Ok, so I just loaded up the big bad hypertech level 3 tune :rofl: and was off to the bank to get some cash and then some bagels (because the bagel place's ATM rapes you on fees..).
I get out of the bank, jump on the freeway because I want to log the EGT differences between level 1 and level 3. I jump off the offramp to make a left hand turn over the bridge. Well the exit has two left hand turn lanes on this stretch of road. So up next to me comes a guy in a Toyota dealership parts truck. It is a regular cab Tundra, stake bed with the 5.7 badge up front (Its a parts delivery truck...lol).
I've heard they were quick, but, most of what i hear is people claiming they busted their chops with stock trucks... So I think "hell on level 3 i'll show this guy something!" I creep up a bit, he looks over like I'm crazy and then creeps with me :happy2:.
I'm on the outside lane and as I'm going around it I get a little squiggly (for fun of course) and when the lane goes straight I DROP the hammer... I pull away like a scalded cat!!! I'm all proud of my truck! The defuel was a BITCH though, holy shit! (STOCK TRANS still).
Well he jumps behind me and we wind up taking the same right hand turn... as it turns into two lanes I get cocky and jump into the right hand lane and wait.... as he comes around the corner I let him get to about my bed and NAIL IT. I wasn't fast enough, he had a jump...It didn't matter though....
HE WALKED ME about a TRUCK length, then it shifted and I got to about his rear cab corner and that's where he kept me as he slowly creeped ahead till about 80...
I let off first, there was no way I was going to be able to save this one... I gave him a thumbs up and a laugh and he waved and went on his way....
Cliffs Notes:
Hypertech on level 3 in a CC Dually WON'T squeek you by a regular cab stake bedded 5.7 Tundra....
