That said, there are some setups that ate all about making enormous amounts of power with no consideration to the smoke. Banks engineering is quoted as saying it is a waste and sign of inefficiency.
I run 4.56 gears with 37" tires on my turbo diesel and it will give just about anything a run for the money. My first tundra was a Bully dog, that had a program available called "crazy Larry". Not only did it smoke beyond levels I could imagine, but it also ran way too hot with EGT numbers that scared the hell out of me. At 5 years old, my diesel had to under go an opacity test in which the acceptable limit was 30 percent. With 0 emissions equipment, on the 60hp setting, I registered 2% opacity. Banks must be doing something right.

A big part of the reason I spend the extra money for the Banks stuff on my Cummins. Even running an added 120 HP, my Cummins hardly smokes at at all, less than stock and while it can look bad, the average amount of smoke that leaves a stock diesel is actually not as bad for the environment as a rich running gas engine. You just can't see the damage from the gasser.

No one ever wants to play with me....maybe it's the area I live in (northern KY).
Like it was said erlier, I see more kids being punks in POS civics etc and acting tough when me fance and I are out in her car...I immediatly think "damn if only we were in the Mach"
I generally don't street race. In fact I have never been in a proper three honk street race. It's usually someone pisses me off and I drop to 4th and cut off at 100 ish or some punk kid flys by me so I catch him.
MOST of the time I'm cruising around LOOKING for someone to aknowledge their car or give a wave. Now the nice weather is coming, there will prob be more.
