does it matter? they put it there when making me a mod...i didn't put it there. maybe there's more to me than a 3.7liter pickup...

he popped the hood to let it cool, and i saw an airraid on there...and he said he put some plugs in...so, that's what i meant by slightly modded. i helped him take his tailgate off too. and he was running like...donut tires...lol. they were funny. like, spares from an old durango or something.

it was retarded. i'm not tryign to hate on people with an open rear end...but while i was pulling up to pre-stage, he backed into the burnout box each time, and burned out dragster style and went like 30feet past starting line...it was goofy as hell. and i sat there with the first set of stage lights on waiting for him for like a minute...as he peeled out his open rear end liek 150 feet...i felt it was so unnecesarry. he wouldn't have problems with the wheels sticking on that sticky *** track.

and yes, i'm surprised too. i know i have gears in mine, but i didn't think a 360 would be behind me. after the 1/8 i wasn't going any further ahead of him...he was gaining ever so slightly as you can see if the results i posted.

anyways, when i ran with a f150 down in joliet last month...he had the 4.6. i took him to the 1/8 by 6/10ths, but he ended up winning the 1/4 by that amount. those extra two cylinders caught him up...whereas my v6 can't spin my big gear at those high speed. but i did notice, after being told by many people, that second gear is my 'gear'. they said i hit second and take off. but 3rd is a joke..lol

I'm suprised as well. I assume the 3.7 you have is the same 3.7 as is in my Girlfriend's Liberty. It seems like a good engine, I just wouldn't have imagined it could push a fullsize that well.

Sounds like a fun day though.

it was a good time. next time i'm in joliet, i'll PM some of you IL people. i have atumant's number...he has a 14.1 hemi. we met at the track by chance, and he was like, "are you on dodgeforum?" it was cool.

union grove is the place to go though. it's ghetto as hell. they let people ride with you..some people had windows open, etc. joliet is like a real nice track. i spent 10 hours there and got 3 runs in. in uin i spent 3 hours there, and got like 7 or 8 or however many io posted in that thread.
