Little update, I broke my hand on thanksgiving weekend so I haven't been able to do anything. Surgery and 3 pins later, I should be out of the splint and pins removed this week, so wish me luck that it healed properly.

Trucks back down for some updates. I'll be posting some stuff up for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested in a complete drop-in 255lph intank setup, 4.56 gears, stock tank, evap stuff.......

Tell me about it. I've been a complete mess the last 4-5 months.

No, swapping out the 4.56's and going 4.10's. I'll be adding some power so I need less gear. I was turning 6800 through the traps with the converter locked at 126 mph with the 4.56's. I'm cranking up the boost for the SAR meet with hopes of going 130+. Also losing the stock fuel tank in favor of a bed mounted cell and BIG external pump.

No pain No gain

Yea, still gonna do the torque arm, cause I'm very curious to see how its gonna work out, plus I already own everything I need to do it. So it won't cost me anything. I know I've been draging this out forever and it should have already been done, but you know how that goes. I'll probably get right on it after the SAR meet. My hand should be fully healed and I'll have some time finally to mess around with it.

Very nice build. I'm building along the same lines but with a turbo motor. Do you have the part #'s for the shocks you used?
