    pulled up to a light, it was like a 97 chevy ext. cab with this huge light rack. 4x4. i dunno the light turned green and i kinda just started to proceed to drive off normal, but my tires kind of chirped (accident) so he thought i wanted to race. so he punched it. and well of course so did i. i tore him up through first and second. traction was kind of an issue, it wouldnt hook up it was kind of annoying. i mean its not like i was sliding everywhere, but i dunno. i mean that 380 hp and 400 ft.lbs of torque im pushing, its really hard to get traction...........

    second one was earlier. this ford truck with exhaust (cliche truck with ginormous tips). the lights have the green arrows. and the green arrow came up and he piped it, but then realized it wasnt green just yet, so he braked. so i was like ok he wants to race. (i just assume everyone wants to race. i dont care if that persons 90 years old and crippled. THEY WANT TO RACE) anyway light turns green and of course i couldnt hook up. but yeah i took him.

    it wasnt necessarily a flat out race for a while. i kind of just took them up to 50 and then had to turn off

    man im really starting to feel a difference with that tune. im thinking im gonna head out to sar on weds to see if i can drop some time. when i floor it on the freeway like all the way through 3rd, its like inside the dash somewhere i hear the sound of water. its so wierd. i think its like coolant flowing. i dont know. i mean its not leaking or anything, but just makes the noise. wierd. i guess you have to ride in it to hear it

    My 92 used to do that. I didn't have the radiator completely full. I ended up taking the air vent line loose from the driver side of the throttle body and kept filling the radiator until I had a steady stream of water running out if it. The sound I was hearing was the heater core was not solidly full of water.

    Yep, mine too. The funny thing is my radiator sprung a leak where the tranny lines go into it and I ended up with coolant in the transmission and tranny fluid in the coolant. What a bummer! The tranny started slipping and this is how I figured out what was going on. You got red coolant and red tranny fluid and if the coolant tank is dirty it kind of threw me off. Needless to say I ended up installing a new tranny and radiator after a fluid dump and 2000 miles. I wish Dexcool would have been yellow or clear at the time.

    on my 95 s10 i used to have. there was a cap directly on the radiator, and then a resevoir. but on the &#39;00 i have now, its just a radiator and a resevoir. so i cant really tell if the actual radiator is fully. the resevoir says its full but yeah. i think here towards the end of the month im going to flush the whole system. i did that with the s10 and it ran a little better. plus it only costs like &#036;20.

    Not to call you a lier but what do you have done to your motor to produce that kind of power. I was looking at your sig and it says you have a 4.3 and do not list any power adder. Just a ?

    It is the boost from stickers and chrome man. I know it added at least 200 rwhp for mine. You got to love sarcasim. You know those ricers with the wings and Huge graphics make at least 1000hp and none of them are slower than 11&#39;s in the 1/4
