my straight duals put the cloud of death right on the deck, i dusted some goober on the way home, i just about could see the front part of his hood he was so close so when i changed lanes i backed off and booted it, i didn't think it was a very good performance but it got a honk and i am guessing a finger so score :-laf

Thanks, TDR Staff
I was at a stop light coming off the freeway and this rice rocket was behind me. I took the left turn wide as I always do and he almost hit me!! Trying to get by me! JERK!! So at the next light I needed to turn right so I shifted into 2nd and spooled up and left him in smoke!! He had his windows down too!! Stupid out of state tailgaters!!!
well my cousin got one the other day. his truck is a 94 thats pretty turned up. this story starts when a little ford ranger got behind us on a little two lane road. a car in front of us turned off and we had to slow for him. my cousin leaves it in 5th and gently accelerates ahead rolling smoke over the ranger behind us(this was not on purpose really). well we come to the stop sign and get on the main road. right away there is a double yellow and turn lane. the ranger behind us starts to pass my cousin accelerates and out does him. ranger gets behind us and we proceed at 55 smoking him out constantly. after a time he decides to pass again. again it was in a double yellow and turn lanes. again we accelerate and out race him so he gets back behind us and again we smoke him out constantly staying at 55mph to **** him off. eventually he turned off. neither guy in the ranger where real happy w/ us.
carried away with the story
mhannink got a little carried away with the story. i rolled into the throttle in fifth gear at 35 and covered him, no af spring will allow that. . he got mad and tried to pass on a double yellow. . aint gonna happen so he ate some more soot. . tried once more and had some again. . when someone tries to do that crap to me i dont take too kindly to it. when he was just behind me it wasnt a big deal but when he tried to pass on a double yellow windy road. . thats where i drew the line.

Driving home from Austin a little riceburner came up fast and held about 1-1 1/2 car lengths back, I got ready to move over and let him pass once I got past the vehicle next to me when all of a sudden he jumps up so close I couldn't see half his windshield! At this point I stopped my acceleration and held him in that spot while I adjusted my Juice then stood on it, the cloud rolled all around him and his lights looked about half as bright all of a sudden! It was great, he dropped back 4-5 car lengths in less than a second!!! He stayed back for a bit, then I moved over, he was a little hesitant to pass at that point, but when he did, he shot by real quick, guess he didn't realize there was only one tailpipe... hehehe

I dont mean to be funny here, but how much more smoke will I or should I produce than 275's Im thinking of stepping down to 275's, I like the smoke, but either wanna go Bigger or smaller, If I go bigger, I want it so the Soot comes out wet... what size injectors would be needed to fog wet?

I got a soccer mom this morning, not paying attention. Flawless! She was tailgating everyone, doing her makeup, and talking on the phone. . She just happened to get in the lane on the right side, which happens to be the soot evacuation side. I put the juice on kill, and let the coals roll!

This Happened a few weeks ago, but i kept forgetting to post it. To the best of my recollection, here's how it went.
Was cruising down a 4 lane road, 60 60 KM's/h. Outta nowhere, i find myself driving through a fairly large cloud of diesel smoke. Oo. Oo.
Up ahead, i can barely see a Green 2nd gen 24V dually with dual 6" Mitres, Edge sticker on the side window, and a couple others.
I drop the hammer, and get up beside him. This is where it gets good.
(Screaming at the top of my lungs over 2 straight piped monsters)
Me- HEY BUDDY NICE TRUCK!!!
Him- THANKS, YOU TOO! YOU GOT A CHIP IN THAT THING??
Me- NO, IT'S A 12 VALVE!
Him- OH, YOU GOT WATER?
ME - NOPE, I WISH.
HIM- I GOT 1300 HORSE!!
ME-
OMG WOW REALLY?!?!? 
HIM- YEAH!!!
ME- LET'S SEE SOME SMOKE!!!!!
HIM- I CAN'T, I JUST BROKE A U JOINT AT A PULL.
ME- DAMN THAT SUCKS.
Thinking... ... .
( Didn't i just drive into a big cloud from you? And how is your u-joint holding together now... duct tape???
ME- COME ON, GIMME A LITTLE BIT
Light went green, i putted beside him for a minute... trying to get him to hit the loud pedal. Nothing.
I get in front of him, cruise till where i was turning.
Then i slowed down to about 40 KM's/hr, turned the OD on, locked up the TC, lugged the crap outta the engine, and blew about a quarter tank at him. Hope to see his 1300 horse someday when he fixes his u-joint. Oo.

Getting on the highway here in msp area you have these traffic lights that do a good job at keeping every idiot and their mother from tail gating their why on to the highway and making everyone stop to let them in... Normally it's just one persona at a time when in "metered" more right?
So my light turns green and I go, low and behold the moron behind me follows me, not only follows me, but on my butt!. I slowed down, next gear and let the soot loose.
I look back and the expression on the passenger was kinda like

It was rather funny

I got my truck back with the new DTT trans and some stage 4 injectors. I'm not used to throttling WITHOUT smoking just yet, and the hx35 seems a little laggy since the torque converter is so tight.
Anyway, last night, after cruisung around for a while, I decide to come home. I have one turn from a 4 lane onto a two lane and about 1/4 mile then to my driveway. I come tearing up the main drag and I see there's no oncoming traffic, so i didn't completely stop for the turn. There also happens to be a gas station on the corner that the town skanks all seem to frequent.
So here I am in the turn lane, I look over and see a ford mustang sitting half in the parking lot of the store, and half in the lane that I have to drive through, because the yuppy is ON THE CELL PHONE. I hate this. I A creep over out of the highway and with about a 5mph roll, I pinned it to the floor, absolutely engulfing this mustang. When I looked back, I couldn't even see the car anymore, and as we drove on up the side road, my girlfriend said the passenger of the car bailed out and ran across the road and just stood, waving his hand to get clean air.
I liked it.
any other time I would have had a problem with excessive soot, but for the MO-RON on the cell phone, I simply love it.

