Awesome to hear the results & a company stand behind what they sell. Interested to hear continued MPG findings if you are keeping tabs.

You answered the same on the LQ-9 as I would have. High compression is great for some racers, but with the power these things can make on 87 & keeping it Pemex safe, etc. the LQ-4 seems like the better choice.

Are you using the E4OD you had, or did you swap GM trans too?

Weighed the truck while still loaded from the 500 this week so I can get new leafs on it this summer. Perfect 37/63 weight distribution.

Got my new leafs. Short dirt test and they are a huge improvement and no more goofy leaf/coil combo on the rear. I can really feel how under shocked the rear is now, needs big bypasses. Will be fun to give them a real workout at the 1000.

Looks and sounds like you had a blast, great write up. I had a friend trying to get me to race the DM 150 in my bronco, maybe I will give it a go next year.
