Drag race someone in PNWX with a stock intake and post the results.

I took the placebo effect into account and I still think I got maybe 25 HP between the Gibson and the Aircharger. Remember, we are near sea level so we should get substantially more effect than you.
Rick and I went for a drive yesterday and worked the trucks a bit. We figure all told he was about the same weight or maybe 30 lbs heavier. I was following and was able to rum with him, but couldn't seem to gain on him and he doesn't have the exhaust. However, he was on stock tires and getting out of the corners sooner and so was on the gas sooner. One thing to note, however, was that i couldn't even keep up with him before engine mods or before the 150 lbs worth of sliders I added, for some reason.
The only way to really know the differences would be a straight line drag race, but where the hell do we do that and get away with it? We would have to agree on starting reves, shift points, etc and would have to trade trucks and do averages. I don't know where we could get the space AND time to do that legally. Of course we would have to have a stock truck too and weigh everyon's trucks.
All that said, I know I'm getting better acceleration because the minivans with 6 kids in them aren't running away from me anymore with 1/4 throttle.
And yes, I like all the noise!
