the bed liner looks good you should leave the bike in there it makes the truck sit lower its allmost tucking

BTW i think it'll pull more then 300rwhp i was thinking some where around 340 to 350

I'll play around with different shapes when I get around to it. Either circle ones, triangular ones that but up against the wheel, rectangular ones or rectangular ones with a rounded edge...lots of different idea's to go with here.

The lowest part of the undercarriage is the e-cutout housing so the first thing to hit on a speed bump is that...
there was a few weeks where I wanted to lower it one more inch but after driving around with the bike in it I don't think I want to drive that "****-ly" around town all the time.

As far as power goes, right now it might be in the 2xx's but with a tune it might get into the 300's, well see.

Got my truck back from the stereo shop, nice to have a stereo again! Got my FPR powered up and a couple other dingle berry systems somewhat fixed but not finished, this next week I hope to have the truck all done.
I got a stock resonator from a buddy and gonna have that welded in, fix some exhaust leaks, get the front brakes back on finally, get the interior finished and finally get it tuned...if I get off my lazy *** I'll also fix my damn EVAP system done!!

Also my damn PCV valve won't stay in the valve covers!! they keep popping out when I drive it around.

Well the PCV system isn't exactly the snuggest of fits really, I can pop it in and out with two fingers but I might have to do some ghetto system to get it to stay!

Mine pops in, but I wouldn't exactly call it loose. Are you burning any oil?

Hard to tell since I only have 300 miles on it, a bit of an exhaust leak, no cats so the truck smells like raw fuel, and the truck is untuned and running rich. There is no white or blue smoke so I would say no, but my valley cover and valve covers are all venting to the atmosphere so it's not a huge deal, just doesn't route the air/oil mixture to the breathers which is where I want it to go.
