Great story!!!


So yesterday on my lunch i was quietly drivin thru town when i noticed a brand new standard cab 3500 cummins dually pull out a bit in front of me. well he must have seen me cause he insisted on poorin an over excessive amount of black smoke in my path while making a large farting noise to get away from me (gotta love that cummins) he then preceded to slow down and change lanes so i said ok i'll play

ME- intake, straight 4", and sct (spartan HR)
HIM- new cummins (i thought i heard how bad these babies were, seen nothin but crap out of them so far ex. injectors, turbo, etc. from two people the only two i know with a dodge) straight 4" i think mayb 5 tho, and edge w attitude

end result i made him cough and go blind i believe (bad choice to leave yer window down on the starboard side of a 6.0 PSD spartanized)

I left the poor guy

PS I'm a long bed crew cab dually

Had a similar experience a few days ago from a light with a 350z...... He couldn't seem to get past the tail pipe so after he filled the cab for about 5-10 second he finally just gave up. I really though those were faster

Had a similar experience with a little honda the other day. There's a spot where there's a light, and about 100ft ahead the right lane disappears. Most people use hte right lane to turn right, but a few take it to try and gun it ahead of people at the light. Well this little honda pulls up next to me to try and zip ahead of me before his lane disappears. I gunned the **** out of it, truck was barely warm, so made extra smoke. Poor fella shouldn't have had his window down, as it was about level with my exhaust and I filled the inside of his little car with thick black smoke as I dusted him.

I like the stories, Good Job Guys.
Somthing I can't figure out, the Dodge are always saying how dig a pyle the strokers are, then Why are they the ones always startin things? I would think that if the strokers are such junk what are they tryin to prove??
Just to add a little to the story board.

Me and my middle son where driving in the out side lane (slow lane) in our little town, and a kid and his girl friend pulled up next to us in a 2000-2002 dodge and started the rev thing at the light. Well then the light went green I just hammered it (no build boost, or gearing). Beat him to the next light. At that light his girl looked at me and just shook her head. He didn't want to play enymore.

Got one! I was in my 06 F-250 before i had my SCT, I was runing edge tunes. A late model dodge 5.9 pulled up next to me at a red light and was reving his straight pipe cummuns. I give the 6.0 some boost, we raced and smoked him. I guess he thought he messed up because he wanted to run again. i was going about 30 and he gunned it i did the same as soon as i knew what he was doing. He didnt want to try again at the next light. LOVE 6.0s!!!

Here is what happened to me. Must have been 4 kids on lunch from school playin around with me in their rice burner. You know the ones with that crappy loud muffler sound. Well they continued to pull up next to me chirping their front tires several times. Must have been 4 or 5 times they did this before we were stopped by a light. This is where they reved and reved their engine tring to get my attention. So I made sure they new they had my attention. I break torqued the beast and let the rear wheels just smoke up a storm. The look on the their faces were priceless. Jaws dropped and eyes wide open. I then proceeded to put the beast in 4 wheel high and chirped all four tires on take off leaving them almost standing still at the light. I think I was still laughing when I got home because my wife asked me why I was in such a good mood when I got home. I do love these trucks.

two stories:

the first me and my girlfriend were coming back to lexington from owensboro and I keep hearing this annoying buzzing noise next to me and i realize that its a honda and the guy trys to race me so i decide to say heck with it and take him...needless to say I smoked him but the only problem was my egt probe blew out afterwards

second today a toyota new whatever edition tundra pulled up to me today (tons of stickers on the back window for mod companies) and tried to mess with me at a stop light so i decided to run with him too and we go to the by-pass and we go from a roll and I barely had my foot halfway into it b4 I was crushing him... the guy rolled down his window and asked what I had done to it and I said its stock what about yours and he rolled his window back up

Wow this thread is cool, I had a race today myself. The right lane merged to the left, I am the one in the left lane (at a red light). Some Rice burner pulled next to me, I never got a look at him because he was on the right. He rapped it out dumped the clutch when the light turned green, I just pressed the throttle similar to taking off normal to build boost then smashed the skinny petal to the floor. Both tires were spinning like on Ice, 1st gear, second gear, third gear, while I was passing him. Smoke and rubber filled the whole street, I never seen them leave the smoke, I was off like a rocket and he vanished somewhere because he never made it to the next light.
Another race a few years ago, I was racing a C-5 Corvette, I beat him to the right lane needing to enter the freeway. He was on the left of me, the entrance was 200 feet. He gave it all that chebby had, the end of the story is I made the entrance and he did not make it on to the freeway.
I have beaten regular Porsche's, who need a sports car when you have a mean KING RANCH.....

I had a race this week. A 6.7 Dodge blew my doors off not once but twice. I dont know about his MODs other than he had 2 6" stacks and alot of smoke. I thought he would be all show and no go.

He is probably on a "I love my Dodge" site right now bragging about how he crushed a stroker right now.

Not recommended, I keep my racing on the track.


But, I couldn't resist. Noticed a large group of trucks and one in particular smoking the crowd and showing off while traveling to the National 4 Wheel Drive Jamboree. I threaded my way up behind him right in front of his friends to witness, the digital camera video starts late but you get the idea.

Video of the truck
