Question A few broad questions that you would enjoy answering.

Just a few overarching questions that I'm sure you're passionate about


1. What mod have you done that has made you feel the fastest, or you felt the biggest gain in performance (not necessarily numbers)?


2. What mod do you think has really made the look of your truck the most, or has made it stand out from the crowd more than anything else interior/exteriorwise?


3. What mod are you proudest of, and are happy with what you spent and worked on (such as what you mention first or what you think of first when you think your truck)?


4. Lastly,in your opinion, what is the most bang for your buck thing that you can do performance, appearance or efficiency wise?



Just some things to think about

Nitrous is fun but with how high the its getting per pound and how addicting it is, you can pick up a maggy pretty damn cheap.

If I could start over, I would have turboed, right off the bat

1. What mod have you done that has made you feel the fastest, or you felt the biggest gain in performance (not necessarily numbers)?

It's a toss up between my stall and my 4.10s, both helped get the barge moving a lot better.

2. What mod do you think has really made the look of your truck the most, or has made it stand out from the crowd more than anything else interior/exteriorwise?

Debadge/ PTM

3. What mod are you proudest of, and are happy with what you spent and worked on (such as what you mention first or what you think of first when you think your truck)?

The entire drivetrain basically, all the engine and trans work has been done by me, so its my time and effort in it.

4. Lastly,in your opinion, what is the most bang for your buck thing that you can do performance, appearance or efficiency wise?

deff my tune, no doubt.
