Default Ouch...

So there Iam coming home from work today, running down the freeway at 74MPH when all of a sudden here comes Ferd boy in his lifted Ferd thinking hes all that...well for a couple of seconds anyway...Did I mention I was having a crappy day to begin with?...so not to be out done I punched it and it was on, and over fairly quick...I looked back to see him falling farther back, needless to say I have a new top speed ...1--, and before the lectures begin let me point out we were the only 2 vehicles in site for about 5 miles between Wickenburg and I17... I have talked with a number of poeple about my EGT's getting so hot and I keep getting differant opinions...Does anyone have the answer?

In the 1/4 mile after the 3rd run they peg by 3/4 track...it sucks, now that winter is getting here and our temps are going to drop 10 degrees on a cold day we will see, Id love twins but out of my price range at the moment. Sure we can trade for a week, but no longer or I will send out the dogs hehehe andthe 108 top speed was blown out of the waterhehehe

Sharx, the best thing for your truck is a better driver. Perhaps Kevin will take it off your hands. [sm=escape.gif]
