Thats the one thing I cannot stand, is someone riding my tail. When someone gets close enough I cant see their windshield wipers......watch out. I will brake check in a heart beat, and I dont mean just a tap, I come to a complete stop, even for a big truck it'll get from 60-0 pretty quick. Besides if they hit me its automatically their fault anyways, I mean really whats the point? when i'm doing 70mph and I cant see your rearview mirror, you've got about 3 sec to get ready to shiat yourself. Its just a pet peeve of mine

yes great story joe. The only guy that will play with me around here has his motor tuned with swamps.(and boy is that truck fast...) The rest all ride around with their superchips and banks tuners like their truck is the fastest on the road. Then myself or my friend with swamps pull up next to them and they know that they don't have chit on me or him. lol

That was my first time messing with another 7.3 with tunes, and it sure was an eye-opener!!
Yeah, I believe it when you say how effective customing tuning is, now that I finally got my JW Trans I'm putting a DP tune on my truck next. I wanna go fast too!

Well I slowed it down to 60MPH and just ignored the fact that she was there because needless to say I wasn't concerned about being injured. I was concerned for her safety

But seriously, what the heck goes through peoples minds when they are being this stupid?

Oh, and had I had a nice chip setup like some of you lucky peeps then yes, I would have rolled some coal and tried to blind her

Wipers wont help. If they really **** me off wipers wont help they will need to stop for 30-45 seconds and let the smoke clear for a ways up the road.

I think of a new 08 rear end everytime someone gets on my tail lol. I love it when someone gets right on my tail at night I just reach over and flick on the back up lights and they tend to back off quickly when blinded. I about did it tonight to a car right on my tail when someone pulled behind him and the guy behind me was a knox county cop running my tags.

I did get a truck leaving beans today it was a 02 F-250 CC SB that had just dynoed 309 with an edge tuner he thought he was pretty mean... well that was until he met my 140 aggressive tune...

LOL. Sounds to me like you guys drive like I do!

JD, glad to hear you didn't kick on those lights. I would not have worked out well for you.

Izzy, one day my friend, one day, hopefully soon I'll leave some coal for some poor sap that needs an early Christmas

309 with an Edge? That's pretty good actually. I had a bunch of mods with the DP 120/140 tunes and only got 310-311. Did he say what his torque was? Mine was 681...

Well beans dyno isn't exactly accurate they were shooting a few trucks real low and some trucks rather high, it use to be an import dyno. There was a 97 F-250 with 238s, H2E, Swamps tuning that put down 394 with stock oil and fuel system.
