Neal,

Sorry to hear you didn't get it back for the weekend, I guess that was just too much to hope for. As we spoke of over the phone, Jay @ Superchips told me Wednesday afternoon that he would have the file finished and it would ship that day. I hadn't heard anything from you since we spoke on Friday I think it was, so I didn't know you hadn't received it yet, or I would have checked on it this morning for you. (I haven't had a chance to drop by here over the weekend) I'll check it out first thing tomorrow morning Neal, to give you an idea of when you can expect to see it.

look here Fast, NOBODY calls Andthensometoo a wuss! If you must know (this does take away from the story, but) he had just parked it at a grocery store and I saw him get out and walk to the side walk where I promptly accosted him, and asked if I could take some pics of it. We chatted a while and he went in to finish/start his shopping. Wife is probably at home wondering where in the he!! is her (what ever she sent him for) and why did he come home smiling??

I guess we all know now not to challenge Andthensometoo!

Andthensometoo, you sound so much like my wife, you two must be related!

Mike, I have a freind who once told a mouthy guy in defense of me "She's more man than you'll ever be, and more woman than you'll ever have!" I bet your wife would like to have that one on stand by for the right moment. I can't take credit for it, but tell your wife she is free to use it.

Fast, do not take offense to the above comment, if I wanted to say it to you, I would have. I know your just having fun like I am.

btw Mike, I remember saying that I never went past where the limiter would be in my truck. Well yesterday I was cruisin' down I-75 passin' everything and enjoying how well the Truck handled and accelerated and before I knew it I looked down to find that I was doing 99 mph. Excited, I was going to see just how fast I could go, but I could see cars up ahead, and I don't like to brake at speeds over 90. so I had to let up in time to meet the traffic. damn. For a moment there I thought I was back in my Nova (don't laught, it was fast!) only the Truck was smoother! We really need some uncongested roads around here.

HI!... Well guys I knew it was going to happen eventually, and tonight it finally did. Neal the h.p freak lost his first drag race tonight. Well tonight I went out to the "LOCAL STREET DRAGSTRIP" to see if I could find "DAKOTA BOY" and the only one that was there was a MUSTANG. We shot the bull for a while and he kept bugging me to race him. So after about 30 minutes of pestering me I finally gave in and said yes. First of all I never expected to win anyway, just racing for fun. Well his car was a 1984 Mustang GT, "T" top, 3.73 gears, posi, 302 v-8, off-road "H" pipe, FLOWMASTER mufflers, headers and was also a 5 speed. So we lined up and I said "get on your mark, get set, go!" I spun for about 5 feet and then hooked real hard. I took him out of the hole by about a car and a 1/2 and when I hit 2nd gear I had him by about 2 1/2 cars. Then I hit 3rd and then that was when I was starting to lose ground to him. By about 75mph he was about a car behind me and by 80mph he was starting to pass me. The time we hit the finish line he got me by 2 1/2 cars. He told me later that he runs low 14's. I was kind of impressed that my truck had him all the way down untill the last 150 feet. I figured he was going to walk me right from the start and keep on walking me all the way to the finish line. I think he was a little surprised that I held him off as long as I did. Half way down I bet he was starting to get a little nervous that he might lose to my 4500lb truck. I think that if he was a automatic I would of probably beat him. All I can say is now I want that KENNE BELL supercharger real bad! Mabey next year I'll ask him for a re-match. hee hee hee 8-) 8-)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got to get one, heck, I'd just like the sound of a "Blowzilla" under my hood!
Now we expect you to be tearing up this thread like you do the roads! Can you type (almost) as fast as you drive?
