Thanks guys. I can't find my timeslip now! Anyways, I had the truck tuned by Westers since he's close to me here. I'm going to have it done again when I stick the 6.3 into it. I'll be upgrading to the 4L80 soon afterwards.
I just got back from cruising downtown tonight. The lights aren't synced very well so it makes for good stoplight racing. There was a guy in an '07 Mustang GT convertible and I pulled up beside him at the lights. It sounded really good. I yelled to him, "is it fast"? he said it had a turbo so I asked what kind. He told me it was a Roush. The guy's a tool, I clearly heard his blower whine over mine. I proceeded to blow him away three times in a row before he gave up. Way too funny. Just before the last one he said "yeah, yours is pretty fast, too"... so I told him his wasn't LOL! This truck is way too much fun and I don't even have my big engine in it yet.

I'm seriously considering buying HP Tuners. As far as using it goes, I'd be a little lost but I'm sure I can figure it out. I was thinking of having Westers do the base tune for the new engine and injectors and then tweaking it from there. I know that if I want the tune to be perfect, there will be a ton of reading and experimentation to get things right.
As far as beating mustangs goes, I've always had it out for those cars. The guys that drive them need to be put in their places, as the attitude oozes to the extreme. Most of the guys who own them can't drive them well, especially the guys with the manual transmissions. It makes for easy pickin's. I do enjoy a good ricer kill, too. In fact when I was almost home last night there was a kid in a Prelude who was looking for a race. We eyed each other really quick and both hit it at the same time. We both jammed the brakes and turned right onto another road. When he got close I hit it again and left him behind. He immediately took the next turn off.
To date, I've only been beat by a 370Z in a roll on. That was before my current pulley setup though. There are lots of guys with nice cars in this town, but it seems they're either too slow or the drivers are inexperienced. The 4wd coupled with 4.10's and the Magnusen makes these trucks stoplight killers.

Don't get me wrong the guys car sounds good but he needs to drive a Miata or something.
Anyway I normally don't tell any stories that happen but, I thought you guys might want to hear it lol..
