Sorry you ported my head brother....The credit in this truck all goes to my brother Justin Bowling and Randy Messersmith and some help of other friends...Without them I could never have gotten the truck where its at now.

It was my brother WFO on here. I just wish we could do the intake. Not sure how much of a difference it will actually make but he took about an 1/8's inch out of every port, then polished them. It looked good.

Grinding aint fun but if there is true gain it would be worth it. Problem is nobody does just that and then dyno. Everybody does a bunch of mods and then they dont know what they gained. I would like to know.
