Well my firend has been working on his truck thanks to me turning him onto the whole modding your vehicle thing. Anyhow, last year he ran a 17.5. Now before you say that's not quick, this is a 97 F-150 Super Cab with a hard tono (however the hell thats spelled) cover AUTOMATIC. The only mods he had were an intake & exhaust. Basically a 5000lb vehicle.

Now he's added new headers, throttle body spacers, & a SuperChip (I think that's all). :eek: This truck sheds rubber. I was amazed when I saw a pile of rubber on the pavement. Yes we could actually pick pieces of rubber up off the pavement.

Well to cut to the chase, our local track starts Test & Tune March 23rd and he has laid out a challenge. I can't wait. I should by all means beat him, but we shall see. He's confident he'll keep up with me now. In my stock-like form he should keep up or at least be close. I don't think he knows about my secret plan. *cough*direct port*cough*nitrous*cough*. I don't think it'll be in by March but there will be rematches.....

I'll try to get some pics of it. Its a nice truck. I'm not much into them, but his looks good.

:) WoW that's pretty good for a truck. Why would he tune a truck though? Why not sell it and get a small vehicle from Honda?

I can't believe spacers would do anything for a vehicle, but it sure did something...... It also adds a whistle to it when he revs....
