well last night on the way to and from the palisades center mall(saw "fun with dick and jane") I was driving and so was my friend in his '02 explorer sport 2dr. 2 times from a dead stop he took me by a decent amount. At some 45mph rolls, I did better but he still started to pull. I was SO pissed that i couldnt beat him. Even though I was driving my 1/2ton series fullsize Denali, I expected the Vortec 350 to do a little better. I think the rated hp is like 275. I'm probably expecteing too much from GM but come-on, it was a ford V6. so yeah, this started me on a whole new set of plans....now i gotta make my truck beat him. I can do a catback, K&N intake, and the power programmer and should get a noticeable amount more power. My friend had all that done to his 95 tahoe and he said it woke it up alot, so maybe thatll do, but other than that i really dont want to start getting into headers or internal engine mods. HOWEVER, if it comes down to it, i will, also ive been looking at supercharger kits, lol. yes im crazy, I'm even contemplating an LS1 swap into it. UGH i'm just mad he beat me so bad, lol he's my friend that gave me his 85 IROC and before he left for training i'd always mess with him when I had my SS, now i guess this is a way for him to get even, ah oh well....i still need the Denali to be faster...He will be at Fort Drum for a few weeks so i have some time.
