I just wanted to see how many members were thinking about serious modifications. Everyone wants Viper Replica wheels, I say lets get some Viper power to go with it.

Eric, no doubt.

hendrixx324, now your talking.

This truck has really grown on me, I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I have. I originally bought it just so me and the girlfriend and our kids could all fit in it, since my other 3 cars are sports cars and we cannot all fit in any of them. I would really like to do some of these things you listed, but cant afford the downtime on our only 5 passenger vehicle. Plus I do not want to void the warranty right now. In about 2 years or 25k miles when its not covered under warranty I may dabble with some of those things. Maybe in less time if i sell my vette and get something more family friendly in its place. It just sits in the garage anyways I have driven it less the 1000 miles the past two years, since hooking up with the current girlfriend lol, mainly on 5 mile runs to my parents house on the weekends. It is an awesome car but we have a newborn and two other kids and its a convertible 2 seater and its a shame to just let it sit there.

Until then I will have to be content reading about and learning from what you and the other people doing some pretty awesome performance mods are doing and hoping one day I will be able to dive in with you all!

Travis, you are going to be just fine I think there will be a couple of shocked people by the end of your project.
I still like this stuff, but you knew that lol.

Ruger, Travis would be the one to ask about the Superchips and Valve body combo. I don't think his truck liked it but I know the Valve body does really well with SCT.
