Thats just no what its cut out to be.... Although he did trap around 102

My buddy CRAZYCUTER4.8 has a cousin that bought a Ram SRT-10 last year and we got his *** out to the track soon after. CRAZY has a 03' EC 4.8 with basic bolt ons at the time and spraying 170 shot and was eating his *** up in the 1/4 mile! I dont care if some one said oh he is spraying thats cheating-blah blah blah- Ill take 150+shot over 2 more cylinders in that situation any day. Although the Ram was stock!

We lined them up, I brake stalled to about 2,000rpm and left on a couple lbs of boost. I had instant wheel spin (stock tires) then pedaled it some to gain traction and we were off. My boost gauge then settled around 6-7psi and I was looking at a yellow V-10 in the rear veiw.
Thought he would run me down on the top end but it wasn't happening today. At the end of the track he smiled and asked "how much are you spraying". I replied "no bottle here". Lol
Even with a terrible launch I managed a 8.33 at 80.68 to his 8.54 at 77.96mph.
He also spun the tires as much if not more than me. With slicks, no doubt we would both run in the 7's and the V-10 might come out on top, but it would be close in the 1/8 mile. I'd just have to turn the boost up some more.
