It used to be the same here but in the last 6 months I've noticed less and less of the trucks but way more Volkswagens lol. Nothin funnier than a family sedan straight piped and and a big cloud coming out. I've also seen a 90's Toyota landcruiser with dual exhaust rollin it on light acceleration. What a bunch of tools.

Even with stage I's I put out smoke when I screw up and I'm not in the right gear. I can hear the conversation now with the officer. But sir, I was just trying to get this thing moving so as to not hold up traffic. LOL

Dodge guy " what seem to be the officer problem"
Officer"You know what you did back there"
Dodge guy"No"
Officer" you blacked out the whole intersection and cause an accident"
Dodge guy "really I was just trying to keep up with the flow of traffic"

A few years ago after my mods on the late great mare I was pulled over after testing the s366 etc. When the cop came up to the window I was laughing and said, "you got me". He reduced the fine way down!

Go my TORCO tc yesterday, talk about fast shipping. Well anyway removed the tranny in 1hr thanks to the shop lift, and tranny jack After removing and inspecting my tc and tranny found I had an hd tc this tranny has never been removed, was this an option back in 95? Took some pics to enjoy!


Stock tc












Chit most of my pics erased
Well theres the ones that got saved

Test drove the truck and definitely tell a difference, I ordered the 1900 rpm stall and converter and im feeling more power is getting delivered to the ground faster, its a nice unit but time will tell will report aftet I put some miles on the Mule and a plus, what I thought was a normal sound while doing wot runs was my tc giving me a cry for help
