4-valve motor, 3.3 whipple, and a nitrous backer. How big of shot are you planning? Traction will absolutely suck. Vin do you drive it on the street? A 9-sec trtue street driven truck would be cool. An 8-sec street driven truck would be awesome. Good luck to you. Keep us posted.

Thanks guys,

Just to clarify a couple things. Not Rich..Not even close. I am 38 though and make a decent living and this is just a culmanation of a lot of years of upgrading vehicles.
Also, I owe ZERO. everything on this truck is payed off 100%, including the truck.
Every year I sit down with the Mrs. and go over the next years budget and I tell her almost everything.LOL.

I am waiting on the 4-valve to happen. Jim is very excited about it and I have seen stuff with my own eyes that tells me it will happen soon enough.
Until then I am quite content w/ the 2-valve and the KB. I figure a 100 shot couldn't hurt and 'What the hell'. Denny at Racetested is an awesome guy and this is a quality nitrous system.

I also plan on driving my L as often as possible. I drove it 1000 miles to Florida ,ran a 11.37 , drove 400 miles in Florida and 1000 miles home. Thats 2400 miles in 5 DAYS. The L has 43,000 miles on the odomter and I have enjoyed every one and plan to keep doing just that. It drives my tuner crazy, but I refuse to give up the fun I have.

This year is a throwout year as far as winning brackets. I want to have some fun running #s. Also plan on a few car shows this year.

Have to agree on the Dewalt Vinnie. My latest addition is their 18V - 1/2" impact gun. I switched all my shocks, different leaf springs and all 4 new wheels on one full battery.

Glad you are happy with the products!
