Me cam only 120,000mile 413whp 35,000 miles ago vs 02ish mustang with 500whp. Built 5.4, ported heads, ported heads, sheet metal intake, vortec blower.
When we took off i was in a bad spot rpm wise. I was in 2nd at around 3k rpm's
he jumped out hard. He was high in his power band i wasn't. he is up little over a car in the 1st sec of the race and when i get in my power band and he isn't pulling anymore we are about dead even, but he is in front Then i start slowly catching up top and he got me by a car at the end. So yeah i got beat but it was a fully built motor with a blower and 100whp more of a car only got me by a car 
I wanted to race again on the way back but he wouldn't 
The vid should be up soon i would think.

Yeah that vid shows how bad IT bogged off the start and he jumped out and the video angle/zoom doesn't show me catching back up it just makes it look like he isnt pulling . Even the mustang driver and the camrea man said he saw me catching up. I would really like to run him again without his 2 stages of n20

I agree with ^. But honestly his car did fair well considering the mod difference.
The mustang is sic. I like it a lot looks great as well. 5.4 ftw.
You do look awfully dumb for the OP then having the video posted up on you.

The GT doesnt run great on the blower for what it is, mostly because it has a 2.87 pulley and no intercooler or anything, something like 200* air temps. Then he has two stages on it but car wasnt tuned for them, he just pulls timing, so I dont think that it's dialed in there either. He just swapped from 4.10's to 3.27's and says it's slower, but it looks like it's running better to me.

Dude I don't normally chime in on stuff like this but you and your car are a ******* joke!!!!!! According to the Video the mustang not only jumped out hard but pulled the entire time!! I don't believe your car trapped 120mph in the 1/4. Show proof or BAN!!! You got beat and admitted to that but made all these lame *** ricer excuses (I was in the wrong gear, I was out of my power ban, it bogged off the line, etc blah blah blah). Dude grow the **** up.. You would never beat that car with your current setup not even close. O.K. I'm done.. Thank you come again.

Yep, with the stock shitty 3650 5-speed, babied it off the line with a 1.57. Got rid of it about 6mo later, always thought it was gonna come apart but never did lol. Never weighed the car but it's got a few pounds off her, tube k-member, solid axle, rear seat removed, bogart race wheels, ac. I'm sure theres more, just don't remember. The compression is in the 9s not 8.5 like the 03/04s.
I still think something is wrong with the 5.4 if it's only putting down 500rwhp, who knows.

Dude don't hate just because your auto, big stall, h/c car 10.9 car only traps 122mph. My car trapped 120mph wasn't my best E/T i spun a little. My best e/t is only a 118mph on a 1.6 60ft. There are many cam only m6 cars trapping 120+mph. LOL I said i got beat and i would like To race again at my power ban just to show what my car can do. I'm no saying I'm going to win but it will be door to door. I'm telling you the vid doesn't show. I'm don't care if i get beat. hell he should pull bus lengths on my he has 100 more hp. I don't even think my car is fast. I went into this racing knowing i was going to loose just so he could see how his new gears worked with the blower. I don't get mad its just fun.

I have 120k miles on stock block and heads and no 90/90 and i pulled 120mph once and 118mph all the other times. 120mph was on a 1.8 60ft and the 118mph was one a 1.6 60ft. Hell listen to my m6 car shift sounds like a auto. My cars only weight reduction is hood and wheels and im 250-260lbs. Im about to do fab 9" and k-member

He has a 250-300 shot on it, just hasnt run real well yet, dunno whats up with that. JMS tuned it for the blower, but wouldnt for the bottle and he took it to another dyno and just pulled timing, I dunno wtf. The last time he ran it on the jug though he had 4.10's and some little *** Nittos, so maybe it will do better with the 3.27's now?

I think his car is faster with the 3.23's with his setup and it also help his traction issue. He needs to race tj N/A car with his blower, 250-300 shot!
