home safely

Well guys the trip to BTS was a huge success. what a great bunch of people the thompson family is. i now have a brand new BTS, and while i was there i got some of Cales tunes on a 4 position chip. and oh man how i love the 120race. i figured that myself, and granger the person who rode with me spent about 26hours in the front seats of my truck, and with a grand total of 1,400 miles driven round trip. thats including the side trip to the my grandpas farm. i must say that one of the highlights of driving up there and back was the Dennis hopper tunnel off 540 outside of fayatteville haha if that can be considered a highlight. and we had even more fun driving home, and getting lost numerous times in oklahoma at 11:00pm last night.

so thats my trip in a nut shell. and now after seeing cale, and jeremys(BTS employ) truck i cant wait to spend more money on my own truck.

And to everybody who wished me a safe trip, Thank You

thanks,Austin

the transmission is awesome. the shifts are very crisp, and there is no lag at all in the shifts. i am very happy with the transmission. last night myself, and rubberduck off here got kinda bored so we went out to the highway to jack with some dodges, at 2:00am haha. if i had to make the trip back up there ever, i would not hesitate to do so.

thread hijack: is the van turbo a direct bolt in, if not what do you have to modify?
