Default really should save to get faster...

...because i lost to a girl...in a sentra

basically it was a 2 lane after a stop light and up a hill a few hundred meters and switched to a 1 lane. i was behind her and was gona pull around her and get in front i was late for school. so as i started to pass her she probably was like "look at this jerk trying to pass on the inside" and floored it. i was already at 45mph so i couldnt downshift to first and it stayed in second and i wasnt gona chance it since i had to merge to her lane.


i really need my gears and then some so i can not lose to girls in sentras

im gona need to save up for a cam/stall/trans upgrade/driveshaft/brakes/headers to get anywhere. since its winter and the elements changing it probably would be a nightmare for tuning a street safe turbo setup, so id say just get a cam thats streetable and able to work with a supercharger and find a tvs1900 somewhere. kinda something that preston has done with his truck up in our northern neighbor but i really need to start saving for upgrades on power vs. cosmetic stuff.

woulda had her if i was full on from the start cuz my truck moves fine when its in the upper RPM range in 1st, but other than that its a poopy flavored lollipop.

only thing is its so tough to finally come up with a plan of where id like to go with it. ive been everywhere from nitrous, cam/stall, turbo, supercharger i just cant make up my mind. being lifted and all is kinda making it more of a chore of where to go. biggest problem is having to find a place to tune, and building the drivetrain to handle all the power instead of just slapping it on and being good to go.

id love to make a list but i wouldnt have a clue of where to start to improve my misery lol.

lol.


really only thing i can do now is save up to install my gears then send my ecu out for a retune and look around for my next go fast mod. probably a servo since its cheap/easy, maybe some and headers. gotta make a plan on the best way to get reliable hp for the price. really sucks no one wants to be lifted AND fast around here, except for guys with FI or a 6.0 lol.
