Default First Real Race after aquiring FLASHPAQ

Sitting at the red light, knuckles gripping the wheel with desire and anxiety... another bead of sweat drips down and tickles my cheek as the 98 degree heat pounds the black asphalt. I know he's there - he knows I'm here. He inches evercloser to the white painted line asthe heart begins tothump a little faster. I see him out of the corner of my eye..... the White 300C. Both HEMI badges sparkle with pride and GREEN LIGHT............. pedal smashed all the way to the floor as rubber screams from the 4 open windows! Air rushing in and the Darkness of the Black Quad Cab begins to overcome the Light! The chirp from second gear after shifting at 6000rpms seals the fate of the once proud owner of the crisp and clean Chrysler. And just like that all the way thru third gear... SSSSSMOKED. Looking in the review I see his head shake in disgust. Should have gotten a RAM big boy.....................

Take it to the strip. I still wanna hear about the first REAL race.

Not trying to get you down, or flame you, just don't want to see a post tomorrow about "First Real Major Accident involving innocents." I'm as aggressive a driver as they come, but there's a time and a place.

I know, I know, "Negative Nancy" post. Congrats on the Flashpaq, I'm still waiting for them to even consider making one for the 2004-2007 4.7L.

Gosh BigJRussell... Buzz kill (just kiddin... I understand totally your view). Awesome writing techniques... felt as though I was there. So, you got the 180 thermostat... you notice a big differance with it... you should check in on that 180 Thermostat thread (if you havn't already), you might be able to answer some of Pappy's questions.

MDS mode? PLEASE.... I considered trading my truck in on a Charger R/T untill I drove one.I was not impressed at all,my truck in stock form was faster than the charger. I dont know what gear they are putting in those cars but the 3.92's in my truck take off MUCHO faster.

Thats very interesting. There is no way my Ram will hang with my Magnum. I guess butt dynos vary.
