This story actually started a month ago.
There i am cruising along minding my own business when a duramax w/ exhaust pullsup next to me at a light. I am on the right and he revs up the motor. It sounded loud and snotty. The problem was that i had put on a new 14cm housing on my hx35 and had a problem w/ the wastegate actuator mounting and didn't have the wastegate hooked up. I f you ever driven a CTD w/o the wastegate that closes, you would understand( it is a pig, max boost is 15 lbs, tons of smoke and gobs of heat )Back to the story, we roll down the windows and he says "care to run that badboy?" I am sick
Had to say"I have a problem w/ my turbo and don't have any boost" He gives me a look and says we will meet again. so i say that he should reconsider as i put down 400 HP on the dyno last month. He says that is ok as he puts out around 460hp (out being the key word). So we go our separate ways. I have since put in a Kwikspool HX-40 14cm. This turbo is great. Sounds like a F16 on full song. Leaving work on Friday, driving down the same road,low and behold, here comes this duramax on my left side again. We are doing around 35 and he rolls down his window and says "did you get your turbo fixed?" I shake my head up and down "yes" We jump on them "RAPPPPPPPPPPPAAPPPPPPP " is blaring in my ear( that thing is loud) he pulls me by 1-2 truck lengths before we have to shut down for the next light. I then realize my comp is on 1/1 I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER I quickly switch it to 5/5 just in time to hear him start to powerbrake his truck in anticipation of the light changing. I did the same and built around 10 lbs of boost. Light turns green and we are off... ... pulled him immediately by about 3/4 of a truck length in first, DTT shifted to second and i keep pulling him thru third. I had him by almost 2 truck lengths when we had to brake hard for the next light. Both of us were working very hard not to rearend the cars in front of us
He says "DAMN that is the first race i have lost in my truck" and "nobody has even given me a good race until now" "What did you do to that truck?! I say turbo,mild injectors and a box. The look on his face was priceless. Another beaten man driving a Duracrap.
Defiantly, the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!!
Whoohoo
