Hey, thanks for taking the time to physically check it out. Now I have a starting point.:goodjob:

You may have a point. I suppose "dubs" don't look awesome on everything. I would have to stand them up next to the truck before I would commit. Maybe some 30's with ultra low profile tires?:cookoo:

Good ideas. I will be meeting with my truck builder tomorrow and he specializes in military trucks. I'm hoping maybe he has some ideas as well. If I come up with a definitive answer or other ideas from him, I will post it.

I agree, 60 seems a little ambitious and I will really have no way to substantiate it anyway. I'm going to start with the water/meth and see if it improves mpg and "feels" any more powerful. Then maybe turn up the pump and see what happens.
