So I'm interested to know (as I have very little experiance) Would it be benifical to be in 4x4 and have tow/haul on (for added tracktion).

I have no idea how the expedition will compair to the hemi, think he stands a chance?

What do you think???

Are they both bone stock? If yes then you'll beat him. Just make sure he doesn't have any heavy mods in it. Go make some money.

I would mak sure you know exactly what hes got. Otherwise, up the bet like stated above. Boost his ego a little, than get more money out of him, then stomp his dreams like a struggle model in Hollywood who isnt making it, so has to turn to the adult industry to make ends meet, and ends up being a single mother stripping at a second rate bar.....

uh.... yea....

Nice rant (problems at home???)...Well the expodition is bone stock, I'v got a cheap e-bay special dual cold air intake, and a superchip Flashpaq. Just got the Flashpaq last night, running 89 octane on the 87 Tune, will probably switch to tow/haul run 89 Octane and up the shift points...1-2 6000 and 2-3 5900. $$

If both are stock, he has no chance. If he has a motor off an F-16, it'll be a dead heat.
