It wasn't too long ago that a retired couple in their Super Duty 7.3 psd challenged me and I dusted him too. :B
I will say two things. 1st of all the 7.3 is still running a decade later. 2 thumbs up!
2nd off I think I still have a 68 VW Bug that would dust it also :B They were upgraded that year to something like 40 HP....
I'm to old for drag racing nowadays, especially on public roads. But maintaining speed pulling up the Grapevine at 24k lbs is sweet. Even better to go the posted speed limit (35 MPH) down the back side without touching the service brakes. That there is priceless.
Even with my wrong 3:42 gears I run 55 or more from Mexico to the Canadian border on I-5 with 28,240# combined weight. My truck scales at 13,940#, maybe I should get a 13 so I can be within factory specs?
