also, on state emissions, i think in texas they only check cars that are 2 years old and up and then around certain age which i think is for like 20 year old cars, they dont even care. Then their so called emissions check is making sure you have a muffler on your car lol

my guess is like 350 wheels? (which is a ****load...and if he yields that, i'll be mirroring his mods)
but hopefully i'm wrong. if he's done more than that, i may follow in his footsteps. i mean, it cost alot, and i am slowly realizing it's not worth doing everything possible and spending SOOO much to have a fairly fast truck....i mean, yes, the fastest v6 ram in the world probably, but not as fast as like a srt...

Derrick you make me right on not being as fast as an SRT-10 but with a built motor and a lot of weight taking out you could probably kill some hemi rams. 
Every 100 lbs of weight lost is like gaining 15 hp. So lose a 1000lbs theres 120hp as much as a supercharger, and if your like twink who has one already on and he is getting rid of weight you will have a fairly fast truck that will make v8 guys cry.

it will make v8 truck guys cry...yea. i have a stingray and z28 though. so like, yea. i may have a fast truck, but i can hop in either of those cars then get back into truck and it will feel like a dog. my old dakota had a 5.9 in it and i loved it. i am considering doing it again...or with an s10, and do an engine swap throwing the lt1 in my camaro into s10, and an ls1 in the z. i am so excited. someone near me is selling a 13.4 second dakota for 8.5k. it has a wicked paint job (i actually hate hte paint, but i am not gonna say its not badass). and this guy ran a 13.4 last year when he didnt yet have drag radials and the new 456 gears. i wanna just sell my ram and maybe even my stingray and buy it. he emailed me pics. i will post them when i am not on my phone

and the brdige that i cant cross is getting some sort of forced air induction on my ram. i mean, all that modding and pretty much harming your engine and adding a ****load more maintenance than necesarry...all for a "pretty fast" truck...that will probably snap a belt every now and again. and gas will be ****...not that mileage will be big concern...but still...all of the need for power in our v6 just to keep up with a v6 charger
