    Because its a truck and its got 217k miles on it and I paid $3800 for it last year and traded a 12v cummins p pump for a nitrous express wet kit and remote bottle opener and I only paid $45 for the p pump and then the flowmaster muffler was free and the CAI was $60 off eBay and the programmer was $100 so if ya don't understand it's a truck there's millions of them and I wanna do it cheap and it's been on the dyno as well and made 282 rwhp and 324 ft lbs on nitrous on a stock 4.8 with 217k miles therefore its a budget truck with some performance

    I had 260k miles when I did my cam swap. This isn't your grandpas 350 that's gonna barely make it to 250k without needing some serious love. These LS motors will basically last forever.
