Yea it works smartass ha. When ever i shutoff the ignition it stays at the last recorded rpm because it has an air core meter. if i put the ignition to on, but notstarted, it resets to 0, i just didnt do that for the pic that day.

i had a set of those poverty caps on my truck when i got it, along with the grey steel wheels, eeugh. i had to take the wheels off my old ranger. i liked the rip in the seat as well. you should at least get a set of beauty ring or something. (not that my truck is a real looker)

The reason i put sleeper, is that i wanna lower it, put a 4.0 in it with a supercharer kit, and keep the stocker wheels, and bench seat and such. Its just something ive got in my head, so i thought i'd throw that in there so people arent confused anymore. And yea, i'm gettin a set of beauty rings when i get back from school. Its not a beauty queen, and i dont intend on it to be. Im not puttin pimp ass aluminum foil rims on it and im not gonna put a candy pearl paint job on it, i just want it to kick some ass and take some names haha. So yea, hope that cleared it up, hope you enjoy...

why waste ur time with doing the 4.0 swap then supercharging it, ur gonna have to build the 4.0 from the ground up to withstand and extended supercharger activity, what u could do which will be considerable cheaper is get a 2.3T from a turbo coupe and build that, will cost u considerable less, and u can easily make the same power....now THAT would be sleeper, cause u will still have the 2.3 that came stock in ur truck...they just wont know what hit em until the turbo spools......
