Thumbs up Raced a F250 "superchiped" today (long)

I work for a communications company and this morning I had a couple of my technicians working on splicing a fiber about 40 miles north of my office. It was critical that we got this fiber spliced ASAP and they needed some parts from the office. Well I gathered up the necessary materials and left the office in my truck heading up the highway "in a hurry".

About the 1st 10 miles of the highway is usually congested with several traffic lights and a speed limit of 50mph. I was making my way around and through traffic at about 60 mph when I saw a Furd F250 in my rear-view on my a**. I gave him a little black smoke and not wanting to get a ticket I moved over to the right lane and let him pass. As he drove by I noticed a "Super-chips" sticker on his back glass. He slowed beside me on my left (cruising at about 60 in traffic) he stepped on the go pedal and cruised on past me. I kept an eye on him, as soon as we got out of the congested area (speed limit now 65mph) I eased up beside him on his right. He saw me coming and had a jump on me (never let me get even with him) I stepped on the smoke pedal and pulled past him. Last time I looked I was doing about 100 mph. We quickly came up on some traffic and he slowed and turned off the highway. This was a 2WD short bed F250 with a 7.3 I assume. Now, I did not pull away like he was sitting still but I would imagine I had about 4-5mph on him.

While this was all happening I was on the phone with one of my technicians (not the safest thing to be doing) he kept asking me what's going on? Can you hear me? What are you doing? I told him to hold on I was busy and heading his way as fast as I could (literaly).

Any idea about how much hp that F250 has with a super-chip??

I hope to see him again soon and have an even start.
