    Other than all of the hype- I've ridden in a few vehicles with them and was overly impressed with the aggressive look, and quiet road noise for an M/T. So far, they've done well.
    I don't mud the truck, but from what I've read on the STTPro's they excel in that terrain as well.

    Would it make sense to line x spray the end caps white? I currently have chrome end caps and I want them white. Just not sure how yet

    Depends on your plans with it. You can always have the caps painted at a body shop or have them wrapped in vinyl from a place that does decals

    That there S/C love. A lot less power is needed to make them turn...that ebing said, I need to install my HT speedo calibrator still :oops:

    That's true- some wont becuase it may not stick. You would have to sand it all down and prime it is my guess.

    Do you have to run premium with the super charger?

    It's the same power to turn the tires, it's just less foot mashing on the gas pedal to accomplish the power :p

    If I had street tires on, it would have been game over haha. But then again, I would have sat there spinning

    I didn't know that it was a diesel. I just had enough time to get cell out to take a pic. We literally just got there.

    Ford had a bad day in diesel and gas runs overall IMO. Dodge diesels kind of kicked ass. At least a few of them were pretty impressive. I couldn't stay for the all of the elims so I don't know final results.

    I wonder how tricked out the Dodges were compared to the Fords, or what engines each had. In my experience with a few of my buddy's diesels, a stock 6.7 Powerstroke will run with even a mildly souped 6.7 Cummins, and a very tricked out 6.6 Duramax will outrun almost all of them.

    There were a hell of a lot of Dodges there. Plenty of Chebbies. A few Fords. For some reason the Dodges kicked ass and most seemed to be "tuned a little bit". I didn't didn't watch all the races so Ford may have done well. It just seemed that the majority of trucks (diesel) lining up to race were Dodge.
