Not to mention a couple of miles better gas millage and horse power. I've done it on several F-150 P/U's and haven't regretted it, it sure improved the towing speed on steep grades especially here in the west. It also let the engine run cooler. de 73's Archie - W7ACT

I'm delivering the car tomorrow I'm doing a bunch of final cleaning, detailing and tuning today. I'll put it on the trailer tonight and hit the road in the morning. We will try to take a few decent photos before its gone. Can't do it outside though, too sloppy out there. The ground is froze hard in the morning but by 10am it gets too juicy to be rolling that thing around outside. Something clever here.
