Your truck will run about 5100-5300lbs raceweight depending on how much stuff you remove. Mine N/A used to go 4900lbs raceweight then it was 5250lbs after the turbo install and other things.
That being said your truck is about 9-10mph faster than it was stock so you're doing pretty good. Some of us can get into your ET/MPH range N/A and that makes it sound slow when you consider you have a blower but you're not running much boost so I think you're doing fine.

Oh cool....so when I did it back to him later it was a good thing. I thought I was saying "what's up" or "hey bro how's it going nice truck did you see the game I did too it was good ok talk to you later bye" but "you lost" is good too.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a "gloating" or a way to say "Hahaha I beat you".
I think Ricers started it as they were the only ones I saw doing this back in the day. Now tons of people do it.

Actually, I haven't gotten into one street race yet with my Ram. I don't start races, I'm a little to old to sit next to someone and rev my engine. Also, I think you look like an idiot if you did it, then get your doors blown off. I've also never had someone pull up and rev me either, I guess they figure an old guy like me wouldn't race. **** I dunno? OR, they could see the HEMI badges and just get scared shitless! LOL! Naw, that couldn't be it, it must be because I'm old.

Patience and future humility come with owning a Dodge
, especially the patience part.The STS kit is making me lose the humility.
Nice kill, even more so with the big rolling stock. The Dodge was probably not stock, at a minimum he was running a programmer and CAI. Only way he could go above 100mph and accelerate ( although not as much as you ).
