I got it all washed and was hoping to get some this weekend then it started raining all weekend. If it stops raining I'll snap a few.

Well it has been raining for over a week now and I have not been able to get any pictures.

Today I installed a 5 Star 93 Octane Performance tune. I confirmed that the speed limiter was removed but didn't do a lot of other driving in the rain.

Tomorrow I will be shipping the Stainless Works headers to Jet-Hot to get them ceramic coated with 1500° Satin Black. Stainless Works is closed until January 2nd for the holidays so it will be at least a 2 week turn around on getting them back.

Overall, your plan is wicked. I like it. Do the exhaust first, because (exhaust) music. With the mega power you plan on, you really should consider better suspension damping. Since you plan on a drop, I don't know if the Bilsteins will work for you. Good luck. You're somewhat of a Richard, but I like the way you're going about this truck so I'll leave your personality out of it.

I have tried to find other wheels but there is always something that keeps be from liking them.

I have the S187 8Ball on mine...I like them. I’m always looking for new wheels and these Gianelle Yerevan’s are in the same style....just throwing them out there as an option for you.





One thing I love about a matte black wheel...if you curb one like I have you can just blend the damage smooth with a dremel and hit it with some matte black paint and it disappears. lol

Wheels and tires have been installed but they used silver weights so I am going to order black weights and get them rebalanced. I really like these wheels because the wheel behind the spokes is smooth all the way around. Most wheels had some sort of extra bracing designed into the wheels that kept the area behind the spokes from being smooth.

The Stainless Works long tube headers should be back from Jet-Hot either tomorrow or Thursday.

Whipple is delaying the supercharger again. The end of January this time.
