Today while I was in the highway, a trailblazer pulls besides me and signals me if I wanted to race. I of course couldnt resist so I floored it. Immediately, he floors it. We started at about 50 MPH. I jumped ahead of him, but when I hit around 80-85, he started to walk past me!!!! I couldnt beleive it!!!! Just when he was about a car length in front of me, and I couldnt catch him, I cut the throttle.
What in the world happened?!?! I thought my D was pretty good at high speed launches, or at least it used to be!
Oh well, on more reson to be dissatisfied with my D besides the Balljoints, A/C going dead and the DBC.
At least my D looks a thousand times beter than his ugly Trailphaser.

I am thinking on putting an Accel Ignition system with coil and everything included from Bernd at Speedtweaks. Any pros and cons? Will I get better performance? How much HP might I expect? Can I keep my Autolite 3923's with the higher performance ignition system?

Well guys, just had to vent. Oh well, now I know NOT to race the Envoys and tralblazers when i see one.

Reagrds,
