I thought about doing that, but I figured I got an early enough jump on traffic to get through Houston. Surprisingly I only hit 2 traffic spots. About 3 miles north of Hardy toll road exit I came to a crawl, which cost me about 35 minutes of travel time, and then 59 coming into downtown was a little thick only costing me about 15 minutes. Still made it from north Arlington to my house in 5 hr 20 min with those snags. Thought that was pretty good.

I actually live south of Houston towards Lake Jackson and Angleton. Sometimes 45 through Houston is just an easier route to take then the "back roads" of Hwy 36.

Yes, different cams, and also different pistons. The trucks have a 10.5:1 compression ratio and the cars are 11:1. I think there are minor differences, but can't remember them. The intakes are the same. You can actually install a Boss IM on the trucks, as I've seen it done a few times. Obviously a different tune as well. Sent from my iPhone using IB AutoGroup

Thanks. I can't decide on a truck. Never thought it would be this difficult, but I've been trying to make up my mind for years.. Car was allot easier for now, - since I'm not as picky lol. Plus it was the perfect deal, -right place/right time.
