting in lots of friday hours at work which puts a damper on my play time.
I've been running a 12.00 index at a local shootout the first friday of the month the past couple months. It's a lot of fun and doesn't put much wear and tear on the truck. Me, red truck, and pctruck2000 all race in the class. Last month, pctruck put me out first round and end up going to the semi's himself which was awesome since it was his first competitive race ever. This month, I got lined up next to the world famous farm truck first round. I treed him with an .064 light to his .073 but I dumped out of it too soon and he edged me out at the stripe.

I have not really had a chance to test the potential of the NX stuff.

I really want to get the truck looking good. It takes a good picture, but there are some flaws in it that I'd like to have to corrected. I'm tired of black. It's beautiful when it's clean, but so much work. I'd like to do a full color change and possibly put a stepside bed on it with a 99-02 front clip. I want to order 2 more rear bogarts so I can put a set of drag radials on them to drive around on instead of my slicks.
It all just takes time and money. It runs so well now that I don't want to really change anything and I also don't want to let anyone have it for a long period of time to do the paint and body work lol

Tough to say. Performance wise...just get some more weight out of it. I feel there quite a bit more to be gained by gettin some fat off this pig. Possibly adding Nitrous Express direct port has crossed my mind a few times. A big upgrade would be putting a big block chevy in it like I've wanted to for awhile. I just don't know when I would make that happen. It definitely wouldn't be until it got cooler.

Truck is still doin its thing. Haven't really done anything drastic to it in awhile. I'm going to change it back over to gas because I can't drive it as much as I'd like with e85 since its not really readily available to me. Ordered my new QuickFuel 950cfm carburetor this morning and hope to have it going again by the weekend. I love e85, but I love being able to drive my truck where ever I want to, more.
