I agree with all but the last line, I hit 100 almost daily. I love the feeling of it and I love the feeling of being pressed deep into the seat when the turbo lights.

Yes, but in brief your Krazee

You were nice enough to tell us know when you came up with your screen name

I'm down for another throw down whenever you are good sir. This time I can actually boost launch it though, and I'll remind you of the current kill list Stay Puft has acquired
Acknowledged, but I never said I beat you. It wasn't about winning or losing either. It was about proving to you that my "piddly" 6.0 could give you a run for your money and I and my "piddly" 6.0 did just that.

We'll run again at some point once I get some 155s installed and some custom turbo work done.

Yep, between my motocross bikes, Quadracers, and fast cars thru the years, I have to say the G-force bug bit me hard. Just can't stop doin' what feels GOOD!
Driving fast enough to separate myself from the 'less-hurried' masses has proven smart in avoiding accidents, too, when someones talent deficit catches up with them and they collect other lemmings in the carnage!

Anyway, all in fun; Lets enjoy what we drive and agree to disagree!

Haha, yeah. I drive a long stretch that has no entrances, exits, nor cross traffic. I just switched to a college to start NDT/NDI and there's a bunch of kids that feel like they need to test the rumors on the quickness of the Excursion on the aforementioned road.

But yes, 125-130 in 9200 pounds is Krazee. I won't do it unless there's no traffic in front.

Agreed, the comment was more for everyone else. But I will stand by giving something a run for it's money, when hat something isn't functioning properly, isn't a good comparison

Been a bit stretched thin with the new school and taking 18 hours this semester, I'm just throwing everything out at once instead of letting it stretch over posts. I only have about 30-45 minutes of free time nowadays so I just deliver it all at once

To "stir the pot" as you say...

My 6.8 can't roll with you guys at all but I can take a Honda ANY day of the week and happily took a super nice Subaru a few days ago in the snow... however it was lousily plowed and basically went down to one lane so when he wasn't budging I didn't budge either. He had to stop first since he would have hit the snow that had been plowed but I plunged straight into my half of the snow I was throwing it all behind me as the bumper ripped it apart and about 15 feet in I noticed he was behind me but unable to pass

Yep, there's nothing like mass + 'throttle down' to intimidate and terrify somebody who thinks THEY own the road!!
I love some fast lane hog trying to stop me from passing on the right by speeding up; I'm spooled up and committed; then they realize they don't have the (power or cajones) to play anymore!!

In your case, the loser got avalanched by the snow you were blowing up...BONUS!!

It works on tailgaters also Going slow in 4wd and someone runs up on your rear and tries to hurry you up? Just go off into the burm a little and start throwing snow in the lane. The wife will love it (Wendy about lost her **** she was laughing so hard) and the people behind you will steer REAL clear after you do it to them the second time. Once they realize it's not a problem to just plow snow they get real polite real fast

It gets better. Just wait til you get some good tunes, big sticks, and a bigger turbo. Which even though I just put a 38R on mine is still too small, haha.

She has gone from decently quick to stupid quick for what it is.

I poop you not, you are the ONLY one that expressed major concerns for the right reasons (exhaust wheel, not housing).

Like we've discussed privately, the budget simply didnt allow for a nearly $4000 swap.

Nor will it, future mods other than a T500 are all cancelled, the 7.3 is quick enough. Gotta save for the 6.doh to turn it into a 6.HOLYSH**THISTHINGSF**KINGFAST
