[QUOTE]Originally posted by st5150: [QB] 93PONY- Haven't been drinking, but I am really sick with the flu, but I'm sure next week, I'll still think Ed C. is an internet tele-marketer ;) As for Drew's motor, if his power band was raised and he gained in theory 30-40 rwhp, wouldn't it have shown in his trap speed? I was under the impression that he gained nothing by switching from his E cam. As for my 13 second beast... its all good, I know my standing on [URL=http://www.californiafords.com/fastest.htm]www.californiafords.com/fastest.htm[/URL] :burnout: I've always thought it doesn't matter how fast a guy runs, but what he uses to get there... for example a civic guy with bolt ons running 14.9's probably has some good tips and tricks I can learn from, even though he's barely out of the 15's. On the flip side, a Viper guy running 12.5's with some bolt ons probably has nothing to offer me as far as tips and tricks go, even though he is over two seconds faster than the 14.9 second Civic guy. Same goes for 'stang too... a guy making 235 rwhp out of a stock motored 5.O has some good tips and tricks I can learn from, but a guy with a 245 rwhp '99 GT probably has little to offer. Being close to Apex, Mustang Ranch and Charlies Mustangs for several years, I've seen a ton of combo's. I've seen everything from strokers with Vortech T trims not make it past 450 rwhp to stock bottem end + TFS + E cam + cobra intake + S trim + power pipe make 450+ rwhp. I've seen heads/intake/cam 302's make 255 rwhp and 351W's make 275 rwhp. On the flip side, I've seen the same displacement motors make about 100 rwhp more with the same, but better chosen top half of the motor. After a while I've grown to care more about cars running in my own back yard than internet theory combo cars 2-3000 miles from me. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the combo's listed here: [URL=http://www.cafords.com/fastest.htm]www.cafords.com/fastest.htm[/URL] Top runners of each "class": 5.o NA- #1) TFS heads +TFS1 cam, #2) GT40X heads + B cam #3) TFS heads + TFS1 cam 5.0 + power adder- Waiting for updates on this, I can think of countless cars that should be on this list but haven't submitted their times yet. The people listed so far don't represent the cream of the local crop. Stroker 5.O class- #1) If this is the maroon LX I think it is, it had either Victor Jr's or TFS's and a carburator. #2 and #3) AFR 185's + hi-tech cams. Stroker 5.O + power adder class ) #1) TFS heads, don't know the cam and intake, #2) TFS heads, "off the shelf" comp cam as far as I know and hogan upper intake with TFS-R lower #3) TFS heads, don't know the cam, GT40 intake. Are you noticing a trend here? What's fast on Corral.net isn't what's fast in our back yard... personally I care more about whats fast in my own back yard because I don't race at corral.net raceway.
