You have no Idea... Houston is nasty with the car scene. 2k13 is going down in about a week. Its the Mecca for car enthusiast. I would def move to texas if i where you. Houston has no Lack of job placement, and you'll love it. It does get FKN HOT tho, and extremely HUMID!

I worked in Houston and it is damn awful in the summer with the mixture of humidity and hot. I can deal with hot, but the humidity kills it. Otherwise Texas is a badass place for the car scene.

You don't even have to walk outside in Houston! Take a shower, dry off, brush teeth and hair, then dry off again, get dressed again and have to dry face off. By the way Manny, good kills!

Ok so I was off by 2mph... Powerhouse (5.0)-------------11.8 @123motor
Powerhouse (5.0) --------------11.2 @ 126bottle

But still, huge difference in trap... At least these are the times that are posted.
Both those passes were on the bottle the 11.8@123 was bone stock with 100 shot no tune and the 11.2@126 was intake tune Axlebacks stock manifolds stock midpipe and 150 shot

I guess. Im sure in person you're probably the nicest, softest most respectful guy there ever was. As with most people on these car forums.

I can assure you that the TERMI was sandbaggin, And also has spray on top. But said it wasnt working or hooked up, lolz. His nutswinging buddy's said it made 520, the driver claimed 505, Im thinking more like 480ish if that. But then again who knows, all assumptions.
Good pounding on 2 of FORD's Elite cars tho,
Just so no one thinks I'm lying about numbers

Great times! About what I'd expect for the mods. There's a couple 5.0 guys around here that could use some driving tips from you.

I heard one of you guys 5.0 blew up. I guess it was the one that sprays the **** out of it from powerhouse. Did he ever get it running again?
