Just gonna think out loud for a minute...

Yes I know my truck is not considered in racing terms as "fast", but it will run with most of the other trucks and alot of cars. For what it is, I'm happy with it.

Before I started any kind of performace mods, the 0-60 was seriously around 13.5 seconds... Couldn't even run with the mini vans lol

Now after everything I have done to it performace wise, I am around 9 to 9.5 seconds on the 0-60. For shaving over 4 seconds off that time, I can say I'm pretty proud of that. So as far as performance goes, I am completely 100% absolutely done with mods for it... After I get my new exhaust put on next week :roflsquared:

Of course, I smoke Fords all day long :********: Might not be able to keep up with the Hemis and such but hey, it's a 12 year old small block 318... I think I'm getting well worth my money out of it the way she runs and performs.

So to wrap it all up, I love my truck and could not be happier with it! Getting a Ram was the best thing by far that I've ever done! :D

A Cummins swap is next as far as performance, but that's gonna be a long time from now... So for now, I'm happy with it!

Was this some type of rare truck? i did not think they made rcsb cummins?

They didn't, in order to have a rcsb cummins, you have to do the engine swap yourself. Supposedly everything bolts right up though
