Default i love my turbo

i know i shouldnt be posting this topic in this forum and it should be in kill stories but i have been picking everyones brain in FI for the last month to get my set up running right i thought it only fair that you guys hear this funny sh%t first.

so i left my GF's house last night to go home and she desided to follow me in her 91 probe POS, so of course i needed to drive slow, 65 on the freeway, around 930pm. so the drive is about 20 miles on the freeway adn i am cruzing along feeling pretty good, no sputtering lol, and i here a familiar groul of a big block chevy start to come up next to me. a 69 black chevelle pullls up next to me and keeps kreeping by me slowly. the thing was so loud i couldnt even hear the radio over its exhuast. im thinking, im not going to look over at this guy...big block...GF behind me...eyes forward and he'll just keep going. of course not, what does he do? starts to go by me and then slows down to 65 and sits next to me. im like F@#k here we go . he reves his motor at me and he he leaps forward on the freeway. i look down at my tach. 4k. oil pressure good, A/F mediam rich. i look over at him and his passenger points his finger forward signaling me to open it up. i give him a three count back. clutch in, thinking im going to get smoked as im reading the big shiny 396 fender flags, push into third and rip it. he stomps on it and his car is so loud i cant even hear my down pipe open. i pulled on him all the way threw third, speed shifted fourth, and looked in the rear veiw and could see him two care lengths back. i feather the brakes and slow to 65 again, extremely proud, impressing my self, check my guages and everything is good. the rumble starts to pull up to me again, i look over at him and he wont look back, the passenger gives me a pittiful thumbs up. i could tell i hurt there feelings.

another v-8 goes down in smoke.

love 10 psi at 8200 rpm, with a screaming downpipe.

Good story - my car isn't done yet, but reminds me of the *** clowns that try to race me on my bikes (while they're in a car). I did have a Diablo roll up on me one day though - I just let him pass
