Shai Hulud's Livernois Built 2014 "Blue Thunder"

So, after 23 weeks of sheer misery, the 2014 finally arrived in Northwestern Wyoming all the way from Livernois Motorsports in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. I've got to give a big shout out to all of the guys at Livernois who worked extremely hard on this project to deliver a truly NASTY beast to me 2 days prior to my 42nd birthday. My 5 year old son says the truck sounds like thunder (which makes my dog bark and cower in fear everytime the truck roars to life) therefore I have informally nicknamed the truck "Blue Thunder" in honor of him. Several order status details below along with a few teaser pics for now. More to follow with modification details and performance numbers in the build-up category. Enjoy!

Livernois is supposed to be putting together a build video of this truck that will be uploaded to Youtube in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, I will try to get some some sound clips posted up here as soon as I can. The sound of the Whipple supercharger coupled with the full SW ceramic coated headers and lightning exhaust is truly frightening!

Shai Hulud,
She's a beauty. 15.6 mpg...what I get at 55 on the flat highways of Long Island. Was that being conservative with the right pedal?
