As some may know I was busy busy busy with installing my mods before the dyno day with Torrie, I did 451 RWHP and 477 RWHP. I was kinda disappointed with the numbers considering my mods which me and Pete (1fst10) had 3 days to install before that Saturday but I'll wait till im able to hit the track. Torrie is the man, i went from his canned tune to the dyno tune and there was a frickin huge difference! like HUGE!!! And he gave me and Pete a ride in his TT Ford GT....I had asked him to drive it the whole day before and after riding in it i didnt really care to drive it! It frickin mean and he didnt even get to get on it like that!

What we did install: 6k hids, red top battery, coils, wires with heat shielding, plugs, power steering lines, mopar long tubes, catless mids, k&n drop in, bbk TB, under drive pulley, oil change and sct tuned by Torrie :rock: wash, clay bar and rejex! we didnt get a chance to wash and rejex the trucks until after the St. Augustine GTG which sucked but it was raining off and on so it doesn't matte.


Now that is just to my truck..... On Pete's we did coils, wires, plugs, 100 shot and replaced an engine on his toyota! which we didnt get actually put back in until the day i left!

What i didnt get a chance to install: oil lines, hurst line loc, cyro'd gears, shift kit,
(I have a few more go fast and bling goodies on the way already ;)) power steering pump, alternator, front caliper rebuild kit.

What I need/want: Caltracs, electric cutouts, aftermarket deck with system

The bad: the first day i was there, i mean I had put maybe 10 miles on my truck and the front right caliper siezed up on me.....I thought i was stuck, I had just picked up my truck, gotten gas and was on my way to verizon to get me a new phone and a trucker was blowing the horn at me telling me my tire was smoking! anyway i pulled over was stuck, decided to limp it to verizon where i got my phone called Tony and did what he told me ( drive backwards!) and it was fine. never gave me a problem again :rock: I pulled a trailer a few hours away to hit the track with my bike on monday after the dyno day, made it down and back, downloaded the trailer and on my way taking it back to who i borred it from it disconnected while crossing railroad tracks and smashed into my truck :mad: ....everything was connected right and yes i was using the right size ball and hitch.....just freakish and ive never had anything like that happened before....anyway it pretty much messed up my bumper and thats it......I'll get it fixed eventually. My power steering pump went out and I found out my alternator is bad as my HID's will not work!


But overall I love the fricking truck besides the crappy gas mileage, soon as I get to VA I will be buying a beater that gets me 25+ mpg! It hooks good and doesnt spin tires much with the nitto's but I have bad axle wrap so caltracs will be coming soon :rock: Leave was a blast, didn't party much at all, I worked on cars, rode on the track twice with the bike!

I honestly didn't mesaure it before putting it on but if you look in my sig you'll know who I got it from and you could pm him and ask him about it! It does look really good installed! Can't tell about feeling a difference as I did alot of mods at once....

Ha ha yea I was pissed Travis! but couldn't do anything but take it! Ill either replace the bumper or see how much it cost for everything to be fixed and re-sprayed....
