It sounds sweet! I'd take it for a spin without exhaust!

Always a good feeling to hear them run the first time. Sounds good, a good exhaust system and she'll be sounding real good. Might look like a sleeper but definitely not sound like a sleeper.... :wink:

the track sucked was there 4 hours and only got 1 pass. did not push it shifted at like 5200 and let out when it went into 3rd and ran a 13.34 @91 mph. we think it should get into a low 12 or high 11

Very cool, but like I said definitely not a sleeper sound, but I like it.

the transmission had been leaking so i pulled it and took it to trans king. the truck just did not pull in 3rd gear. to run a low 13. @95 mph i think the mph should have been higher. i talked to trans king today and they said that should be done in a few days. they said that the leak would have did what it was doing not pulling hard in 3rd gear. so i hope this fixes every thing.
