Oh boy. Sorry I can't resist... go buy an 04.5 and put a Smarty on 5.

Better yet, put it on 9.

I love my 04.5.

Very funny Tex. I would like my 12 valve to be quick like my old 04.5 was also!

From what Ive read, seems that a #10 fuel plate, 3 GSK, Boost elbow, and some 370 marine injectors would get me to a decent amount of "quickness".
Oh, and a beefier clutch.

Any thoughts?

Buy an 04.5 Man due to job issues i figured that by this febuary i was going to be straped for money and sold her back in september when i could. and with the left over money i bought my 01.

I am in the process of installing the egde juice with att. but a buddy has it already and im thinking its not the same, better yes but not "dude dont tell my you just fish tailed this dually" on accident*

I only ran my smarty on sw5 b/c i didnt have the fuel or clutch yet

I think a set of 100hp stick may do it and the hot unlock.

I personally like my 2nd gen better than my wife's 3rd. Seems like mine has more personality and there are fewer on the road. Good looking trucks BTW.
