Cops don't like my Puniser VB

I pulled away from a stoplight about an hour ago at about 1/3 throttle. Spirited driving but hardly worthy of pulling me over. The rear tires let out a nice loud "CHIRPPP", just past the intersection. Tried to give me an exhibition of acceleration ticket! Ha ha ha! Apparently he was 2 cars behind me. I explained to him that I was not intending to chrip or spin the tires, and that the Punisher VB was to blame. He looked at me like I explained to him what it was and even offered to let him drive and try it for himself. I kept a real serious look on my face when I said it too. I was insistent and he finally broke a laugh. We talked about the truck for about a minute, and I was thinking to myself "please don't look under the truck and see I have no converters!" I already had my "I just do this for the track, and I'm coming back right now", excuse ready. I still have the numbers on my window from last week, so it prolly would have worked. Anyway, I think he believed me because he went and ran my DL#, walked back to the truck, and said "have a nice evening." That was it! Started walking back to his car. I've been getting really being pulled over lately by forgiving cops. I've already been pulled over twice recently due to those 4.56 gears! I'll blame it on the gears so I can sleep better at night. "Drive it like you stole it!"

My gf was ridding with me Sat night in the truck and she said it(VB) made me act childish! Ha ha ha! That night I was sitting 3 back at a red light and a guy pulls up right beside me in a Dodge Ram Hemi. He pulls a little ahead of me in the other lane, and I can see he has Superchips, Flowmaster, and K&N decals on his rear glass. It had dumps because it was really loud and droned real bad. I told my gf I was going to mess with him so I pulled up window to window. My GF was screaming at me "stop acting childish! Don't you roll down your window!" I couldn't help myself so i rolled down my window and the guy in the Ram saw and followed suit. I yelled "that thing gotta Hemi?" My gf almost died on the spot! Ha ha ha! He or she in the Dodge just rolled the window back up without saying anything. It felt good acting so immature! Shortly after the encounter my gf and I ate dinner in complete silence, which is kinda what I wanted anyway. After dinner we went to her place and got her car

yea i got a warning at the beginning of summer, i got into it middle of 1st gear and it was juuust enough to chirp them a bit into 2nd, i let off at 35mph, and a cop gets me a few blocks later, i told him my oil pressure gauge leaked and there was oil all over the pedals (mostly true) so he let me off with a warning
probably didnt believe me though.

Look on gf's face after the first full throttle upshift Priceless! I would like to ride in another truck with the same vb. I dunno if it's because of the 4.56 gears, but she's violent going into second. Not in a bad way, put it pops the dash! Can't wait to drive this thing after our first freeze of the year. Going to have to watch it around corners.

I'm super pleased w/ my Punisher VB. My trans has 154,000 miles & it hits hard when it needs to & is quick & firm at light throttle. Punisher is the man!

Next time try, "Aye Officer, I just replaced the Dilanthium crystals
in my Punisher warp speed converter and......"

PS: Paul, you better trademark that.. Punisher "WarpSpeed" Converter,

HAHAHA! I too was pulled over for the same exact reason in much the same way. I explained to the officer that I had a performance valve body in the transmission to reduce belt slipage and heat in the transmission and as a result it "slams" into the next gear instead of "slips". I went on to say that this plus the cool streets and tires contributed to the "chirp" he heard as I was accelorating into traffic... he took my information and and came back w/o a ticket or warning but he asked, "So is this a stick shift?" I just said no and we departed ways... He really looked like he was understanding what I was saying up to that point.

Damn I want one bad. if it shifts anything like when you blow the odometer fuse its gonna be bad ***.. Somehow my fuse blew one day only went a half block I knew something was wrong as soon as it shifted and damn near chirped the tires , turned her around slowly went home, didnt want to mess anything up put a fuse back in everything was great.. Anyway man if the punisher VB does anything like that I'll be one happy camper. And ya cant beat the 195.00 either!!! Right after i get the lfp bars the VB is next.. Did the sharadon stage 3 in my 13 sec. 04 Ram 4x4 and was very happy for this newer technology crap... Cant friggin wait!! newer dodge has the worst throttle lag and shifting when stock I mean its absolute garbage...

Every ride I have has a shift kit in it and stall. cant have one without the combo....

No, it was Pantego. Couldn't believe they let me off. That place is almost as bad as Dalworthington Gargdens. Still wanna try out that wheel swap? Temps are nice outside for some Sunday fun. Gates open every Sun at 2:00.
