HI!... WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL! I thought I was the only one that ever came in here!LOL! The reason I hav'nt entered any new "VICTIMS" lately, is becauae lately it's been the same kind of cars/trucks trying to race me. You know the ones : NEON's, GRAND PRIX's, HONDA's, a ton of CHEVY S-10 EXTREME's, and any other 4 cylinder peice of crap out there. I guess they all think big pick-up trucks are slow! NOT!!lol! Well I've probably had about 20 races in the last few weeks but none of them were worth mentioning. Did'nt want to bore you guys with the same kill's over and over again!LOL!

Well this is a good one to mention : Today I raced a CADALIAC STS and a BMW XL-5 SUV at the same time. I smoked them both. The BMW went pretty good. I t even beat the STS by about 3 truck lengths! I had the BMW by about 10 truck lengths! This was the BMW SUV with the low stance, huge LIGHTNING like wheels and tires and 4 exhaust pipes coming out from the rear valance. Arn't these BMW SUV's supposed to have a 320 h.p engine? It sucked out of the hole, but once it got going it went pretty good.
There! That ought ti tide some of you guys over for a while!LOL!

Hi Neal,

Most of those Caddy STS's run a 0-60 times of about 7.0-7.2 seconds, so that BMW SUV must be pretty strong! Or, that STS was a bit weak.

HI!... Well "TWO" more victims tonight!

1ST - A "99" JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, V-8, POSI. From a stop light I took him by about 7 truck lengths and then I let off at 80mph.

2ND - A young kid in a RED CHEVY SIERRA, SHORT-BOX, REG-CAB, STEP-SIDE, 5.3 (i think ?), POSI, 4X2. I was slowely passing him at about 35mph. He must of not liked this, and floored it! I was manually in 2nd gear. I punched it and emmediatly pulled away from him till I hit around 100mph! By this time I was so far ahead of him that he gave up. At the next red light, he did'nt want to get next to me so he turned right. As he should of! LOL!

Hey ATST,

Great video clips! And I especially liked John Kay's BTBW wailing in the background, excellent choice!

HI!... Well guys, I know it's been a while since I have posted a "KILL" but it's been DEAD around here lately. I guess when you drive around for a couple days with a 14.53 E.T on your window that word gets around.lol! Well tonight I was going for one last cruise before going home. Well at a red light, I got next to a young kid in a early 80's MONTE CARLO, the style with the big bulging front fenders. Can you say "UGLY" !LOL! He had a v-8, but I think it was only a 305. Well from several lights, he would leave pretty quick with me right next to him. I was at about 1/8th throttle!LOL! Finally after doing this routine for about 4 lights I was getting tired of playing with this guy! I decided that at the next red light that I was going to send him home to mama, crying!LOL! Well it was funny, because he must of been thinking the exact same thing! BOY! Was he in for a surprise!LOL! Well the light turned green and I left normal, with him right next to me. All of a sudden he jumped on it and squeeled his tires. I jumped on it and unleashed the "FURRY OF THE FORD". I shut it down at about 90MPH and he was about a 1/8th of a mile behind me! What a frickin joke!!!LOL! I hope he had enough kleenex in his car to wipe his tears away!LOL! At the next light he was making a left turn and I got next to him. He looked over at my truck with this look on his face like, "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF PICK-UP TRUCK IS THAT"? I love it!LOL!

Alright guys, I know you big V8 boys probably dont think much about the V6. Here is my story anyways.< THERE I WAS. IT WAS A COOL TUCSON NIGHT. I WAS COMMING FROM MY DADS. AS I WAS COMING UP TO YHE LIGHT I SEEN A NEW DODGE V8 4X4 AND A LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S CHEVY. THEY LIT IT UP AT THE LIGHT. I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST LET THIS PASS....NOT!!!!!! THERE NEEDED TO BE A FORD IN THE MIX. AT THE NEXT LIGHT WE ALL LINED UP SIDE BY SIDE. THEY WERE BOTH THROWING REVS. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WE ALL FLOORED IT. MY TRUCK GOT OFF SLOW. YOU 4.2 GUYS CAN RELATE.THEY HAD ME ABOUT A HALF TRUCK LENTH FOR THE FIRST 50 FEET. AS SOON AS MY TRUCK CAME UP ON THE PIPE I WAS GONE. AND I DO MEEN GONE. I WAS SO FAR AHEAD OF THEM THERE HEADLIGHTS LOOKED LIKE TWO CANDELS IN THE DARK. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. I WILL ADMITT. I DO HAVE A LOT OF EXTRAS UNDER THE HOOD, BUT I STILL LEFT THOUGHS BIG V8'S IN THE DUST. DAMN I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!! Hey I can even beat a "stock" 5.4 F-150, lol.

Hey Ford Sport,

So whatcha got under the hood making that V-6 so strong, a blower maybe?

