meth kit is in. i also put in a shift light and a new steering wheel. been driving it regularly and beating the **** out of it. it takes it and never complains. starting to get used to 14 psi so im going to start tuning with the meth so i can up the boost and use more timing.

Dude, SERIOUSLY!!!! You put METH in that car??

You know that is gonna drive the damn police dogs INSANE when they pull you over!!

Not to mention the simultaneous possession of controlled substances and a deadly weapon!!

Have you learned NOTHING from past experiences??

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.

Gotcha, so when I look it up it says only to 89, but it worked ok on your 93? Anything special you had to do?

this car is sooooo fun. i really got to hand it to my buddy kris for the tune. i beat on this thing and beat on it and it never ever hiccups. been absolutely driving the **** out of it every chance i get. took it to summit racing the other day and when i left...

then i took it to my buddys house last night to weigh it.

and finally i got my vanity plates from the DMV.
