It has pretty typical mods... BamaChips 92 octane race tune (SCT2 tuner), and a JLT 2 intake. I also have some SLP Powerflo mufflers for the meaty tone.

Hey thanks Gip! I took a job in West Plano, so I'll be looking for a place in that area... maybe Frisco.

Hopefully the truck is comfy for that 2200 mile drive.

The stang is fun, shes lightly modded, but pretty quick.
I used to live in Silverdale/Bremerton. I made that trip many many times. You'll enjoy it I think...well except for the price of gas.

set your cruise at about 70 (even though speed limit is 75) and you can easily get 20 mpg on the highway. I was able to do it with my Screw with 5.4 and 3.73 gears. Colorado and Kansas are nice and flat so you can get some good MPG there as well

Yeah I've just got the 2x4, so I'm hoping it doesn't do too bad on the highway with the cruise control set. I filled her up for the first time today to the tune of $82. I knew that was coming, but it still sucked, lol.

I had the Undercover installed yesterday and I must say I'm really impressed! It is very nice and seems like it is sealed very well. There is a little LED light on the inside that is a nice touch.
