I never make it a habit to street race, but there was this one time...

I was heading to dump with a bed full of bushes, small trees, dirt, mulch, etc from a land scaping project I did at my house last Spring. It was very early in the morning and up next to me pulls an older body style Tundra with the V8 badge on the tailgate. He was loaded with some stuff as well but it mostly looked like recyclables, boxes, etc. So anyway, he guns it a the 1st traffic light and pulls ahead of me. The second light he's lookin over at me with the chit eatin' grin. Light turns green and I nail it, to my surprise, there was a much different outcome. I didn't smoke him by any means, but I was steadily pulling away from him. I also got in line in front of him at the dump

My Mods are listed below....

EDIT: Oh and BTW, I was only running my 87 octane towing tune which is all I ever really run on this truck anymore. I would have liked to had the 93 performance loaded at that time.
