not gonna lie, when i bought my truck it was kinda dirty, but hey it had been sittin for a week, then went to get a brake issue fixed. So, i guess my somewhat predetermined buy wasn't enough for them to dust it off and vaccuum the floors.

Hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year...taking a break from taking down the Christmas decorations. Cold and windy outside but no rain!

According to carfax....this one had been sitting on a lot for 4 months the went to auction....then this dealer bought it and it sat for 3 months on their one lot then got transferred to their other lot and sat for another three months until I came along.....

One would think that keeping a vehicle clean would help sell it faster....

Or at least that's what I've been taught when I used to sell cars....

Ordered some parts today.....

Set of 8 ngk tr6 plugs
Set of 8 visteon cops dg508
4 metco 90mm billet pulleys 8 rib
1 thump racing 76mm idler pulley 8 rib
1 thump racing 76mm grooved tensioner pulley 8 rib
Steering column gauge pod
Autometer mechanical boost gauge
Gatorback belt for the accessory drive 4080990
Gatorback belt for the supercharger drive 4080660

Already got a mp adjustable tensioner for the sc drive and my old thump racing tensioner is going on the accessory drive.....also got the mp idler bracket sitting waiting for the pulleys

I'm also planning to go with a 4 lb lower and a 2.9 upper.....the couple of questions I got for Jerame is who does decent custom email tunes for theses beasts and can I run the canned sct strategy for the meantime until I get the upper and lowers done? What other mods would you do that wouldn't be to extreme or evasive?