Let me guess, you've got a blower & you're grinning from ear to ear kicking V-8's butt's?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Well, as you can see from the bottom of my posts that I don’t tell anybody my secrets. Well, I have let a few of them out of the bag. But sorry Mike, I can’t let all of them out. Let’s just say it is very different from stock. I got a few things on it that arnt on the market yet. I had to have them modified to fit my truck. Most of it you can get from the mustang mods, but you have to do some machining to get them to fit on our trucks. With a little bit of elbow grease they work out very well. And you will flat fly. I have had my truck on a dyno. Here are some numbers. 322hp at 4500 rpm with 390 torque. This was done at the flywheel but the hp at the wheels is probably more like 290. I had a dyno graph arond here somewhere. When i find it I will post it. Anyways, I have a lot more to do with this truck. I would like to break the 400hp barrier. Can you believe this is all from a 4.2 V6? I have another 4.2 with just a few mods on it and it kicks butt! Once it gets its revs going anyways. The other one is just a project that my Dad and I work on together. He is a Professional mechanic and he has a lot of connections in finding all this stuff to go on this truck. He knows a hell of a lot more about it then me. The title is still in my name though! lol. We were going to get a 5.4 but we decided to go with the 4.2 so we could brag about how much power we can get from it. If it were a 5.4 people would just nod and say "thats nice". With a 4.2 people are like "holy sh*t, that’s only a 6"! We haven’t done anything to the outside of the truck other then a custom hood. That hood was only because there was not enough space under there for what we needed. We call it he sleeper truck. That’s because when someone wants to race, it wakes up! Other then that it looks like a regular F-150. Well, anyway. i will be giving you a call soon. I want to get a superchip for one of my trucks. Talk to ya later.

Hi Ford Sport,

I understand. I have a customer in North Carolina who has had a custom Powerdyne blower installed on his 4.2 V-6 4X4 F-150 as well, and he's currently turning close to 6 second flat 0-60 times, at over 3000 ft. elevation!

He had to do the same things, a lot of custom plumbing, etc., to adapt the 4.6 F-150 Powerdyne blower to his 4.2 V-6, and it's working like a champ. He has a very heavy Super Cab 4X4 V-6, and though it has not been to the track to document his 1/4 mile times, I would currently estimate him to be well into the 14's, even up at his elevation.

We had his F-150 on the dyno, as he drove down to the Superchips development facility just north of Orlando, Florida, and got a good workout during his tuning session.

We have several customers who have done this, adapting other blower kits for the V-6 F-150, that we've tuned.

I'm delighted to see another custom blown V-6 F-150, good for you!

HI!... Well guys I just got another "VICTIM" about 3 hours ago. This victim that I picked on was one that I figured that there was no way in hell that I was going to win against! This time the "H.P FREAK" picked on a PORCHE! YA I know, I should know better!LOL! This was a "86" TURBO PORCHE. It had no other badging on it but the "TURBO" badge but I think it was a "944". I have a diecast model of the exact PORCH I ran, and It's a "944". Same colour too, WHITE! Well back to the "KILL" story. I was coming up to an intersection that the light had turne GREEN a few seconds before. As I costed through the intersection, I noticed a white car a little ways in front of me was moving up the hill pretty fast. I decided to speed up a little and play with him. Half way up the hill I got about two truck lengths behind him and noticed it was a older PORCHE. I think he did'nt like me too close because he started to speed up slowely. I followed. We went down that hill and procedded to go up the 2nd hill. At this time we were both doing about 45MPH, and I was still about two truck lengths off his a$$! Well at the top of the 2nd hill there is a right turn on ramp that leads to a two lane road that runs next to the local expressway. He turned right and so did I. He went into the turn pretty fast, probably thinking that my truck could'nt. I usually take this turn in upper 1st gear but I was entering it too fast for ist gear.(40MPH) So I was trying to go into the turn in 2nd gear but close to the power. He turned and I heard him go to full throttle. As soon as I got straight I punched it! The time I hit about 5500rpm in 2nd gear I was right on his A$$ and going for the pass!. As soon as I got next to him he was just shifting into 4th gear. (I think?) I was just getting into 3rd gear. I was pulling on him up to about 4500rpm in 3rd and then he was very slowly gaining on me. When I hit 5100rpm in 3rd gear his front bumper was at my drivers door and he was not gaining anymore. I was actually starting to pull on him very, very slowly! Well at this point we were going about 111mph! At this point I think he figured he could'nt win and gave up. We drove down the hill to the waiting red light. He was making a left turn and I was making a right. We were right next to eachother and I gave him the thumbs up! He just looked at me. I then motioned for him to roll down his passenger s window. He did! I asked him what year his PORCHE was. He told me it was a "86" and was bone stock. It looked brand new from what I could see, he must take good care of it. I then asked him if he had it to the boards. He said yes! He then said to me that my truck was fast as hell and he could'nt beleive that a pick-up truck just beat him! I told him that I was stock except for the exhaust! I could'nt lie about the obvious!LOL! I still can't beleive I beat a PORCHE, old one or not!LOL! I wish I could of run him from a dead stop. I think then I would of beat him by more. I love this truck!LOL! Does anyone know what the #'s are for a "86" 944 PORCHE? The PORCHE owner told me that it runs high 14's. Could this possibly be right? I run 14.53, so it could be.

He went into the turn pretty fast, probably thinking that my truck could'nt. I usually take this turn in upper 1st gear but I was entering it too fast for ist gear.(40MPH) I also don't have my front or rear sway bars on right now because I hav'nt had time to put them back on from when I went to the dragstrip. So I was trying to go into the turn in 2nd gear but close to the power. He turned and I heard him go to full throttle. As soon as I got straight I punched it! The time I hit about 5500rpm in 2nd gear I was right on his A$$ and going for the pass!. As soon as I got next to him he was just shifting into 4th gear. (I think?) I was just getting into 3rd gear.
