Seriously... Who cares what it is? 13's... Pfffft... 1990 material. Do you remember 1990? I do... It was awhile ago.

EDIT: To be clear... That's about bragging or talking trash "as if" ... I still like the Ram truck.

Oh, and if ya bring it south(where the weather is nice) I might find a way to line it up against my brothers pickup... A Ranger. Full disclosure though, it's quite a bit quicker than 13's.

LOL...the truck is fine...It has taken punishment for a full year now with no major issues to either the gm or dodge parts that are on it. the frame is prolly the only strong dodge part on it...and the 60e has all the good parts I can afford to install besides billet shafts, but it shouldn't need those for a long time

Tell ya the truth i'm more worried about the 98 ls1 rod bolts then any other part on the truck

Oh I agree there are some fast trucks out there! I'm just saying your truck has a pretty much stock ls1 and weighs what 5000lbs? That's all I was saying, still it is a very badass truck

I have a Cold air intake and cat then stright pipe with a tune(need a better one but there are not many people tuning the cars. Had to ship the ecu off to get tuned).
With the tune know I run 10psi in 1st and 2nd still but I run 18psi in 3rd,4th and 5th. I also set the redline up 500 more rpms and have the shift's set up a lot quicker. Its a 14.000 or faster car know.

the 3.90 gears help make up for some of the weight issue...even though it is a stock ls1 it has headers and CAI...I think it really helps..the 3.90's work and I'm sure i'm going to keep them but if i were to do it again 4.56's would have gone in.

I might race twice a year so I really don't care if I'm slower than average. It's my DD and I don't like to beat on it. It was down for a year, two years ago, when the secondary timing chain let go and I had to have the motor rebuilt. Last year it wouldn't shift into 4th going over 6,000 RPMs with the T3650. And up until this summer I thought I had a tune issue which turned out to be bad COPs. So I've lost a lot of spirited driving time with the car. Not to mention, as Sean will agree with, I live in a very well off area where if I get on it people will know and will report me. I don't find it to be a priority to drive 20 minutes out of town to practice. Maybe once I finish school and have a better daily I'll beat on it some more, but for right now I need to keep it in good working order.

BTW I'll be moving to somewhere between Brownsburg and Plainfield in January.

wtf is Rolla? I'm guessing your 2000 GT has seen it's tail lights so you assume a Mach 1 would too.

I know that everybody has bagged on the Mach driver; but I swear I couldn't help but laugh watching the video. It reminded me of when I'm trying to eat while driving my car and shifting gears at the same time.
