Wet streets are fun - but frustrating if you're headed up a steep hill
on slick blacktop! HA! A lock right is next on my list, Brian!!!!
They should be available for my truck at the end of the month!

You shouldn't be in any health danger. On the other hand, you will
scare
the crap out of small animals and old people. Oh well ;-). Open
headers
are loud - VERY loud!! btw - Cops will notice this too,
unfortunately, so
try to be as conspicuous as possible.
I don't 'member the stats on your truck, but 16.186 with 3.21 open is
good.
Next on the list should be a limited slip of some sort. Mine used to
have
a single track - it made wet streets fun! =)
