Horsepower wise...

Power wise...

Speed wise...

Reliability wise...


Mickey Thompson @ 4 Stroke Tech will do these mods. ANyone ever had any dealings with Mickey & co? Also exactly what will the do to my motor if I send it to them and will they send me my stock parts back ?

LOL, yes I meant Dunlap I didnt even notice. I have been thinking about putting some mickey thompson tires on my truck so. What do you mean 5 or 6 'pucker points'? What is that, lol. Do you think it will wake it up even more and make it scream alot? Also in doing this will it stay reliable, or do I need to add an aftermarket radiator? Thanks.

pucker factor is a scale from 1 to 10

1 would be a scare or thrill that would make your rear end "pucker" just a bit

10 would be an event that caused your rear end to try and eat your shorts, riding pants and 3/4 of your seat cover:devil:


as for as the 470 kit, i'd pick up the phone and give Mickey a call. i havent heard a ton aboutthem first hand so im hesitant to say how they will do

Thanks, anyone else ? By the way is 5 or 6 points pretty good ?
