ok after upping the boost a bit and a tank of gas also scared the wife and i quote "oh shit 101mph lol!" i got 21mpg as soon as i get over the turbo im hoping for around 26mpg and with an eventual 3.9 rear gear it should only get better.
oh and after i pried the truck away from my pops i found my throttle is only opening 3/4 of the way this whole time. i think ill leave that for now as a regulator :lol:

now on to find a grill...

been commuting this truck for a few tanks and have gotten over the i gotta a turbo luv thing and was able to trim the boost back down to about 9-10psi so far i am seeing about 22mpg avg hopefully i can figure out and easy way to change the rear gears. whether it be changing the whole rear end or i get lucky and find a 410 or 390.

oh yea and i already banged up the bed starated whipping the tail around and forgot i had parts in the back. it was bound to happen :D
