I will be keeping the fender flares; just having re-worked so they will cover better and be a little more "open" on the underside so when I am towing heavy, they won't get near the tires.

I am certainly looking to keep the truck now that it turned out so well; at least that is the plan; you never know how things will turn out.

Now that the truck is within spitting distance of being complete, do you guys know how I go about getting it in magazines?

Nice job, I like the rims.

How does it drive now? Does it feel like your driving a moving truck or is it close to stock?

I think it rides better than stock; the suspension has much more flex.

I'd wait until Optimus is at or near to 100% complete with all its rwhp/tq figures, maybe some track times. Get the nitrous system or dual CP3's you're always talking about.

Honestly if I had the $$$ I would do it up just RIGHT and then pimp it

There's quite a few CR's over 1,000hp now and you gotta represent

I don't think the dual CP3s would do anything now without the bigger turbos because I am not draining the rail as is. I really need someone to tune it up well who knows what they are doing because there are just TOO MANY combinations with all the electronics. You're right though, I want it to be done before it gets "pimped"!

If you'd be kind enough to get it to stop raining out, I would be glad to oblige!
