Default Wow!

well I finally got on it tonight
the cam is doing better than I thought it would.

there was a dodge neon with all the pepboy parts you can put on it.
had Dual exhaust also
any ways, I came up on him at one light, and the truck is sounding real good. I noticed he turned down his Radio to listen. so the light turns green and I take off about 1/4 throttle and let him lead me. He gets on it and I just kinda stay at his rear bumper. thinking 0-boy first victim well we catch the next light. and he starts to inch up as the light goes to turn green( one of those lights, where you can see the other light going red) so I let him get the jump, and about a car length ahead of me rolling off the light, and then I nailed it. all i can say is WOW. the seat of the pants feel is significally better. I wound up catching him before we hit 40mph, and put about 3 car lengths on him before I let go.
Now I know it was just a neon, but before the old truck just wouldn't catch people like that..
also had a firebird(v6) try and catch me sleeping doing about 40 mph. this used to kill me. I was not very good from a roll(kinda slow) but I caught him pretty quick. had to shut it down tho. there was a cop pulling onto the street ahead of us

I know the stall is definatly helping me out here, kinda thinking I may want to get a beigger one
