Default Took one on the chin from a tesla

Got in a little roll race on the freeway with a tesla. Not sure how fast we were going when it started but I would guess around 80 because my truck didn't downshift to second. Got up to well over 100 before we came up on traffic. He was pulling me the whole way but not by much. Wished I would have some E54 (no E85 in AZ) and not 91in tank. I can run about 5 more psi on flex compared to 91. I think I would have taken him them. Kinda funny how when I got the E54 in tank I don't need it most of the time but when I got 91 in tank I wish I had the E54. Anyway still impressed with the tesla. It was no joke and it wasn't even the Ludacris one.

It beat your s476 6.0? How much boost was your 817rwhp number with?

Either way thats pretty good for a silent car!

817hp was is with my boost controller set at 15psi with 67% Ethanol in the tank. I raced the Tesla at about 10psi with Straight 91.

Plus on the street I run some 305/50R20's and on the dyno I was on shorter drag radials.

I have a customer with a ludicrous package. It's nuts. How much hp you think you loose with your 20's?

Not sure what I lose with the 20's but you can definitely feel it with the Butt dyno. I've been thinking of ditching the 20's but I don't like the way my truck looks with smaller wheels and tires. It needs to be lowered more to look right on my other sets of wheels and I'm not at all motivated to work on it or spend more money on it right now.
