Somebody like blue. :-)

That's not bad for a stock 2.7 4x4. Shocking with just a tune that will run over 100 in the 1/4.

Towing a car on a U-Haul trailer from Tampa FL to Hartford CT next week. Should be a load of fun :-P At least the trip back will be OK

I've been wondering what that color was. Man is that nice. Gotta give it to Ford for not having BORING paint. And I have friends here in NY that trek to Quaker City to run. That strip was rockin when I had my 66 Chevelle in HS in 72-74! I remember it well. Rts 62 and 164?? Just east of 534? My brains fried but I gotta be close.

Yeah i really liked the Blue Flame with the machined aluminum 20" wheels.I'm sure i can probably get better then the 14.56 i ran.I've only ran 2 passes down the track with the truck first pass was a 14.81@92.93 and then the 14.56@93.07.I'm sure they run good with a tune but i'll keep it stock and not worry if something goes wrong with the tune for warranty reasons!!!
