I havent measured the pressure drop yet, mainly because my analog gauge is sticking, but so far it seems good!
Cool man congrats. Im interested to see the difference it makes at the track.

Waiting on the stuff to strap the front end, and ill do the rear shocks at the same time.

I weighed my tools and tailgate and that is an easy 115lbs I can loose
Im going back tonight and aiming for a 6.33, which should be a high 9s 1/4 mile.

I'm not sure how hot that is. If I'm not on a road trip tomorrow, I will be at the track...and it's going to be as hot as lesbian sex out there.

Man that truck is awesome. And would be soo fun to play with people on the streets. I had an extended cab cummins running 12.3's in the quarter all day long and it was fun to play with camaros and stangs so I can imagine how fun that thing must be. Good work! Wish I was close enough to see that thing in person
