Get her some 3.29's and some 275/40/18" sticky tires to go with that tune
I'm sure you've got a nice car man, but keep in mind that you posted a vid of your Mustang beating a GXP/W-body. So of course we're on the deffensive!

Lol I let off towards the end but I will agree it wasn't a steady Pull. But the very last time we ran I pulled a car or so and I kept pulling a little. So she says lol. Remember in the vid above I didn't have the intake or tuner yet. I really wish I could have got our most current last race on film we both took off at the same time but those 410s still went to work that and having 2 more mods lol

Just make sure you raise those shift points when you tune it.

same here BUT they didnt have 4.10's,, that is the difference in this case, the GXP's are poorly geared IMO

it stinks thought beacuse a good roll for you guys in 1st puts me in second lol.
Actually, 2Vs are slow unless they've got gears, full bolt-ons, and/or a power-adder. Back when I owned LS1 Camaros, I abused several modded Mustangs on the street and at the track, some of them blown. And that was just with free mods, a lid, and a Magnaflow. The only ones that ever beat me had their combos dialed in, which many 'stang owners don't bother to do (not saying you're one of THEM!).

Because there are so many cheap mods for Mustangs, a lot of guys just throw **** on without thinking about their combo, and the cars often don't perform as well as you'd think.

I think it doesn't matter who gets to the line first, you'll never win.

Agreed. Full bolt on cars aren't a problem for me from a dig. The strongest ones, with the closest races have been 4.10 and higher cars. 4v cars love gear as well, but can get by with 3.73s because of the higher power output lol. Just don't catch a Cobra from a 3rd or 4th gear roll. :shudder:

I don't have a video of it, but I rolled up on a 2001 Cobra (N/A 4v M6), tag said "RLYFAST", 60 roll, put a car and a half on her. I shrugged my shoulders with my hands up like "What happened? A Monte Carlo? Really?" She flipped me the bird and fell back. lmao

lol all i know is that i would love to run you if you where local....what year was that stang in the video, because it looked like a older body style pre new edge design, if so the gt version of that year only had 215 hp and the cobra made 305. all rated at the crank of course, but sadly enough 90% of mustang drivers cant drive worth a damn lol, i do believe i have the driver mod...the vid i posted on here earlier in the thread was an example, but 2vs compared to any lsX is garbage we all know this...but hey at least the new 2011 kicks but!

Gotta love Alabama Guy. Always backs his posts up with vids!
I bet 4.6 2V autos are as slow as this recession.
