    Easy come, easy go... But still, nice ass truck fool! I am sure it will be where you want it within the next few months. I agree on the paint work from Dan...and the exhaust, EFILive, CAI, little lift, HIDs, but 20" wheels is gunna be too much. Just do some 18" wheels and get a 10-ply tire with a taller sidewall...

    Its me I cant leave anything alone. The need/want for more power has overcome the want for wheels/tires first, Ill still get them before summer but the built trans will allow me to have alot more fun. Apparently 650ish rwhp is where guys start to bend connecting rods on the LLYs, I have an LBZ which has even stronger rods and a reinforced block so I should be a little safer. Ill run one of the 500-550rwhp tunes, just to be on the safe side, I dont want to do a motor swap on the Dmax.
