I hope it wheels well cause it sure ain't much to look at. Have you actually taken it to the track in it's recent state? I just find it hard to believe a truck with 10" of lift and 35's could run 14's.

So the 1/4 miles times were made before the lift/tires. I figured so. I guess you didn't have any luck selling it.

What about specs on the SAS?

Fine, call me a hater. I just don't believe until I see. There is only one supercharger for the OHC and it was limited production(very limited). And your claims of a Lightning tranny. Not unbelievable, just highly unlikely. And the 330hp makes me laugh.

We are either going to do some FS roads around Amicalola Falls or Beasley in about 2-3 weeks...not sure when though. If you want to go, post in the thread that says Dawsonville, GA "Offroad Run"

I noticed it says ESTIMATED hp 330.
You may want to refigure that number.
Espicially if you are talkin' rear wheel.
