this is a joke right? 230 to the wheels??? unless the truck weighs 2000 lbs that ain't fast. That truck weighs 3200 lbs... blah.

I would totally help you out but I just blew my engine a couple of weeks ago. Hit 23 psi by misfortune. The line that controls the wastegate came off... kaboom!

mods in sig:

By the way I didn't consider my ride fast just peppy. It had an estimated 300 ish RWHP @ 12 psi. Whatever my HP was it was enough to pull on a new vette. Bummer I really wanted to dyno that thing ok I'm wallowing now.. See what you did? are you happy now! lol

RX-7's aren't drag cars out of the box. Tell them to meet me at Highland Valley Rd. or Palomar Mtn...




...I'll bring my stock '97 Civic CX.

I raced at Sierra 2500HD at Qualcomm before. I was at the end before he even got 1/2 way down the track.

According the site its 353 hp with 373lbs of torque. I think your friend is forgetting that trucks arent sportscars?

I beat an SRT-4 from a 5MPH Roll on the freeway who was trying to merge into my lane, (Jackass) about 3 weeks ago, and little did I know that my throttle cable doesnt deflect the blades completely, the other day I tried to adjust the idle, and did a Sensor shakedown... found out at WOT, my Throttle Position Sensor reads 64 % Oops!

Maybe you raced a regular neon with stickers!!
I will beat your LS1 powered FD; that will make you think if you should upgrade with a ford motor.

That would be his own fault then, since he's a disgrace to his fellow MOPAR Buddies... and a Poser to boot...

1'st off, I don't street race, so if you want to come to buttonwillow on the 7'th or 8'th you're welcome to join the others... and beat me in your own mind...

Since 2880lb @ 230HP and 14.2 1/4 Mile times aren't all that far off from a stock FD, and as you well know I have nothing that resembles a stock FD... If we're truely talking about a Stock SRT-4.

So what are you saying ? If I had an SRT-10 motor you'd pipe down ? Since they're from the same Factory ?
