Thanks for the compliments. I love the VHX gagues one of the best things I put in the truck. The Eagle wheels are nice I just wish the back half of the barrlels where polished out like the fronts. I installed the A/C unit and condenser myself and had a shop do the hoses and service it for me, it was an easy install and works great much better than the factory unit I took out.

Just read your thread after seeing your post in the "what did santa bring" thread. Truck is bada$$!!! I'm curious about your thoughts on the Holley fuel injection once you get it dialed in. I'm going to be putting a 468 in my GMC and I've been wondering about what fuel injection to run... You can be my guinea pig

[big d's red67]

Thanks. I would be glad to be your guinea pig lol. I will be doing a write up on the whole install and how well it works, I haven't seen "one of us" that dose our own wrenching do the Termenator set up. I have done a lot of research on the most popular EfI's they all seem like good units. I chose the Holley mostly because I have always used Holley carbs.

Yeah I saw how wet it was. I bet that sucked trying to keep your truck clean.

[big d's red67]

It rained Friday on the way down and it got real dirty had to do a massive clean up Saturday morning but after that it wasn't to bad. I've got Adams products to clean and detail with, that helped a lot. Good stuff. It was fun anyway. You going to the NSRA show in OKC with your truck next month?

Hey Kool-aid man!!

[big d's red67]

Oh yeah!!! That's air brushed not a sticker. The battery has been great, I have Holley EFI a big stereo system,VHX gages,I pull a lot of load on it and it has never let me down. I would definently buy one again.
