I was on my way home today and there was a pretty bad sounding F150 Harley Davidson. It sounded pretty nice - in fact his exhaust is exactly how I want mine to sound. Anyway, I've heard these trucks before and they never stood out as sounding tough or anything. It was a pretty ballsy truck though. We kind of did the cat and mouse thing since traffic was heavy, but finally got to a spot where it was clear for a short distance. I pulled over next to him and thought he was getting into it (without the standard 3 honks) so I nailed it. I was still a little into the throttle as I was changing lanes so when I gave it some throttle it didn't pull like it usually does and he went on by me. Add to that I had caught up to a car so had to let off anyway. But regardless at that point he was pulling on me a little.
Long story short, I'm not bothered by my loss...it was kind of a hodge-podge race. But just wondering what the Ford guys do to their trucks to juice 'em up a little. I know they can do the basic bolt-ons, cams, etc., but don't know what they do as far as tuning or anything. I loved the sound of it. I wish I knew what exhaust set up he had...
Oh, P.S., in my defense I have to include mentioning that my fuel pressure is low and even lower under load. There, now I feel a little better.
