Default First Run ever in the 6-Speed.

Just ran my truck last night for the first time pretty much just for something to do since the pulls near my house were cancelled. Just let me know what use think. I think she did pretty good for a manual transmission. The run was a 15.4 at 87 MPH.

Left in 2nd in 4wheel HI. First run tried second 2W and smoked the 35's to the 60 foot mark and wasnt liking that to much. So i turned it to four wheel.
