Truck turned 3 today!!!

That's right. She's 3 years old today. She was born on March 15th of 2000 and its the 15th of march in 2003. The trucks came a long way. Back when i first got it, i told myself it was fast enough and i was leaving it stock. HAH!
Slowly, I added small things to it and it got addicting. The frist thing i got for it was a mass air meter and a new cone filter. Then i got a chip and then a pulley to go with the chip. Then i got JDM's cat back Silver Bullet exhaust. Then i got a gauge pillar and an air fuel gauge, and a boost gauge to read over the stock 10 pounds of boost. Then i installed 2" drop shackels and really love how it looks. The last and most recent thing i've done to it was the Factory tech valve body. I really like how it drives now. It ran a 13.8 stock and hopefully now it'll be into the 12's. Tomorrow I am going to the track in Indiana, us41 to celebrate the big 3rd birthday of the truck. Thanks for everyone help. Shane
The first pic i took of my truck

Here's the most recent pic i took of it.

Shane,

"Tight rig!". Almost as "purty" as mine!

I just got back home from hanging out w/Phil here in Medina, OH (he has a '02 True Blue L). Good guy!

Best of luck at 41!

Ronald

Will that mess it up if i have the program on my chip for 93? It's not detonating or pinging at all... But, can i still get some good use out of the 103 octane if i went with a 1/4-1/2 tank of that?

Naw you wont get any use out of it unless your chip adds more timing. With higher octane, you can increase timing and gain some power.

i figured since it was her birthday, give her something nice
