that does look sweet!!!!!! I tore the front end out of my Blazer a few days ago but once I get it fixed I'll start working on my truck again. I hope I can get it to look even half as good as yours.

thanks pwrtripls1, i'm sure yours will be much faster than mine though so far the tires have not seemed to effect the acceleration much at all. just makes it ride a heck of a lot better. i don't have a tach so i'm not sure how to answer your question about the RPM's correctly. it just seems to ride and drive better than before. you have to remember there hasn't been anything done to the pump (yet....) all i have done was put a 3 inch straight pipe in and a BHAF on it. waiting on my HX35 and 5" exhaust...then the fun will really start
