Well I Finally Got To Race A Hemi. I Was Leaving The Bowling Alley Friday Night When A Red Rcsb 2wd Hemi With 20's Flew By Me With A Loud As Exhaust. So I Got Up Beside Him And Kinda Messed Around To See If He Would Go, And Then He Nailed It But I Couldnt Cause There Was A Car Ahead Of Me. So I Pulled Up Beside Him And Asked Him If He Wanted To Go From A Dig And He Said Ok. So We Lined Em Up And We Went On Three. I Think I May Have Hit The Gas A Little Before He Did But Not By Much And I Had Considerable Wheel Spin And He Didnt Spin A Tire. I Pulled Him By 1 Length In First And When I Shifted Into Second I Immediately Put Another Length On Him And After That I Didnt Pull Him And He Couldnt Pull Me. We Raced To About 90 And I Saw Him Get Out Of It ( In My Mirror, I Might Add!) So It Is Official I Beat The Almighty Hemi! I Weighed More And Spun More But Still Beat Him. His Mods Were Gibson Cat Back And Cai Kit, He Also Had The 3.90 Gears. So Yes I Have A Little Bit More Mods But That Just Makes Up For The 400# Weight Difference. But Really Though Those Hemi's Are Damn Stout, It Really Suprised Me That I Couldnt Pull Him Anymore. Anyway Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds like fun. Always nice to beat a dodge or Ford

 

Nice kill, keep em commin

 

That would mean your truck runs high 14s,I would have expected him to beat you and so will other hemi guys.I would like to hear the hemi guys version of the story told over on DTW.Did you report on the header install recently and how it went?Good kill,OK I see that you are a regcab. OK makes sense now.

 

YEAH EVERYTHING WENT OK ON THE INSTALL EXCEPT THOSE DAMN O2 SENSORS EVERYONE OF THE BASTARDS WERE SEIZED UP AND I STRIPPED THE THREADS ON ALL OF THEM BUT 3 OF THEM WERE STILL USEABLE WHEN I RE THREADED THEM. OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MY SES LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I RACED HIM AND IS STILL ON. I WENT AND GOT IT CHECKED AND THE GUY SAID IT WAS THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT O2 SENSOR. IT ISNT WORKING AND IT IS RUNNING A LITTLE RICH NOW BECAUSE OF THAT. SO I HAVE TO CHECK INTO THAT. BUT I STOPPED AND TALKED TO THE GUY IN THE HEMI FOR ABOUT 45 MIN. AFTER THE RACE AND THATS HOW I FOUND OUT WHAT HE HAD. HE WAS REAL COOL AND EVEN SAID HE WAS A GM MAN THIS WAS JUST HIS WIFES TRUCK! HE HAS A 01 T/A THAT HE RACES ALL THE TIME. HE WAS REALLY SUPRISED THAT I BEAT HIM BUT HE DID ACCEPT THE KILL WITH NO ARGUMENTS. BY THE WAY IT WAS AN 05'.

 

I was wondering how your header install went. I got mine installed Friday no problem and then took it straight to G-Force to get my cam and valvetrain installed. I get to pick it up today with the headers welded up and the cam installed and all tuned up.

 

THAT IS AWESOME MAN. IM GLAD YOU DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. LIKE I SAID THE ONLY PROBLEMS I HAD WAS WITH THE O2 SENSORS. DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THOSE?

 

Good hemi *** kick'n.Passenger side header,from the top or bottom?

 

Well, I haven't driven the truck with the headers all buttoned up yet. Like I said went straight over there to get the cam and all done. but I know since tuning will be updated and everything all buttoned up, shouldn't have any problems.

 

HAD TO GO IN FROM THE TOP. YOU WERE RIGHT. BUT I DIDNT HAVE TO REMOVE THE COIL PACK, JUST THE FIPK TUBE.
