IF I drank, I probably would be. But since I don't.......

Nah, just a bit eager to get to racing tomorrow and see what the 4.10 gear swap does for this truck.

Heck, I may be swapping the rear ends back out til next year if I don't find a tire big enough to keep the RPM's down, or get ahold of a 700R4 and TV cable kit...

Something is gonna give and I am scared it's gonna be my wallet before it's over with.

thanks man. it took me 15 min to swap the steering wheel out lol. if you get a grant steering wheel just use their adaptor kit part #3289. i didnt hook my horn wires up because i dont have a horn but its pretty self explanatory when you get in there. plan on ripping all the airbag wiring and **** out. car feels way more responsive with a smaller steering wheel and WAY more comfortable in my hand than the stock piece of **** wheel.
