Love that truck power 454

When you put your foot into it, these trucks can move.
Needed to make a lane change, was surprised at how fast I was able to do it.
Now the agile part needs some work, but wow.

Re: Love that truck power 454

Tell me about it. I took my dad's 454 power C20 out for the first time in months earlier this week. Mines quick with the small block but damn that rat hauls, forgot exactly how much torque it puts out until I nailed it getting out onto the highway. Can't wait to get my 454 installed.

Re: Love that truck power 454

I guess it's all relative. My 454 is a pig compared to my father's 05 Hemi Dodge.
