Drag Racing an Old F250 XLT Sport...

So, yea today driving after work I came to this light with an old F250 Ford. Before then was a guy and a girl on a old MR2 trying to race me but, I felt it was no fun so I when straight to the Old 1990 F250 XLT Sport. Which sound nice like if hooked up or something. Anyways, I know this ford had a 5.0 engine because I can tell by the sound. So, at the light I took off normal with out Reving my engine all the way up. Normaly I shift any gear around 4K rpm but when I heard his Engine Raving up I knew it was on he wanted to mess around with me. So Instead of Shifting like I normaly do. I when straight to 7k rmp Redline, First, Second, Still we are head to head and both of us are accelerating very fast before we hit the next light which most of the time there is Cops watching. However being that it was in the evening I didn't care as long as we slow down before the light. So, 3rd gear came and I see my tail kicking to the left or right one of those it looks like it was dancing. lol Anyways, Still at after 3rd we was still head to head. However I slow down right away to avoid any Cops and he did also and gave him the bigthumb-Ups with a smile as he gave one to me with a smile. He turn and I continue my way and I just though it was fun doing that with a truck.

Anyways, I can tell I need more power on my car and hopefully if things turn out well in the future for me. I can do a nice upgrade to the car and maybe then I can really mess around with more aggressive sport cars out there. In the meantime I am loving this car every bit of it and will always do.

I been thinking of buying a 12A Turbo engine if not going into 13B TII. However I am not sure which one I want. All I want is around 200-250 if anything 300 but I can be happy with 200HP. Also want it to have good gas miles as well so, not trying to make a sucking gas racing car at the moment. I just need to figure out which route is the best in the long run, and which setup would be beat for the car along with how much would cost me to do all this. So is kind of a thing I been planing and trying to learn since I got my car. I keep going from 12A to 13B and back but I just don't know....

Looks like the Oil leak come out somwhere on top of the engine. Because it sits into with out spraying the hood or anywhere else. Beside that there is another small one which I will have to take some pictures to show you guys where they are.
