    I got about 16.5 average all highway driving to NC. Some mountain areas are factored in there. I am usually in vacuum, no boost while just driving around. Now, accelerating from a light on the other hand...

    I average about 14-15 with mixed city/hwy

    I was merging onto 28 today to pick up the jack stands and some idiot was braking to merge and there was nobody there. I dropped into second and went around him with the tires chirping and traction lights going crazy. I love forced induction. Im not familiar with turbos, but hope they are as fun as superchargers. Im just worried about the dreaded "turbo lag".

    Thanks again for those jack stands. Ill get them back to you soon. I might be able to drop them off next weekend unless you are in the area and want to stop by to pick them up I can text you my address.

    next weekend, I think I am doing some mods with other guys at my place. I will probably need to get them from you Sunday night or Monday afternoon, as I need them when I am doing my brake rotors.

    I have read that dimpled are better than drilled, as some drilled rotors arent done right and can cause the rotor to crack. Not sure how true that is but if i read it on the interwebs it has to be true, right?

    No. Just my bumper, winch, and new fog lights. Fogs and winch are mounted on the bumper already.

    Also, I made the last post and instantly remembered that the mounting brackets and plate washers were in the backyard. :rofl: They're in the truck now.

    I'm tempted to buy those icons on Craigslist but I would never use them to their full capacity.
