It was a cool day and I don't have a bottle warmer yet so I guess it was the best I could do. In the rear all I have is the stock suspension and slicks. I was surprised how well it hooked. But I only have 3.42 gears so that is probably part of the reason. When I bought those gears I was still wanting to drive the truck and get good mileage. I am getting 17-18 mpg so not too bad. That is all going to change soon. I am back halfing the truck and increasing the cubic inches either by stroking my smallblock or starting fresh with a bigblock.

man nice set up. i will be crazy happy if mine even runs 14s with my new 400sbc set up

need to redeem myself from the 17.0 stock 305 time
