Dude that sucks,

I do like how they talk about the 'nitrous trucks' like they are some mystical creature that only the intrepid dare tread upon.. WTF?


Do yourself a favor, continue building your truck the way you want to.. Building a high HP rig, while fun, isn't always practical. And yes, you are correct, there is more to these things than uber-high hp builds. Take one of those trucks and throw it on any autocross track across the country and watch the horror.

Sorry you didn't get selected, just keep the course and build it like you want to drive it !

block got sold out from under me. oh well, wasn't meant to be. did pick up a set of lca's, already have uppers to get powder coated and throw some poly bushings in. just need drop spindles then i can drop every thing off at the powdercoaters



also have my eye on this car from work to be a daily. 05 police interceptor. price includes a black paint job for $700 but still have room to talk them down a bit.
