Wink The 4.8 was hungry tonight

So the little Turbo'd 4.8 seems to have quit an appitite. For the 1st course there was a regcab short bed hemi (guy asked me if a hose blew off when the blowoff valve went off. dumb ***). Then the 2nd course of 645 ci BMW. I think thats the model number. It was brand new and the guy thought he would show off for the pretty lady in the car, didnt seem to work out to good for him. For the 3rd course there was the 2nd helping of hemi. This time it was the extened cab kind. And to finish off the meal we had some turbo'd civic. The poor kid thought that he had something fast on his hands, but we had to show him different. All I can say is that I love my turbo and I cant wait 20lbs

How is traction with your setup. I don't have any trouble right now off the line due to lag, but 1-2 gets kinda scary sometimes. Nice kills by the way.

Ya my lag is minimal. Traction is ok. I run 285's in the rear and they are 31 inches tall. Traction gets hairy when I am going like 30 and punch it. I think that if I bring it up to 15lbs and tune it with the right gas in it I should be happy. For now

Nice kills. I just got back from cruising. I beat a dodge x-cab 4x4 with the 360. I let him have the jump at about 40 and sucked him up to about 85. I got him by about 4-5 lengths when I let off. I also got a civic from a dig. It was no contest.

I took it easy on everyone but the civic. I know the kid that owns it and he deserved it.
