Default Best race so far.
Well tonight my buddy and I were bored so we decided to race eachother. He has an 05 Silverado SS AWD mods 224R comp cam, long tubes no cats, true duels with x-pipe and bullet mufflers, 42lbs an hour injectors, Circle D 3200 stall, TransGo shift kit, HP Tuners wide band tune, and no tailgate and spare with a 1/4 tank of gas. I had 3/4s tank of gas. First race was from a dig. I tryed to peddle it and I caught him at about 110mph between about a 1/4 and 1/2 mile. FYI he has 1.86 60' times. Second race we did a 30 roll and we were side by side till 90 and then I walked him hard and was about 2 lenths ahead at 120mph. All and all 2 damn good races and a good way to end the boredom.

Not too surprising that he took you off the line.

lol at high speed though, trucks don't have much better aerodynamics than bricks j/k

Its crazy tho before I had my cat removed he would be right on my back bumber all the way up to 140mph. After I removed my cat and wide band tuned again now at 90mph+ I pull a lot harder.

Yeah, a cammed, tuned, and otherwise heavy-modded truck!

I'd love to give your truck a run with my GN. It's got 156,000 miles on the stock longblock. I'm fairly certain you'd have your hands full after the first 200 feet or so.

Tech sections really aren't the place for a call out. If you two want to run take it elsewhere.
