Actually my Dak isn't a daily driver and yes I LOVE to beat the piss out of
it whenever I get a safe opportunity to, that's what I bought it for, if I
can't slam gears and hit the rev limiter occasionally(very occasionally) I
go into some severe withdrawals. So I guess I have a different view on what
I want out of my truck then you do for yours. So I think I will get the
Hughes 53MM TB. I already have a 50MM and Mark has a 52MM so I'll compare
the three at the only place you can get a real idea of what they can do....a
dragstrip.
