Description says "376HP @ 6600RPM". I never pass 3K on my truck, lol!
Ya know, if I ever make a hot rod truck, it is going to be an 80-86 Ford. And without a drop of "noss" as they say....
Can you say Roots Blower?

Yep
I don't think I would.....burnouts are all fun and nice, but I'd rather get a set of those DOT approved slicks Jeg's sells and fry some ricers.
Which reminds me, week before last I was out of town, and I saw this little compact car with a wing and a bunch of little stick-on stuff, like these little spike-looking deals on top right by the rear window. In addition to some other ricery stuff.
I go to Pep Boys later in the day to pick up a set of LED bulbs for my extra Autometer gauges (which ended up looking GREAT, I might add....white LEDs + silver guage faces = awesome), and I found most of the stuff I saw on that car on the shelves of the store! Alot of it on the same aisle, lol...
Only thing that bugs me more than a bad ricer setup is a late model Chevy truck with a wing behind the cab, vette taillights in the rollpan with the stock taillights still hooked up, and gobs of chrome.
You know what I'm talking about, I'm sure.... *puke*

I like rolling up to the ricers in my GMC - 6" lift and duals out the sides, powered by a big block Chevy. When they have their window down with the radio up, I sit at the stop light next to them, and slowly creep up until my tail pipe is next to their window. When the light turns green, I goose the gas, and take off in firdt, filling their car with exhaust and in turn angering them.
It makes me giggle.

I had a 63 Chevy pick up, and drove over an island since I had missed a turn. My muffler fell off and I had to sit in traffic with open pipes. It was not fun. I felt like white trash! The muffler was still on the island 8 hours later when I got back from work, so what to do, but stop and pick it up to put it back on! That was a great truck!