any other time I would have had a problem with excessive soot, but for the MO-RON on the cell phone, I simply love it.I was in Austin again tonight and got some diesel at the Wally World, was waiting in line to get out of the parking lot and some idiot was just sitting there not moving. After about four minutes of waiting the 1500 in front of me pulled out around the Accord and onto the access road, at which point the driver of the Accord threw his arm out and started flipping the 1500 off and the passenger did the same. I pulled up behind them and they still sat there so I did a quick blip on the horn, they sarted flipping me off, so I started to go around them too when they took off all of a sudden cutting me off after swinging out around them. BIG MISTAKE! Now remember I said they were hanging their arms out the windows to flip everybody off? I proceeded to catch up to the drivers side, turning the Juice up to 5x5, and leveled off for a second just back from his window, let my rpm's and speed drop a hair then floored it, shooting past him and filling the interior of his car with smoke!!!! Got him good, obliterated the view on a three lane access road and sent him diving off for the side of the road, slowing down to a crawl!!! Think he learned a lesson?
I knew I was forgetting a to do something the other day. It was to post my latest story!
Putzing home 5pm-ish down Bass Lake (typical 4 lane 35mph road). It's kinda heavey for traffic, but It's 5pm right? Enter idiot in Ford exploder circa 1995, all beat to heck. I'm 3 or 4 cars back from the guy in front in the right lane and this guy is on the BUMPER of the guy infront of him, right next to my window. The 2 cars infront of each other there were also, on each others bumper. Now you ask your self, do you seriously think your going to get there faster if you tail gate?
It was Entertaining to watch that when the guy up front tapped his brake lights the other 3 or 4 including the exploder would slam on theirs , they'd all back off and then regroup. Just like a slinky!
So, I'm watching this punk with his radio distorting try to figure out which peddle to operate, I see him getting more and more antzy as my keen sense of "driving language" suggests that he's going to do something retarded. We are approaching Broadway (split 4 lane) and he comes from behind and makes a running cut off the big slow truck maneuver! Now, I was already running a gear lower then I should and I Could of easily blocked, but something said don't.
So this guy just didn't plan his right hand turn back a mile ago, instead insisted on cutting me off. I have time, I decided to go outa my way. Boxes turn up ready to have some fun!
He goes right and you can hear and smell this gasser floor it, I take it easy and pass him like he's standing still with easy doing short shifts and proceed to cut him off (no one around mind you, empty road at this point). he dives to the left and tries to pass me. I just stay a head of him letting the coal roll right at him.
Up come a few cars, so I slow down and block him in. It's fun leading him on a little making it look like your going to leave some room for him to get around a car, and he drive right into sooting range This guy got sooted so many times I think I seen my fuel gauge move a little in the span of a mile!
After bit all I see out his window is his finger telling me I'm #1 And he suddenly turns off?!?! wow. ok. I get to a light that i'm going to make my u-turn at and this older gentleman in an Avalanch rolls down his window and says "I just had to tell ya that that Mother F'er cut me off good! I had a good laugh watching you toy around with him. Wow does your truck throw some smoke! I just had to give you a thumbs up!" Went kinda like that.
:-laf:-laf:-laf
Well, as the light turns green, you see this retard run the red light making a left and is now in front of me again. I deiced to drop things, he had enough surfer in his diet. despite the "Go get him! " from the guy in the truck.

i actually don't like smoking too much. . but. . i was playing around with the smarty a few weeks back [decided to try #5 for the first time] and went driving around. . sure pulls good, but smokes way too much [hard to drive nicely without smoking] pulled out of the sub into traffic into a slightly tight gap. . traction broke at the end of 2nd and chirped into 3rd, but i could not see the car behind me. .
i need a sw version that will give me the smoke level of #3 with the power of #5 and just a little less timing below 1300rpm...

Got to play with some good ole boys wanting to have alittle fun last friday evening. We were on our way to the local casino to have some dinner and spend saved bombing money. The back way is a pretty much straight 10 mi. streach of lightly traveled 2 laner. Passed a slower car blowing some smoke with the smarty on #8. There was an old beat up 1st gen, rusted out with two guys that probably just got out of the local watering hole after work. I pulled back over and they went by me trying their best impression of smoke. Never had the chance to play around very much so I thought what the heck. Comp on 5x5, went by them at 90 and slowed down, then smoked out the whole road behind me. They passed me and we played this game for a couple more times. I couldn't believe how much smoke my truck was putting out. On their last pass I let them go (time to quit before I get caught). Both of them gave a thumbs up as they went by. It was alot of fun and no bystanders were injured except for my wallet at the casino.

Thats the best story yet. usually its the Fords who think they have 1300 HP. Maybe he was using the metric system?:-laf
i think i just made the automatic headlights come on on a chevy i pulled out on to a side road and got on it a little and see the persons lights turn on who pulled out behind me, didn't think too much about it till a mile or so down the road when he's behind me and the lights are off, hmmm, i get on it a little harder pulling out on the main drag and once again the lights turn on when he hits my wake :-laf i guess in this upper 90s heat i should take a few clicks off the starwheel
