I thought about it but I like the brushed and polished look. My truck will be painted soon. I got the paint about a week ago. I'll get it cleaned up so we can get a few pics next weekend.

Prolly lol.
So how fast have you guys drove your cars so far? I did a lil calc and when I was playing around with Wade and my buddy Justin in his T-type I pulled mine to 6250+ in 4th which is 180+ the calc is dead on because it said my car should be doing 81 in 4th @ 2800 rpms and thats exactly what my speed-o says.

Fastest I've gone is 166. I got up to 5th @ 5500 rpms. If only the 1 ******* car in the road didn't decide to go from the far right lane to the farthest left where I was I could have gone 170.

Honestly dude I'm wanting a PT series converter to pick up some on the back end. The SSs tend to 60 ft really well and drive really well but mph is not their strong suit. It's really just a standard trade off. I was telling Matt at the track that I was considering pulling it in the off season and selling it.

raced viper. When I had 3.42s and 27" tall tire and Rev at 6800. Maxed 4th and got well into 5th. 4th would peg the speedo. Viper said he was doing 175mph he was at my back bumper. I had more left. I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! sounded like t-tops were going to get sucked off the car.

Idk how fast I've had my truck but its been up there for a 3000 pound truck. When I put these 3:08 gears in the truck I had a 28 inch tall tire and was living in converse. On 191 there is a strech of road about 4 miles that's straight and flat with nothing but woods on both sides. I run to truck up to about 5k in od with the converter locked. The slightest little bump would cause the back end to hop off the ground. When me and Andy went to meet Blaine we got a little air getting on crosslake bridge. It hit the limiter when the tires left the ground. I felt like a duke. Lol

It's not what you think. Ask anyone how smooth my truck is. Vette's and camaros feel like dump trucks compared to my truck. Andy couldn't believe how smooth the truck was.
