1st run vs a big block Elcamino was right on his bumper side by side off the line.

2nd run vs a SN95 GT had 1/2 a car to a car on me

3rd run and my most embarrasing one vs a Civic hatch. had car 1/2 on me it was my slowest tiem but fast mph.


Next time I go out I will have a lil more to bring.

Yeah it was fun as hell. I'm not trying to break any record here just messing around with it. I mean noone seems to be doing anythig nwith this new motor minus Rousch's 5k s/c kit and a few exhaust boltons. I'm curious what it will do. Next step is to get some decent tires on the back and install the nitrous kit I have or pawn it off and get a better one for it. If anything it was fun to see how the different tunes work on it w/o getting a ticket. Still haven't figured wich one was the best.That was a big plus since I have taken a liking to my $85 a month full coverage insurance. I know that next time I will have to run with at least 1/2 a tank of gas cause it tends to slosh and kinda dies out for a second when below 1/4 a tank. It's all fun till I find another Mustang to please my need for speed.

It was a blast cant wait to tinker on that motor I think We should make a trip up to sam or call him and see waht he thinks we should do for easy mods to make a little more power and maybe hit her up on the dyno...
