Thumbs up

doggy, Ford uses a frame type system for their CNG powered vehicles, at a lot higher pressure than N20.

I would only want a few small things:

1) AWD
2) 500HP
3) Stock 11 second 1/4 mile times
4) Better aerodynamics for a higher top speed of 200 Mph.
5) Leather recaro seats and a six-point harness.
6) And a partridge in a pear tree.

Ha!

George, I believe it was Johnny L (I could be wrong of course) that was coming out with a way to mount the bottle to the rear (also helping with traction), and that making it almost completely hidden. And while your hidding things in the rear, you can use JDM's Intercooler Cooler, and relocate your battery to the rear, and have the cooler in the battery postion ready to fill with ice water every time you are the races.

i guess JohnnyL has already crawled up there to take a look. you can always hide the small "sneaky pete" cylinders. not much capacity, and all cylinders would have to be taken out for refill, as they are filled by weight. would be nice to have a system with an automatic overfill valve cutoff, like propane cylinders are filled on motorhomes, and tank remains in place.

Changing the design of the problem with the drivers seat wear problem.

A permanent repair to the intercooler leak.

Changing the design of the slotted lower A-arm on the drivers side and having a non slotted hole and the cam bolts from the factory on the upper A-arm.

Addressing the problem of the black tar type substance on the rubber portion of the drivers side carpeting.

Moving the location of the drivers power seat controls, as they are too close to the door.

Solid rear window.

More horsepower.

A true cold air intake through the hood.

Different more durable material for the fog lamps.

A hidden frame mounted hitch and hidden electrical connector.

DON'T REDESIGN THIS TRUCK, JUST REFINE THE ALREADY PROVEN DESIGN!

Leather bucket seats with a center console. (Who's idea was it to put a bench seat in a sports truck?)

Better stereo with 6 disk changer in the dash

Intercoolers that don't leak.

Front suspension that doesn't clunk

Get rid of the "beer can" window (rear slider)

The highest horsepower of any production SVT

Cowl hood

Fog lights with clear lenses

Real tie down hooks in the bed
