In the trucks defense. Don did go easy with the boost bc it doesnt have the new trans in it.

What if you bring a M16, who wins then? First to 160.

dont worry about it matt mike had no remorse for any of us as he finally went full boost in his car and well yea gary, myself and don in your truck were passed at 140+ while mike was on the brakes he didnt line up again though get that 4l80 in there so it can really be played with youll be close to the top of the list after that man

I said he left me like I was standing still but I never said I floored it It was tempting to up the boost to 18-20lbs but I didn't want to break anything,I'll wait for the 4L80 and trans brake

LOL! You should have seen my face when my car jumped forward behind you, while you were still spinning your tires. But then you should have felt the woody I got afterwards.

I will run you. Once I get the 4L80e in. We can run from a dead stop. As long as I get to run on et streets. I will still loose but at least I will have a nice view of you car.
