you are giving me bad ideas... i am so jealous... i want more power so
bad. so is your truck still very streetable then?? it would seem like it
would be. that it is a ton of power, but seems like it could an on command
thing, with the boost and nitrous... so do you still drive it a lot on
the road then?? i am looking forward to reading your parts list. there are
going to be dakotas all over the country stomping on everything that gets
into our ways after hearing of your truck...
