"...that is my truck after we pushed the hood down about a foot. I had a 150 shot on it and it lasted 2 weeks until my friend sprayed it off the line and dropped below 3 grand. Cant be mad at him I told him to race the camaro in it because he shifts better than me.

I drove it for 2 weeks spraying it at every red light and any chance I got. The only reason it blew up is because it dropped below 3,000 rpms. It blew the plastic intake in a million pieces the little peice I found was about the size of a 1 dollar bill folded in half. It cracked 3 pistons and the throttle body was sitting between the headlight and the battery."

For reference: the intake runners you see in the pictures, is the insides of the runners. Not the outside. A stock 4.7 makes 230HP and many people run 100 or 50+50 shots safely. The engine perfers to be blown though.

Why do that to a pickup when for the same price or less you can get a car that will do that stock? :confused:

Because you can haul both stuff and ass. Trucks are fun to drive. (frame+tough suspension==very beatable)

Gravity: Don't know what state that guy was in. (it's not my truck) But as far as I know, it's illegal everywhere. He didn't say that they were racing on the street though, just driving fast from lights.

Though exploded intake + busted pistons = no go

(I know he was a moron and abused it)
