Thumbs down Two races...only one victory.

well, i raced two trucks today. first, i raced a duramax. i have beaten them before, but this was one bad truck. 10 stage adjustable chip. i punched it at the light, he dialed up that chip, and lets just say i didnt want no more!

Second was a crew cab 2 wheel 6.0. VERY RESPECTABLE FOR A STOCK TRUCK! its bone stock, and he gave me a good race. i had him till about 65, and he pulled a dog-house lenght on me, then his door to my bumper. he hit the speed limiter, and i was GONE,, but a good race.

A 24 valve tuned cummins didnt want none after the 6.0 race.

i have messed with a few trucks and will report losing 2 races.

i have beaten 2 6.blows though. both seemed to be stock with straight pipe exhaust. one of them in driven by a kid at school and it has an intake and exhaust and that's it... it did pull on me slightly every time i would shift and continued to pull on me but once i got the turbo spooled in each gear i would pull away from him slowly. we only raced to about 85mph. the other one i raced today and was a very nice truck. he passed me when i pulled on the hwy and when he did he romped on it. so i had to pull up to see what he had. i'm proud to report that from a 45mph roll it was even until my turbo spooled up around 50-52mph and then as i took it to 60mph in 3rd gear i pulled on him about 1/2 a truck length, then when i shifted gears he kept up w/ me, but didn't pull up any then around 70mph i was pulling away again and he let off of it. good race for as big as the truck was. it was a 4 door dually 4x4. a very heavy truck especially with the front and back replacement bumpers and the big diesel tank in the bed of it.

I like the scoop end wheels. They really set it apart. Do you have better pics of the scoop, and where did you get them.
