So when i went to check on the progress, and got me a little surprise!, I had origionally looked into, and asked about the FAST intake and throttle body., and then ultimately decided it was not in the budget at the moment.
Well low and behold, I walk up to the car and what do I see!!...

Well, I'm still holding out, in hopes that Kevin Stearn's - intentionally set that up as a way of sponsoring and or advertisement for Tilden Motorsports and Pacific Fabrication. - I definitely didn't authorize it, I decided with the minimal hp gains, I would distribute my funds elsewhere, but how can one say, hey, I don't want go fast parts, once they are already on! ?
On the down side, is I was looking at chipping my 2016 Ram MegaCab Diesel, but since the right thing to do, would be pony up, I now have to not get those go fast parts for my daily driver.
I haven't consulted with him, only with his parts manager, so we'll see where this goes once we actually consult on it.(fingers crossed). He'll make it good...He's a great guy, and really like his passion of the sport.

I definitely agree with you there. It also helps if they look pretty under the hood too!.

All in all, I'm just eager to get behind the wheel, and be able to drive this
5 yr plus project. Its been way too long of a road, and riddled with empty promises and unrealistic completion dates. I'm sure it will be all worth it once I can enjoy it.

Forgelines came in! ~ had to tweak width a bit.



Color is like a chameleon certain angle looks bright and lustful,

other angle looks bronze and flat. Wasn't quite expecting the bronze.


kinda cool.

Forgeline did a great job.

Thank's, can't wait to see it out in the sun.

Yea, I believe so, I haven't' seen it on the ground, but guys at the shop said they left a spacer on the backside to have a bit more clearance away from the inner wheel well. outside is maxed out.
Wheel ended up as a 12.5" - 6 3/8" B.S.
