I wasnt planning on modding my truck other than the lights Im installing but then I saw an ad for the blower and thought that might be fun.

Im not into having big tires on the back and small ones on the front. That look isnt for me. Id really like all 4 to be the same size but nobody makes a 225/55/16 DR so I had to settle for 255/50/16’s.

Im probably gonna get a Ram clutch for it. I was looking on a Mustang site and they said those are good.

Ive drag raced the car several times. Just once with the current motor but when it ran the same times as it did before theres really no point.

And the aod is such a POS that theres not even a spot on the shifter for second gear. Lame.

I think if I do keep the car Im going to eventually redo the suspension and make it handle. That might have to wait though since its fairly expensive.

I have a ram powergrip hd in my camaro and it handles a 150 shot no problems…still feels like the day I bought the car after all the dyno pulls/ races and nitrous hits.
