I think my truck sounds badass. I like to lope and shake my Comp cam provides. I also think people think it sounds cool.
In reality, everyone else just thinks my truck runs shitty....
I pull up to Security Shack where I work for a random search:
Me: "Should I turn off my truck?"
Guard: "Nah, it sounds like its running bad. You must have a clogged fuel filter or bad muffler or something... You should get that checked out..."
Me: "Nah, its OK."
Then I proceed to roll my eyes so hard they get stuck in the back of my eye sockets.
I realize this guy's an idiot and doesn't know the difference between and camshaft and lug nut, but its still annoying and makes me want a smooth running vehicle again.
I wonder what AFR 205 heads would do on a 6.2.... With stock cam and 11.5CR...

Out to dinner with the fiance' last night.....great night starting off till i mentioned i want to change my setup a little (converter, headers, maybe heads) she said "why? Its a big waste of time and money. Its already fast enough and how often do you race it anyways?" i simply said "its what i like to do, itll never end and i hope one day my son tells me "dad, i want to start drag racing with you. It's not about having the "fastest truck" its about having a goal and doing all the hard work it takes to reach your goal of HP or E.T. I love how she thinks im going to stop "modding" my truck. Its not lile i have a 10k motor, 5500 turbo kit, a 3000 transmission shooting for 9s in a CC

I was stuck in traffic due to police activity in median, luck would have it I got stopped right next to an officer standing next to his vehicle with cutout stuck open and my cam was rocking and rolling. I kept looking my way, then made his way over and I was like ahhhhshit here we go, he came up to the window said "sounds good" as he tapped the roof and walked back towards the car.
