Default kickin up some dust today

went out after work today and was beatin on the savage. in the video i was holding the camera with one hand and controlling the truck with the other hand. i took a couple pics, they are still uploading to photobucket, i will post them later.
here is the short video i took.

here are the pics, just two.





if you notice in the vid how the rpm is kinda high after i let off the throttle, its probably because the silicone coupling from the header to the exhaust is ripped. i need a new one.

Did you set your truck to shift earlier? or am I hearing things.. It sounds like it's getting second gear right away..
