Yeah, I am thinking If I did longtubes, true duals, and all the supporting fuel mods I could do pretty well when that time comes. I want this truck to be unique and have crazy power under the hood (450-500rwph) and keep a clean, mild, custom appearance. I will never smoke the tires in it and basically drive the same way I do now, but every once in a while I want to hear a whine

How much power could you make and still keep it driveable? Like a good tune, lt's, true duals with borla mufflers, upgraded fuel system, how much $$ and how much hp do you think it could make? Keeping in mind I won't romp on it, so no more than 500 I would want.

I have observed this type of behaviour just recently. Sort of like having a girl you won't talk to.

Ahh, so I would shoot for 450-500. I think that would make for a fun sleeper. Once in a while scare someone from a stoplight... some punk in a ricer trying to show off. Rev it up and take off... bye bye rice cakes!

Well, having 500 hp at your disposal, I can just hear that engine, saying come one! Let's go! Let me do my stuff! and you just puttering along, never feeling the raw surge of power when you romp on it.

That is similar to a girl hanging around and wondering when you are ever going to speak and quit all the ogling, even through windows. And, it never happens, just never happens. See the similarity?
