Default First kill with Lq9

Truck is still Ideling a little low so as Im catching a light and slowing down I gotta keep lunging the truck forward so it doesnt stall with the new cam until it comes to a stop and steadys out. Well I guess this blue ford ranger in the right lane took it as I wanted to race because when the light turned green he tore off and he got a length before I even put it to the floor. As Im approaching my 1-2 shift Im caught up and next to him and my tires break loose right next to him during the shift, hooks and pulls 2 on him instantly. When I got about 5 ahead a few seconds later I let out and he never came up next to me and a short time later he turned off. Oh well guess he didnt wanna play anymore

Hey, I just think most of the stories in this section are funny. Of course, when I see things like "stupid rangers" it's that much better.
One never knows if the stupid Ranger, stupid Ram, stupid Chevy or stupid Ford has what it takes to win a race, or not. Afterall, that's the point here. We have trucks. People don't expect a truck to stay ahead of a car, etc.

Well, unfortunately, I don't have pics, for now. Long story short, my computer crashed and I lost everything.
As for what I have in the Ranger ...

302
Edelbrock (O-ringed and ported) heads & (EFI) intake (lower extrude honed)
75mm MAF/70mm throttle body/24lb injectors
TFS (#2) cam 1.6/1.72 rockers
N.O.S. nitrous oxide (plate) system
Hooker headers/2.5" dual exhaust
MSD ignition system (6al, coil, multi-step, RPM activated window switch)
Tremec 3550
Chassis Engineering ladder bar/coil over suspension
Motorsport 8.8" 3.73s/Detroit Locker/Moser 31 spline axles/TFS diff cover

I'm sure I forgot something (never fails), but that's most of it.
It's just a bunch of old school stuff, much of which was just lying around.
I have a new plan. But, for now, since I'm broke, this will have to do.

I can't believe My old page still exists, but the it was.
I haven't seen this page for years. I had no idea it was still there!
It's not completely accurate, as I have made some changes but it shows the basic truck.
Anyway, if the link works, you can see my beater and a list of mods that was accurate then.
Did I mention, I can't believe it's still there?
