I guess she liked driving a truck, and whatever she likes, she gets.
"A happy wife is a happy life."
PS - She couldn't stand the thought of driving an SUV, so the truck was the next reasonable choice.

A stock f150 vs. a stock titan is not apples to apples tough guy. 5.4-->5.6 but hey maybe New Jersey math is much more in depth than "us" Coloradans no how to do. <----obvious sarcasm I hope you get it. In street racing "if you say your so well versed" than you too know that NO race is equal or fair. Which is exactly my point. To clarify as you say "I am taking a shot at you, because your argument does not make sense" You sir are the argumentative person that I hate, you argue just to argue. 

I'm not your father... your father would explain to you that math, regardless of the geographic region you reside, has nothing to do with mechanical engineering or physics. Speed is a function of physics, my dear friend.

I'm not argumementative. I'm just defending my earlier position. Basically, I was stating that I have my doubts, based on my own personal experiences, that even a slightly modified F150 (tuner, exhaust, CIA) would be able to run away from even a stock Titan. You disagree with this statement?

The edge uses a chronograph just like a digital watch would.

Besides, you're always going to find someone who has an issue with a Gtech or similiar device... You know what they say, "You can please half the people some of the time, but never all the people all of the time."

Well maybe you miss understood me 5.4 liters compared to 5.6 is not apples to apples. And horsepower and torque IS rated by math which creates speed or as you say physics. By multiplying the number of cylinders by the stroke and the clylinder wall diamater or more commonly know as the bore, you get cubic inches which is broken down to liters for simplistic reasons. Hence the diffrence in motor sizes. The replacment for displacement in this case was a tuner. I don't agree that a f150 with a tuner exhaust and intake would lose to a stock titan.

We're gonna line em up on Sunday, and I fully expect him to win. I'm still running 3.55s with 32" tires until I can find a shop that doesn't want $1k+ to swap in 4.56s.

I think I've got my camera rig figured out too. I'll test it tomorrow and post a little vid if it works good. The fun won't happen til Sunday though.

I went to the track about a 2 weeks ago.I have a 04 screw lariat with 3.73 LS rear. I race my truck for the hell of it and its fun ....I dont get all professional. I aave about a 70 lb speaker box i can take out and a lot o weight i could shave by taking out my book bag, lol, but i dont really care that much. one other thing i have going against me are very heavy 22 inch rims. I have the AF1 intake and flowmaster 40 series exaust. i really dont know how to read half the #'s on my time slip here so ill put them all down and a person who knows better can say whats going on. I want to first say that the first time i took my truck to the track i only had a K&N filter and trhe flowmaster exaust. I ran a 16.46 and then a 16.19. This time with the intake i only got to do 1 run and then the track shut down but here are the numbers. R/T .846 (i know it sucks)(I swear i wasent ready lol)60-2.246 ( i dont know WTF this means because i know its not my 0-60)330-6.572 ( have no idea WTF this is either) 1/8 10.224 @ 67.86, 1000 13.328 (is this meters or something ?) and finally 1/4 15.962@84.82. It was about 40 degrees outside that night so the truck was running good ....and im sure with a few more passes i could have cut down r/t and time so ....just putting some solid numbers out there so see if it helps the arguement.
