Angry Spanked by a ford beat by a chevy

Went to the desert this weekend and passed a new ford pulling a 5er,Im pulling a 25 ft toy hauler.He looks at me and smiles so Im thinking yea this cummins is doing good(six gun on 6).He LETS me get about 5 lengths on him then nails it!Im looking in my mirror and see him catching up.He was laughing the whole time!!Ok, Im dissapointed.This truck should be at least equal to hp and tq as a stock ford.I tell myself hes bombed and let it go at that.
On the way home I see a chevy in my rear view pulling another 5er.This one has a banks emblem on it.He passed me like I was standing still!!Mind you both times we were all going up a 6 % grade.
With the mods done to this truck it has to be at least equal to a 600 and probably more.Oh well.....
