  1. I say good run with him. Consistering the mods you have. Get rid of the superchips, and get a good tune. You will see a huge difference in the performance of your truck once you get a custom tune. If we run with them from a roll at 40-50, they will kill us. Our trannys really blow at the speed. At least mine does... The new T's have, correct me if I'm wrong, a 6 speed tranny? We only have a 4 speed. I know whenever I downshift at those speeds, it sucks! That's our weak spot. From 20-35, that's a different story. Our trannys can downshift like a monster. There is a big difference from 65 and 75 mph too. At 75 mph, our trucks pull extremely hard up to 120+. Mainly because we are at our torque curve.

     

     

    ive read what youve guys said about those other tuneers, my consern has to do with one thing:can i put it back to stock if i have to go back to the dealership and when i go get it smoged?

  2. OK so is that foo as in fool, or foe like hoe :jester:

     

    The TRD Tundras are supercharged, on the newest Tundras they even use the TVS-1900 blower to boot; you just kept pace with a truck that's got a 505-hp blown 5.7L and runs low 13's. Not bad :thumbs:

     

    Mr. P. :)

     

     

    whaaaaat?, o man i did not know that, i thought they only ofered the blower, i feel a whole lot better now, i deffinetly have to take my truck for some shell V power gas today, you know the good stuff, jut as a token grattitude

  3. The first vid, I stomped him from the light, and he couldn't catch up. About mid way thru the vid, you can see his car for a glance in the pass. mirror. I turned the camera on too late, buy the time I knew it, we were already racing. The second vid, I almost climbed up his a$$, but if I wasn't spinning coming off the turn, I would been straight up his butt. I'm not sure what car this was though. I think it was a WRX? Can you guys tell? When he got in back of that car on the freeway that made him slow down, he quit after that. Too much traffic I guess. What ever it was, it was a fast little bugger. I sure love the sound of the Corsa at WOT.

    yup, its WRX, not sure if its an STI do, nice kill do, love the way you got on his ass

  4. On my way home I turn into the left hand lane and there is a Ford F-150 Roush edition in front. He makes a left and gets on it hard, and so do I while getting a little spin from my front tire. We did not get far because of traffic but as soon as I pull up next to him he had his window down and asked if I was super charged. We pulled over and checked each others rides out. He said he is running 6lbs of boost and weight was around 6100 lbs. I was unimpressed under the hood, my Radix 122 looked much bigger than his Roush charger, I did like it was black thoe. I was behind him pulled over on the side of the street and told him to hit it and I would be right behind. I guess he was confident he was going to kill me and did not want the advantage of being in front. So we lined up together and I told him to go. He hit it and I hit it spinning my front wheel a bit and I swear the race was over before I hit second gear. I would say I was four trucks away before shutting down around 50 mph. He was very cool. We pulled over again and talked trucks for about ten minutes, exchanged #'s to figure when we can run each other from a roll or hit the track for some fun. Very cool guy witch I don't run into very much around here. Even other SS owners around here that I give a thumbs up to look at me like WTF! Oh one last thing, I love AWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    nice, way to show that roush whos the boss!

  5. O.K. so i just off my date for the night :jester: at her house and was heading for mine,i was a the stoplight, nothing seemd out of place, then suddenly the light turns green and this blue TRD tundra punches it :wtf: and heads up the bridge thats right before the freeway entrance. (the reason i could not see him next to me was cause of my tint :cool: )

     

    so of cours its too late for me too run him down since i wasnt expecting it, so i get behind him, i could see a dual cat back exhaust, and he kept reving it and reving it. (not impressed :rolleyes: ).

     

    light turns green and where getting on the freeway, he punches it and leaves me behind cause i had to deal with the traffic he backd up!, i turn on my strobes and caught up to him, he wasnt going to get off that easy.

     

    So now where heads up going about 65 or so, i honk 3 times and where off, he pulls at least 2 cars in front of me :uhoh: , i was furios, so we go heads up again, and this time where neck to neck for maybe 2 miles, now we went a third time, this time he honkd and i left pulled out right in front of him by at least 1 car and kept pulling on him till id say i had 2 1/2 lenghts :chevy: .

     

    Prick still wanted to keep going, i rolled down my window and gave him a peace sign, (should have given him the finger :D )i belive i learned two things from this,1:tundra seems to be qhuick of the line. 2: i think one of its weakniss is that it tops out at about 100-110 mph. all i could tell was the dual exhaust, i dont know if he had some thing else, all i have is ram air, superships tune, and a single pipe flowmaster, now i think i might get some NOS after this, or those banks headers ive wanted.

     

    what do you guys think about this whole thing? :chevy:

  6. me too. sometime i wish i had an suv over a truck. BTW yeah trailblazers SS's are much faster. 50 more HP and 1k less pounds means faster

     

     

    why doyou think chevy did that,its like if Ford had gone with a faster Expedition instead of the lightning, if doge had made a Caravan srt 10 that was faster than the Vipertruck, why would chevy take the 'soccer mom' route?

