It scoots lol. I dont think ive gotten out of 2nd gear in a hard pull yet. There is still work to be done in the WOT tuning as well, so it should only get better. Ill see If I can get a WOT video on lunch.

Few pictures outside of work on lunch. Exhaust is getting finished on Tuesday (3" from muffler to over the axle and dumping just behind the bumper/quarter pannel)

Damn just read this whole thread, awesome build! Looks like you know what you're doing. I bet that thing will be a beast to drive after you get everything tuned in! Again, great work!

Just been driving the truck and working out a few kinks. Cant get it to manually shift into first, something with my shift cable I think. Other than that, tune is almost dialed in, waiting on another update.

Got the exhaust done. Ran 3" from the muffler back, dumping out in the corner of the bed, at an angle down. You can only see maybe 1/2" of the end of the pipe, cut off so its level with the ground. I really like how it came out. Truck is nice and quiet inside (almost too quiet lol) no pictures of that yet.

Got my 20% done today as well.

Should have some nice videos from this weekend. Big car show/cruise/burnout contest etc.

not really sure yet. Probably wont do anything paint/body wise until next winter/spring. It kind of depends what color I go with and if I go back to a chrome front bumper or color matched.

I'm with big buttons. That thing has a perfect stance.

Ya i really like the stance after bringing the rear up 1". Rides much better too.

no real updates. Just been driving it. Have about 700 miles on it so far. Still working on getting the tune dialed in. It hooks real nice with these 275 Hankooks. Love them and they ride great.

I think I calculated my 0-60 to be in the 4.5 range. That was a while ago, might have gotten better with the retunes. No good videos yet.

Picked up some cleared Denali lights with the M1 retrofit already done. Been waiting to find some.

Picture of the engine bay. Still needs some cleaning. Can see my 4" PVC intake. Sort of ghetto, but it works great and it was about the best solution I came up with to work with the TB angled up and a bigger TB. Good enough for $20. Need to figure out an engine cover though.
