They may just not want to race. People never leave me alone when I am in the TBSS, which cams pretty hard. Revving at me, taking off fast, then falling back, etc I just ignore it. Maybe it's a sign of being old but the only racing I do is at the track, street racing just isn't worth getting hurt or losing a license.

I have the same issue. Before when my truck was basically stock, I'd get a few here and there. Ever since I got the cam done, pretty much no one even gives me a second look. And it's not like you can even tell im cammed unless im in a parking lot in PARK, has a decent little lope to it. Otherwise sounds stock.

for me to roll beside someone in first to rev itd have to be below like 25mph, however I have tried in other gears!

maybe a "fresh" sticker crooked on my back window, an NHRA and a magnaflow sticker might help too

took the truck for a cruise last night and I constantly had people revving it up beside me at lights, trying to race me. I was downtown and my truck is really loud so I was a good boy but when I am on the highway or outskirts of town I am always on the lookout. lol

this is probably the best way, although I have a snail turbo on my back window. I think it scares some people.

lots of stickers on the back will help, just looks like ****

"wow that thing is a piece of ****" usually works w anyone. Lol

Now I let them rev and fly by then I'll switch it to 4x4 and down into 3rd. Leave the light at the same speed and about half through the intersection they lay into it and I follow to pass then shut down mid 2nd gear. When they pull up I always am laughing very loud and obnoxiously.