  7. I whant to go lower, maybe 3/4 or 2/4. but everywhere i go it seems like they whant to much, they ussually whant around 1,200$ :uhoh: 1,800, i mean do these sound like reasonable prices to you, i nkow the kits about 650$ on stylintrucks, but is the labor that hard or am i just too cheap, if anybody knows of a good honest shop in san diego, let me know :(

  8. By far the funniest thing I've seen in months, I about pissed myself: "Hitler reacts to the Rotards" -

     

    Watch at least to the point where Hitler sends almost everyone out of the room, it gets good then :crackup:

     

    Mr. P. :)

    hahahahahahahahahaha, thats so funny, but true at the same time,

  9. I am the last person on earth that will own a ford but I saw this on streetfire.net. Might actually sell pretty good since it really the only factory truck that already has a nice pre-runner suspension setup. Don't know why they are putting a 5.4L in it?? Still won't buy it though!!

     

     

    Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

     

    dont know if i should trow up or laugh, what an ugly truck, or whatever it is :confused: , its so uuuugly :rolleyes:

  10. Anyone here in socal wanna meet up at irwindale sometime? or someplace else? I live in Orange County, Anaheim hills/Yorba Linda area. Let me know! It'd be nice to meet some people.

     

    im down to have a meet, ilive in S.D, its about two hours away from O.C., but id be willing to drive up their if this happens. or just come down to S.D. :cheers: , let me know

  11. This might sound like to much fore some people, but i gotta get this monkey of my back and post this, the reason im tipping this post is because i hope everybody is as appretiative of what the own, family is very inportant to me and i feel like my truck is part of the family, let me share with you part of my story and i hope you can understand why i have such a passion :chevy: .

     

    ever since i was little i remember taking my hot wheels and grabing my moms nail polish and painting them, taking them apart and swaping wheels, ive always loved cars, my dad doesnt really care for them but i ghees i got this bug from my grandpa, he was a race car driver in mexico, and ighees the reason il love trucks is cause of him, he always had an old ford, a chevy truck or our international scout wich we still own, i was 18 wen i got my liscence. My first car was an 87 sentra,(hey gotta start somewhere)but believe it or not i have a speeding for going 91( on a step hill) in that damn thing, but i love :D . My second love was a 96 ford mustang svt cobra convt. :cool: , black on black, what a ride, and so much power for an 18 year old, i had friends that were scared of, everybody droopd their jaw when i first took it to school. because i was always the kid that hoped on the bus while everione had their car, i endeed up having to give back because the guy that sold it to me did not tell me it was salvage, i dint whant too but my dad insisted. my My 3rd love was my 99 GMC sierra stepside v6 regular cab, it belong to my mom and was reaaly the car i first learned to drive in, it hade prevously belong to my mom, i rememberd one night i took it out with out permission so i could take this girl i was out going out with home, i made a huge dent on the side from trying to get the truck back in the garage in a hurry :uhoh: , well everything went to heel there after, did i mention i did not have a liscence and was 17, but im still here, barely. :D Finally we get to my current relationship, i preety much got this truck because i wanted something with power, good looks and something i would be proud to hand over to mi kids when i have some, i work so hard for it, i have traveled all over the state with it because of what my job requires, ive been to L.A six times. yuma, Hemet, Escondido and chula vista for work purpose and not to mention all the other places ive been, (20.000. miles in 2 years).

    but i know that everitime i turn that key, step on that pedal itll perform with grace, my most memorable race so far has go the be the one i had after the christmas party we had after work, 3 months after i took ownership.

    after saying my goodbyes and happy new years i desided to go cruising, when my wish came true, an svt lightning right in front of me, a how lonng i waited for this race, its 2 A.m. and the street are clear, were both at the light and slamed it when it got green, its what dreams are made of, were both neck to neck, we go maybe 2 miles down main,, past the strip and past the court house next to it, i ghees the police had there own party.

    i finally had to let him go because i was on the oopposite lane( i hope there arent any cops reading this :D ), it was a good way to end the year, this going to be my second year with her and am preety happy with it. :jester::):)

    thanks for reading my post and hope to here from all of you and hear what you think :)

  12. Sorry for the short notice everyone! On Saturday January 31st, I'm going to be ordering the St. Pierre Vs. Penn fight. If any of you want to come over and chill let me know. I'm going to be cooking out and drinking a few here at home that night. I live in Oceanside, CA. I figure that we can make it an informal G2G.

     

     

    ............OPEN INVITATION TO ALL....... (BYOB)

    id go but a have a very inportant test so i gotta study this weekend :( , but it be cool if we could have a meet some other time :rolleyes:

  13. so last friday after i got off work i desided to go out and cruise, and i gotta admit i was loking for a fight :D , well i got my wish, as i was coming on the onramp i see these headlights on my ass, so give it a little gas and his still on me, we finally get on the freeway and he pulls up next to me, some punk and his buddis in what looked like to be a brand new lexus, most ceartly his moms, anyways he pulls up to my right and just would not leave me alone, id steep on the gas and still there, i know i said i was lokking for a race but racing moms lexus wasnt part of the plan, so i finally put my foot to the floor and watchd him try to catch up, all i could see were to lights going in betwen trafic tryng to catch up, i ghees we both got what we wanted, but the SS came on top.

     

    next one kind of threw me off guard :confused: , i was going back home on sunday when i see this black trailblaser sS slow down next to me. (maybe it was the same punk in his dads truck :) ) so he floors it, me being the gentlemen that i am floolrd it to, so we line up again and this time we both stepd on it,,but for some reason he let off and i was ahead by a couple of lenghts, boy what a weekend
