Anyone run their 8.1 at the track?

Just curious to see what kind of ETs they are putting down.

off topic, but I just checked out the pic of your new burb vs the finished old one. It just looks too plain now compared to your last one. I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Oh yeah, huge difference between the two! I can almost hear the "drum roll" as we wait to see how the HD hood, grill and bumper will go on. I'll be taking a trip by the bodyshop later today to see how things are going.

How come you went w/ just an HD hood and not and HD cowl or ram air hood?

tbyrne · December 12, 2001

The regular HD hood will give the truck a more aggressive look that might may people look twice to figure out what's different because it looks factory.

Heading out to HRP tonite for the "green light" run to embarass myself - wish I had spent my mis-spent youth drag racing instead of playing pool so that I would know what to do when I get there, but that is half the fun.

Update: monsoon rains came through today, didn't get to HRP - not sure how to report 1/4 times with an 1" of rain on the track. ???
