I liked it when they beat the Lamborghini in the slalom. Driving skill beats money every time.

Which at a 20% driveline loss (automatic tranny) would put him close to 390 hp at the flywheel. I'd say he's lucky to have 320 at the flywheel. I think all he said he has done is a cold air intake, wasn't it, oh, and a TB spacer.

I say he'd be lucky to have 320 at the crank, with exhaust and a tuner as well.

He said on the other messageboard "it's like playing poker,you don't want opponents to know what your holding."In other words he was bluffing about 400 hp.I guess he didn't expect every F150 owner in the country to call his bluff.

I had a look at his truck today. The condenser had a few dings in it but was no worse for wear. The blocks were actually made of balsa shaving and glue so I'm told.
