Nice truck butler! Unless you need them which by the sound of the direction your trying to go you don't need them but get rid of the mud-flaps, Hood visor and window ones too as well as your door moldings and your truck will look completely different, and they are FREEE MODS!! 
) He was asking why I couldn't just leave it stock when I told him what I've done so far but once he saw it I think he liked it. I'm on the fence about the door moldings....if it was a Chevy it wouldn't be a question but I think the chrome strip isn't to bad, I'll have to see what it looks like after I change the mirror caps.

Thank you trever1t. What have you done to get down into the 11's? If I can get to low 14, high 13 I'd be happy. I did a few base line runs this year. I meant to run out the cheap gas and put about 1/8th of a tank of high octane in but ended up going with half a tank of 87, my fat *** (about 340lbs), kind of warm and ran 16.5. In the trucks defense, it has 140k miles and is "only" a 4.8L, lol. I would like to think that with better gas, a smaller person, etc it would be close to 16 flat. I had fun though, it was my first time and by the end of the night I had my rt doen to .130. I was getting blown away by everything (17 sec imports would only line up against themselves) but I did make a guy in a LS1 Z28 look bad when I beat him on rt and to the 60' mark, that was the highlight of my night, lol.

... and I was looking forward to it.Be careful with the black chrome wheels. They look really clean but have a tendency of the finish peeling. Mine did just under a year.

I may do something else, the one's I have pictured I don't think are made anymore. I've also been playing with the idea of getting Boss 330's in the gray finish they offer. It's just a little darker then my truck but I think it will blend in better then say the black finish were you tend to focus on the rims instead of the whole package.

We just kinda of put up with him cuz is SN is in red. Huh Bill!!
Oh and running higher octane fuel isn't gonna do much for you unless you get yourself a custom tune. Your just wasting your $$ and potentially hurting your cats.
