Got some miles in yesterday. Truck did great and is really fun to drive. I didn't do any burnouts. A couple observations:

1. I am surprised how well it hooks up and goes straight from a dead stop. I assumed it would spin the tires without much input.
2. The LS really makes it feel more like a modern driver than I expected.
3. I thought it would have a greater sense of speed being that it sits pretty low but I am always going faster than I feel like I am

Retrosound works great on bluetooth if the truck is not running. With the truck running it wants to skip through the Spotify playlists at mach 1. I'm going to call Retro and see what they say.

I do see a supercharger in its future
