Competition Blue Chip Dyno Results

So there I am, coming back from the store last night after loading up with Easter candy for the kids. I’m in the left turn lane and after the light turns green I proceed at a normal pace into the turn when I look back and notice this clown riding really close. After we make the turn he puts the hammer down to get around the slow diesel truck and whips it back right in front of me. #@$%! At first I couldn’t really identify what it was because he had it debadged, windows limo tinted out, and dual fart cans. Then it finally came to me, BMW Z3. Not knowing much about them, I turned the Comp to 3X5, (Smarty is already on #8) in hopes we would line up at another light down the road.



We both come to the next light and are both turning left again, but this time he’s in front and I know he’s itching to run. We both make the turn but had to stop for the guy in front to turn left, as soon a that guy turns I know it’s game time (only a two lane road)! Sure enough, that guy gets out of the way and the Z3 drops the hammer again and tries to leave me. I was almost embarrassed for him because he got a three car jump on me but by the time I hit third I almost ran him over. At this point, I’m sure he’s getting a little nervous because all he can see in his rear view is that nasty looking Ram grill staring right at him. I back out of it and give him some space and he tries to pull again... NOPE, so I give him another good look at the Ram grill.



We approach the next light which turns back into a four lane and we’re able to line up side by side. I know what’s about to happen so I drop her in 4WD as I creep up beside him to the light. I look over and start to rock the truck by pumping the brake and he starts to rev the Beamer. His windows were limo tint so I couldn’t make eye contact but we both knew it WAS ON. I start to build boost and hold it at 10lbs, light turns green and the poor guy gave up by the time we reached the other side of the intersection. I slowed up and let him get even with me again just in case he wanted to try a rolling start... NOPE, apparently he had enough medicine because he behaved himself from that point on. :-laf

I humbled a buddy of mine yesterday, in a way. He's got a mid 90's (right before the body change 97-98?) 1500 2wd Shortbed 5spd. Its lowered got 20" chrome rims... . really respectable looking for 20's... not your usual junk. :rolleyes: :-laf anyways he's got a aftermarket cam, distributor, ignition, a hypertech chip, and I think that's it. Anyways the thing is quick for what it is. Well we both left a mutal friends house..... mutal friend is riding in my truck. We hit an intersection to jump onto the bypass around town. I knew if I let him get beside me that he'd get the jump on me... ... . as soon as he pulled out behind me I heard him gouge it... ... . ITS ON! :D Oo.



Lets just say he never had a chance of catching me until I lifted off the throttle because a mini-van was getting VERY CLOSE VERY QUICK.



He screamed by me, I jump in behind him and was on the all the way too the floor again! Oo. I stayed right with him but after a couple of seconds of my pyro needle being on the letter "T" common sense got the better of me and I let him keep going. I need twins & Hummin Cummins GB transmission. (still working on info if you read this Chris ;) )

Nice!! Funny how them little cars think us big trucks are slow!



I know, right. I must have had a bullseye on my tailgate because the very next day I ran a Acura TL from about 70 up to 115MPH before I let out of it. The TL actually made a pretty good pull but I'm sure he was all :--) after realizing he wasn't going to put any distance between us.
 
Yeah, I walked like 3 or 4 trucks on a "riced up eclipes" a few weeks back. from a 3rd gear roll to about 60 or 70. As I backed down to the 35mph speed limit they flew by and you see the girl shotgun in the car it was exactly like this icon





:--)
 
Yeah, mine was about three weeks ago and wasn't really a big deal, but a little Eagle Talon kept speeding up and down and kept reving letting his turbo blow off valve lift. I guess because my stacks are loud as hell with the Super 62 just singing through my 5 inch turbo back pipes. Anyway, I shifted into 5th laid her out and when I hit 6th, he was on my rear quarter panel. I slowed down after I hit 95, "which seemed like a blink of a eye" but he gave me a thumbs up. No biggie, but I had to clean the cob web's out anyway... (LOL)
 
A couple of weeks ago a buddy of mine, myself and 2 other guys were out riding around town just killin time in an 05 2500 CC with BD twins and a few other goodies (500hp) Anyway, we were driving through town and an 03 Mustang Cobra pulls up along side us goosin the throttle, and lookin for a race. Not wanting to start anything we just keep driving along through town (3 lanes each way) the Mustang drops back and with all 4 windows down we hear him drop a gear and let that V8 start to sing, he gets to the front of the truck with that Cobra at full song and my buddy (owner of the truck) just drops the hammer, that big Cummins get unleashed, 2 columns of smoke start to roll out of the stacks and she takes off like a rocketship... . We blow past the Mustang at 85 or 90mph with that V8 still working its guts out trying to keep up with us. He didnt even stand a chance. As we get to the next light, the Mustang is in the middle lane, we are in the right, and some guys in a Chevy pickup are on the left. The ol boy in the Chevy rolls down his window and yells "that is one fast diesel" The guy in the Mustang wouldnt even make eye contact with us, but his GF in the passenger seat sure did :-laf



Im all for fast cars and V8s, but there is NOTHING like a twin turboed Cummins eating muscle cars for lunch to put a smile on your face :D
 
well with mine stock 90 4x4 3/4 ton with muffler cut off,the boss has an 03 ford 7. 3,muffler off,can take him off the line to about 50. also from a rolling 70 to my top end 90,his 98,i can take him by two trucks. not bad for an 16 year oid truck. truck has 312,000 on it a little worried about going to crazy(still get 22mpg)out of the old girl.
 
I was driving to a friends house sunday and had this mustang pull up next to me and we are doin about 50 and he gooses the throttle and i hear his super charger whistle. i have no real HP mods just straight thru exhaust and edge ez, but anyways he gooses the throttle few more times and they both look up at me laughin'. So to their suprise i give them a little flash of the 'ol red & blues mounted on the side of the front bumper, and they get this look of OH S**T as they looked at each other then back at me. they never did wanna get along side me after that. i made the turn off to my friends house and they waved as theydrove by don the speed limit or maybe even a little under... . lol i was just thinkin dont be ascared, (as they say here in san antonio) lol. its just me ur little undercover H. O. i just love doin that ... hehehe

How do you get a gig like that, Diesel cop truck. Was it your personal truck that the goverment supplied the lights and radios for? or did you request a diesel truck as your new cruiser?

Now wouldnt a Twin Turbo Dodge Diesel Truck be a cool undercover rig???!!!!!!



DarrellB saw one in Indiana a couple of years ago. A pair of state boys pulled up in a 2500 24V at the pumps..... normal I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER chat... . he asked if it was BOMBed they laughed and poped the hood..... TWINS! :eek: Oo. :-laf
 
You would be amazed at some of the stuff the Secret Service has. Back in the 80's I installed lights, sirens, and radios in Porsche 911's, IROC-Z's, Mustangs, etc. for them. When we got done you could not tell the difference. ;)
 
It's my own truck with all the lights, siren, and all the other garb is all out of my pocket, i have about 2k invested in lights alone,and another 1k on order
