O.K. so i've had my truck a few weeks and have been taking it easy. We have this light in my town that has three lanes at the light and the far right lane merges in after about 80 yards past the light. And of course every jackass uses it to get in front of the ones that know it's gonna end and stays in the left two lanes. Well I'm in the lane to the right beside the one that merges and there are like 6 cars behind me and this F150 passes us all in the right lane like he owns the place and we are sitting at the red light now and I'm thinking no way I'm lettin' this loser pass me. So I start out normal and he guns it so I finally LET THE BIG DOG EAT! I blew past this dude in like 50 yards and was a good two car lengths in front of him at the end of the merge lane and could barely see his truck for all the BLACK SMOKE! I was shaking so bad and smiling so big I thought I was gonna DIE! That dude was prolly like "WHAT WAS DAT!?" He had his window down too. It was so kewl. I love my truck....

I really dont understand why people with gas jobs even try... But I have to hand it to one kid I raced today. He had a '06 (Guessing from the look) sierra short box step side, 4x4, with MSD and Edelbrock and Flowmaster and K&N decals on the side. It was a really nice truck. We were stopped at a red, and he started burning out ( a very impressive smoke show i might add) So as he was doing that, I got my turbo spooled, And on green we both opened up the throttle. He started sliding sideways towards me, but i was sliding sideways away from him, so it worked out. It probably looked really cool to the cars behind us, but long story short... He kept right beside me till about 120 km/hr mark before i could pull away.
So just be carefull, SOME gas jobs have balls to.

I forgot to mention that I slowly reached up and hit the tow haul button just before we took off and WOW what a difference in take off. I'm still smiling.

All you need now is exhaust and a tuner and he will be very disappointed in his gas ride!

Watch out, if the F150 says lightning on the side steer clear. Those things are ridiculous. I have a buddy that has one. Tops out at 142MPH. Be careful.
