Great story haha. I just get sick of cars tryin to race me cause they never really stand a chance. But i try not to do it to much cause i burn more gas doing it than they are worth.

How much did u pay all together to get those 4.56's installed? and how much did u pay for the gears

top end...what i mean is...after 75 MPH it isn't very fast to hit 100 but what am i talking about....i got swampers man.......all in all what I mean is it's quick to hit 70-75MPH but sluggish any higher than that for me.

i hope you went through your break in period before you did that. you should be ok if you drove them a bit beforehand, but don't even think about doing burnouts or anything like that if you just got out of the shop...

oh..k...cool! show those bastards who's boss!!! lol i'm almost jealous that i didn't spring for the 456 just cause it would be fun, but i do a bit of highway now and then and with gas prices i figured i would go conservative. i got 410 instead and i run a 31" tire. it's not bad, but not badass either..lol. congrats on the new gears. great story btw...

If that was your day rounded off with some beer in the evening... I'd say that's a good 24hrs!
