I think i need multiple new pairs of boxers after that...... :rotfl::raspberry:
But the amount of speeding tickets i would get if my truck sounded like that..... :rotfl: good luck with that sir lool
But i cant wait till the vid of you going heavy on the gas,
I remember the first day joining the forums and seeing when you just got the intercooler on, i might be just as excited to see this finally running as you are lool
This deserves a BIG CONGRATS
Im putting it on my bucket list to see this thing in real life one day

Since this thing is so modified is that why its throwing the check engine light?

yes and no...The check engine light is for an evap purge circuit not being connected (because I got rid of the system) and I just havent had time to clear the code yet. Also, I had an issue with the 2006 computer not liking the 2004 dash so its saying the abs and e brake is on as well as an o2 sensor error.

I hope you didn't get another mastercard Ryda :raspberry:

Hahaha i just paid it off on friday :thumbsup: they offered to increase my mastercard to $5000, a $20,000 line of credit and a $5000 US mastercard
I said NOPE! Im happy with my $1000 limit haha

I'm not sure where to get the blanks, but Competition Cams will grind the cams and if you went with an 06 head and had it ported...along with the custom cams, I understand they are netting 50-60HP easy. Will be some coin but something to think about. I don't know where the MPG's will go but it should wake it up. :yes:
