That's the look, right there. Bone stock on the outside, bone crushing on the inside. I can't wait for your next ruination project!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Literally haven’t done anything with the truck since parking it, except stare at it longingly as I pass by... Garage is getting sorted over this long weekend.
Current situation:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
You guys made me feel a little guilty for neglecting the ol’ girl, so I moved some crap outta the way to fire her up and let her breathe a little. Love the sound of the BTR cam at idle

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I didn't realize that you used the Holley Terminator X setup. Do you like it so far?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
As soon as I saw Holley was releasing it, I returned the FiTech immediately and put the TermX on order. Liking it very much, so far. Super easy to setup and fired up on the first try. No real time driving to comment on the learning capabilities, but all indications are that it should be good.
