Wtf? How old ARE YOU grammpa?
Your blood pressure goes up...
Yeah, it's really high sometimes. I'm supposed to go see a doctor about it, but I don't like going to the doctor. My last time in for a DOT physical, they only would give me a 1-year card because of my high BP. I have to get it checked out or I won't be able to renew it next time.

Part of the high BP could be because of all the stupidity in the world today!!

Thought I'd provide an update.
On Sunday 2/3 got it all back together and took it for its first drive, runs pretty good (still could use some more tuning). Over 20lbs of vacuum at idle and idling at ~600 in drive, has a nice rumble and is what some might call stupid loud at wot. Been driving it for the past few days to work and school without issues.
Timed a 0-60 with the air cleaner not flipped and bed still full of junk and it went 0-60 in 7.44 seconds, which about a year ago I did a 0-60 when it was stock on the same stretch of road and it was 10.60 seconds, so a pretty respectable increase if I say so myself, considering it has 28" tall tires and 3.08 gears.

@Rusty Nail you ask and shall receive, well somewhat... This was on the first road test and only got up to around 50, didn't really get into the secondaries at all, I'll get some better footage soon of it, it reminds me somewhat of the Roadkill muscle truck when it kicks down into second.

Is it true our trucks are faster with the hood off?
