Does the kegger mod really kick it up? I thought it was minimal at best?

Thanks guys for the replies. After going up to him with a chain, he backed off and said "If I wanted to tow your Piece of S**t Dodge around I'd use my Powerstroke. They are the best engines" So he wimped out and gave me a lame azzz excuse.... Go figure...

i believe its power choke iirc


but either way pulling is almost as much about technique as it is about having the torque, all the torque in the world wont help you if you cant get it hooked up

Exactly, thats how I lost to that old 5.0l ford. Now the kegger gave a nice midrange gain and 4500+rpm gain. I wouldn't say the gain would be as much as a tuner but couple it with my custom cold air it is comparable to the r/t.

Power Choke

Can't move itself better yet a trailer or load

Need I say more...........
