Got punked by two trucks recently The first encounter was when leaving wally world the other day with an older model chevy truck in front of me. It obviously had a cam and he threw me a rev as I approached. I returned the gesture and pulled along side of him. He said he wanted to go from 30 which I agreed. On the 3rd honk he jumped out about a car and it stayed that way until I shutdown. When we stopped at the light I asked what kind of power he was putting down and he said over 400. I asked for a dig run but he declined because he said he couldn't get traction, lol.
A day or two later I was heading down the road when I came up on a new body style pewter chevy truck. I didn't think much of it until he punched it, damn thing sounded mean. I pulled along side of him and let him know I was game. I informed my wife that this wasn't looking good but it would still be fun. On the hit I got about a carlength but he was gaining fast. Once he started to pass I shut it down as there wasn't much point in staying in it. No clue what was done to it but it was pretty quick.
On a side note...what the hell is wrong with you chevy truck guys slamming your trucks but running stock rims? I use to think they were just in transition but I see way more slammed trucks with stockers than with aftermarket rims. Both trucks mentioned were slammed on stockers

It is only ironic that both of these trucks were fast. I'm talking about 9 out of 10 trucks I see slammed are on stockers. The chevy guys are the worst but I see plenty of other guys driving other brands doing the same thing.
The first truck I encountered lives in my neighborhood. In their driveway are 4 chevy trucks, all slammed, and all on stock rims. The one I raced is the only one even close to being fast.
I am far from a fan of the fast and furious mentality I was just curious if I was missing something?

don't know about the stock rims/slammed thing: maybe its because thieves are bad down there? Or most likely: chevy just makes some badass rims from the factory and they like them just as they are. 
I assume you were in your ?? twin turbo, 5.0, head/cam Mustang?!?! Or were you in the TBSS?

Sadly the stang is down at the moment and have been borrowing the tbss. I spun a rod bearring which in turn heated up then put a hair line crack in my crank. Should be back together in another couple of weeks.
On very mild cams and my old na heads it put down 575 on 12lbs. I then swapped the heads/cams but didn't make it back to the dyno for a retune. Now that its down I went ahead and bought an intake.

Killer trucks Well as long as you didn't get beat in what sounds like a bad *** stang... than all the better. I'm from vt, and I tell you what, most the guys up here are running diesel trucks (jacked) and some are insane. I wouldn't wanna race a few and I have a fairly modified ls1 trans am. I work at the Autozone up here and some of the guys I know are running over a thousand fl lbs of torque and over 600 horse, and it doesn't even take much to get there. Hmmm diesel powered trans am? jk!

I've been dying to put a cam in it. Hearing an suv cammin would be pretty badass. The problem is the trannies are pretty week and don't think it will last very long. I think I'll just go ahead and get me a stall very soon.

i was just looking at your mod list in your sig and was wondering why in the world you would want anti-squat brackets, i always thought that the more weight you can get to transfer to the rear the better.
