Looks like the handling is amazing for that size of a truck.
Good job on the suspension mods. What have you done to the motor?

The motor is the stock Eaton supercharged 5.4 from the factory, 80,000miles on it. The ony mods are an AFE intake, a set of DMR Cogged pullies for the supercharger which up boost from 8psi to 11psi, and a full exhaust consisting of Stainlessworks 1-3/4 to 3" headers and midpipes, with Random tech metal matrix cats, a home made SS H-pipe and a pair of SLP Loudmouth 2 bullet mufflers.

There are a few other minor mods like dual 16" efans fun by a DCControls FK60, U/D WP pulley, performance valvebody, and a Kincaid performance Killer Chiller system which actively cools the intercooler fluid using the A/C, which I have recharged with es12a refridgerant.

I also dropped the rear end from 3.73 to 3.31 to make the low end power a bit more manageable in the turns.

If you ever get into doing more to that motor, take a look at Magnusons TVS or high helix compressors. They do not have a direct fit (that I know if) but it would be WILD what it would do in terms of power.
