Fact is Tom, my truck is just as streetable as any other dak. I have no
driveability problems, and cruise through town all the time. It's still got
full interior, and is far from a hacked up mess. Ask anybody that went to
Chryslers @ Carlisle, or the meet we had at cecil. Folks at cecil were
amazed I drove the truck 2 hours to get there, beat the hell out of it,
slapped on the radials and went back home, no problem.
I would love to know what my corrected times are, considering I don't have a
decent converter or the right gears YET. God forbid I ever put N20 on this
thing!!!
Oh well, I'll keep up with my bracket racing :~)
later
