but did you really burn all that or did 90% of that just come out as black smoke #causefreighttrain ?
Max effort it doesn't smoke unless from dead stop, also like at 10 psi as soon as j hit accel lol, none smoke except my 4th, unless from dead stop, then they all will.

look at it this way:
2002 wrx 3000lbs 227hp 217tq 20mpg average
2006 LBZ 7100lbs 400hp 800tq 20mpg avarage
it seems like it shouldn't make sense
(i figured the specs i checked were flywheel HP)
Yeah it shouldn't make sense like that, but it does lol. I just miss having a truck that I can drive year round and not worry as much about like my reg cab.

Want to really screw it up, Jeep Wrangler 3900 pounds, 190 hp at the crank, 6 speed manual average is 13.5-14 best ever was 17.4 but that was 60 mph for entire tank no top, doors , carpet or backseat so another 140 pounds less
huge update.....did some maintenance took a oil sample to get tested at 6,000 miles on the oil change, seeing if i can get away with putting that amount of k on a oil change.

Well I said fuck it getting someone to paint it for me so I'm doing the paint work my self as I am very patient
So far that is 3 coats of paint now to wet sand and then paint one more wet layer and then clear coat time . The paint I used is dupli colour paint match from Canadian tire and it is actually very close to matching with the the paint on the truck.

That's good news ....everything is turning out super nice ...just the bumper cap has some imperfections that need some sanding since it's such a big area
