    Me and the wife were cruising down the interstate last nite at about 75mph and a red firebird eases by me. I notice on the tag it read " stomp it". So I did. I pull up beside him and set there a second. Then I stomp it and he does nothing. I ease bac down to 75 and see if he will come up beside me. I see him coming but he never lets off. He passes me and I stomp it. By the time I get up to his speed he is about 8 cars ahead of me. I flip the boost up to 8psi and start running him down. I have no idea how fast we were going but it had to be over 135mph, because it took a while to come under 100 when we let off. After I passed him he stayed well behind me. It was a blast. That guy didn't know what he was messing with.

    Hey Allen I hope you have a turbo available for me around next spring. Im going to try to save the money out here. Anyways, that was a great kill, if I still had my TA and a truck whooped me I would have freaked out nonetheless.

    Now, 90 C1500 350tbi/NV3500....just bought a 5.3...need T56, Swap parts.....
