just wanted too throw my two cents in also remeber when you add more power make sure your suspension can handle it im doing the same thing my 96 gts seemes tired and the suspension is on its way out so im doing a rebuild and i just order'd a new Pro-System-Plus Suspension Lowering Kit from eibach and all new bushings and moter and tranny mounts from Energy Suspension if you order from them go with the black bushings and mounts verses the red the black ones are usally inpregnated with gryaphite for self-lube thats the only diffrence they sell a whole bushing kit also . i got this rec from some guys at the shop who swere by the brand when i put them in ill let you know what the diffrence is
Holy run-on sentence Batman!!!
 
the other day i beat a 96-98 vert in the trailblazer (4.2 4l60) so i think you have more problems to worry about, like a family of 4 raping you around town lol..
Douchebags in SUVs and pickemup trucks trying to race me are the most annoying douchebags of all. In other news my suspicions about you have been confirmed :rolleyes:
 
Pick up truck morons have over sized balls and think thier trucks are fast.
They seem to forget that thier trucks weigh 3 tons and have no traction.
Yeah I know that every 1 out of 100 is actually fast.....:rlaugh:

I guess literally, they hang those stupid nut sacks from the back of the rear bumper:nonono:, I've even seen them on a work van. Swinging nut-sacks on rear bumper is gawdy at best, funny at first, now just gawdy! my .02.
 
Gas burners, yea, I'd agree with you.

But if it's a diesel, I'd watch out. It doesn't take much to get them faster than our cars.

Im tired of hearing this argument when it comes to trucks. It has NOTHING to do with a diesel and EVERYTHING to do with just about every diesel being turbo'd.

Stick a damn turbo on anything and they have "potential".

But every diesel made these days DOES have a turbo, so it does have to do with being a diesel. I can't think of a stock gas truck with a turbo. Oh well, tit for tat.

And it DOES have to do with being a diesel. How many gas cars or trucks, with a supercharger, turbo, nitrous, whatever, can gain 300+ hp with nothing more than a tune? None; so being a diesel does have something to do with it.

You can hate on the diesels all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that a Duramax LBZ or LMM, or a 5.9 Cummins, or a 6.4 Powerstroke, with a thousand or so dollars in it will smoke 99% of the Mustangs on the road. Not to mention the ability to haul stuff, a back seat of decent size, and close to as good fuel mileage.

It's a sad reality. Quite a few running 11's on all terrain tires.

A Toyota Tundra TRD 5.7 litre Super Charged tried to run me.
1. Hes fast off the line but thats all.
2. 0-60 4.8 maybe 4.6 seconds w/manumatic shifting.
3. 500 + Horse power.
But,
4. He's 5000 + pounds
5. Speedometer won't let go past 115 mph.
6. no top end comparitively
7. He would get ran, cause his rear does not, I repeat dose not put the majority of his horses to the ground. The rear is too unstable, very shaky suspension, trying to stabilize 500 + horses and 5000 + lbs.
8. He got ran.
An experience driver makes up for the lack of horses.
9. Close but, no cigar.
10. That freak'en truck brought a tear to my eye it was so beautiful and loud.:nonono: You were right, I was surprise:eek:, he still got ran:cool:.
What, every 10 lbs. there is a loss of a 1 horsepower?!

ooo ooo me me, you could look at the hp to weight ratio this way. he had 1hp for every 10lbs. thats a really good ratio. thats why these new mustangs and camaros with 350+hp is balancing out the power to weight ratio. kinda on a serious note but it does have a comical ring to it.
