Why the big change? Should have done at least some 410's

Yeah i went from 2.73's to 3.73's in my old 97 non-PI GT... definitely made a huge difference... just don't know if i'd wanna go more extreme this time around...

3.55's were optional on NA cars, standard on Extreme cars, and not available on SC cars. 3.27's came standard on NA S281's in 2004.

Still confused.

Sounds like there's more to the car then being said. Like bigger cam, BB or stroked and a short runner.

I don't care if your Mach is gifted, it DOES NOT perform like that with "bolt ons" and mild cams. If you're lucky... Very lucky. Your car might trap 110. A srt8 jeep is no slouch, neither is a sc M3.... Therefore I call [BS flag]

You just have way too much confidence in your mustang with a few extra valves is all... Lol

How do you figure that ?.. My car with bolt ons on Slicks at 15psi has seen a 108mph with shitty 60ft's... So a cammed Mach 1 and bolt ons should see a better trap

Frick i think you should stick to bench racing on GM sites dude...

Bench racing? LOL!!

Dustin ran comparable times to yours in his Mach with road race suspension.... When my car was stock (with 2 females passengers) I got him. You know what standard LSX mods do to those motors, cuz you used to own a batmobile. Lol I'm saying this Mach might trap 110. Why's that so terrible of me to say? Just because my car is not capable, from an engineering standpoint, of 60'ing well you call me a bench racer, when I've been in the game as long as you. My Cadillac traps 110.8 in 95* heat. What's your race car trap?

Was that too harsh? Lol

I had 373s now 410s. 410s get you out the hole much quicker. 4.10s FTW

ive told you what i have.. im not hiding anything..but i know people wont believe me because i do alot of things backwards to what 4valves community would think... i have my own lil theorys and things i have put in the car have just matched up well.. im confident in my car but im not sure either (first v8) all i have ever heard is about the mighty lsx..but all i know so far is my car pulls like a sunmabitch.. we can just call it the little engine that could. the people i roll with (m3 & srt8) cant believe what my car can do and they know me know me.. in all good fun im gunnin for u.. the all might king (lsx)

July?? You just said you were down to run Epik's Coupe. Why wait so long lol? Sounds like you arent very confident in your Cobra against Epik's Coupe. And why would you want to run at TNT for $50 when you can run on Wednesday for $15??

Was that a threat? Just curious...

Well. You gave me a deposit for longtubes. Then roughly 4 months later you text me saying you wanted your deposit back. That was like almost 2 years ago.... How much did u even give me?? Lol

I hear ya, but the track is where you really have to drive your car to win. Anybody can race from a roll, that doesn't take much skill at all, but launching @ the track & rowing through the gears is what shows your true skill level behind the wheel. It's a learning experience that's for sure...
