I'm with you Bow ...I don't want to think about it ...I work hard ...so I want to play harder.

I've done all the small stuff (I think) ...now it's onto the expensive stuff ...

I'm thinking I'm going to go with the package I spoke about on my pully post ...$2500 for: cam swap, roller rockers, push rods, diablo tuner, dyno, pully.

Ram air hood - $???
3.73 gears - $1400.00
Upgraded brake system - $1400-$1500
Sound system - $2000
Supercharger - $3500

I can truely understand those articles that I've read in magazine when people are saying they have over $20K in aftermarket parks ...I will probably wind up hitting at least $10K by the time I'm done ....Thank God I got that promotion/raise. lol

07- I don't know what you do, but I need your job. You just bought a new truck and have already spent more than I can in 2 years. Looks like I went into the wrong line of work.

Yeah and I work my *** off for it. I am self employed you might say. Drive an 18 wheeler through all 48 states. In Atlanta right now and on my way to the northeast.

Damn the life of a trucker must be rough traveling especially leaving your fun toy behind at home.
