The little 5.0 that could

Car: '98 z28

TheShow50h is on a distinguished road: 5128
Worked B18 and 04 gt

The first run was a friend of mine with a 91 teg with a b18 swap. We lined up at 40 or so and I pulled it down into second at about 4500rpms. He gets the hit and I hit it soon after, jumped hard on him and put 10+ on him when I let out just shy of 120. He stayed within a couple cars of me before I had some work done.

The next race was real soon after as we were heading back to a friends house an 04 gt leaves the light as I turn right out in front of him in the slow lane and he's in the fast. I see that he's on it and probably coming with a closing speed of 10-15mph, I hammer it in second, levels out within a couple seconds and I proceed to put 3 cars or so on him through 3rd gear. He was a little stuned by the whoopin and complimented my car and was even more shocked with how it sounded at idle.

Anyway, those were my first kills with the mild new setup.

Not, I'm breaking out of slow and moving into "quick." Still borderline though.

Nothing a little blue bottle can't fix though.

Crazy bastard 120 in a foxbody, Thought I was the only one with enough balls to bring it to those kinda speeds.

Sure if your not too much faster I don't mind losing.

It's a ported Performer RPM.

I'll leave the stock alternator pulley on it and just underdrive the rest. It's a new stock alternator, I'll raise the idle if it is a problem.
