Can’t remember who owns the car or the name of the dude driving it (it was his friends) but we made a few runs this evening. The WS6 had some bolt ons and apparently put down 437rwhp…my car is pretty much a bolt on NA 302 and makes 305rwhp for some reference.
First run, both cars had some cold tires as we each spun a bit, I don’t know how bad he did. I feathered first right off the line but at the top I was WOT and pulled a bit. Second gear I was hooked up and pulled some more, third a bit more…not sure when I let off, maybe 80ish???, but I was about 3-4 cars on him.
Secong race I thought it would be fair to him to take traction problems out of the equation, so we went from about 30mph which was a low rpm 2nd gear roll for me (not the most ideal but whatever). From 30 to about 100 or so he had me by a half-car length…was slowwwwwwly inching away from me. Very close race here.
I was behind them both times they ran. A vid should be up soon (by Mike24Ri) , and the bird was spinning like crazy, he had no traction. If he would have hooked it would have been over. (LXTASY) has a beautiful car, but the bird was definitely the faster car.
I do have heads/cam/intake…nothing major and something I condiser to be pretty standard issue for Mustangs, although my moddest compression doesn’t help much (~9:1). There were no dyno charts to prove this magical 437rwhp number…just what the dude driving the car said. Regardless, the hood was popped and the car is most definitely not stock. My car has never put up big dyno numbers or mph at the track, but on the street has done it’s fair share of hanging with and taking down cars that should have beat the shit out of me.
Im not trying to put your car down or anything, and i know dyno numbers dont mean everything. Its just odd that a car making an extra 130hp didnt just walk away from you. :shrug:
Yeah no shit…I’ve been running around with this shortblock for the past 5 years thinking “this winter I’ll boost it”…I actually have a small collection began for a single turbo, but it’s a long ways off before anything will be on the car.
No offense was taken, I too was a bit surprised by the outcome…
Tonight is looking nice is anyone wants to make any runs:)
Yeah, it just so happened that we left at the same time and were headed in the same direction. BTW, you car sounded nice on the way out.
sounds like some good runs though :tup:
