Yes, burnout pics are always welcome.

ill work on that soon.. my truck has always done good to me on gas mileage. i calibrated the speedometer with GPS so its accurate, and i always fill up the truck the same. 950+ miles including an hour of idling in traffic on the bridge in Baton Rogue. Making 6? passes at the track and drove home.

If I'm in St.L, I wanna ride. I need to see firsthand why u think 3.42s suck. Or why 4.10s don't.
haha turbo and 3.42s go hand in hand even with the stock TC and 2.47 first gear.
