Excited!!!

Sorry guys, I am very excited and want to tell someone and my girlfriend doesnt care. lol But I called Dave at DI lastnight and ordered a set of polished headers! I cant wait until I go to BTS next week pick up the new motor and get to install the headers! Now all I want to order is an intercooler....oh and I ordered a set of high strengh chromemoly heat treated pushrods from Dave also for my new motor!

I am told it will lower EGT's and quicker spool up. instead of exhaust gases comming out of the head and bouncing off of the 90* turn of the manifolds it will flow better causing quicker spool up......plus the sound badass and look great!

The drive home will be a good way to get some break-in time on the engine.

I wish you were passing by closer,I would like to see your truck.
