I will Edit this post soon with Videos and a Pic of my Timeslip. But just want to make it official on the Forum being that I annouced it on the Facebook group. 5 passes and 104,500 miles on the STOCK BOTTOM END.

INSANE! Congrats. :cheers:

Congrats, Sean... that is a HUGE accomplishment! You inspire me to keep wrenching on mine :D
Like we discussed.... there's more in that tune, but I think this is a good place to stop ;) ...for now.

Just want to make a couple things clear. Being that I'm only 22 years old, graduated from Auto tech school, and working my way up in the Automotive field, I've been keeping things on my own Budget. I have a lot of Respect for the other Big guns and members that have been here since the beginning. I was hooked when I went to the KC Nationals in 1999 with my Dad.

Being that most Big Guns and other guys have their Careers established and such, funds for me at the moment are getting there. I'm trying to do the best I can with the funds and time I have. I've reached 10's which was my goal and now it's the next phase in the Build.

I want to build a Stronger engine this winter, I have 2 Doors and a Tailgate in my Room that still needs to get painted so that I can get rid of the small rust on the truck, and that's basically it.

Some items that some people say are a necessity to go fast and reliable is a 4L80E, Built engine, Standalone ECU, which I don't have. I'm running a Strong 700r4 that I pieced together over time, stock bottom end that was treated nicely half its life, and Stock ECU. (All within my Budget). I'm sure I'll reach the limits of the Above sometime, but I'm happy with what I got without breaking the bank.

Once again, thanks guys for all the Support! It really means a lot to me which is why I love this group so much. Just wish there was more Follow up Builds out there. That's why I document and show you guys all I do because it's nice to look back at.

I just checked and it looks like you took the number one spot for Code59 1/8 mile as well 😊
