Default Me vs. a Mustang GTCS

I was out playin around the other night..ran a guy in a 2008 Mustang GTCS for some fun.

I launched at 2500..dead hooked the Mickeys. Can't really launch too much higher than that.

'stang is running with his lights off so as not to alert cops by the dual headlights approaching on a 1 lane road. Stupid IMO, but sometimes necessary if there's a major roadway or office/apartment buildings that can look down upon the race spot. I take it you guys use that spot often and wanted to hang there for awhile?

BTW your car sounds like a beast! How you liking them L92 heads? I'm guessing with your specs you are 480-500rwhp? One odd thing I noted: 32 degrees total advance. ?? Every L92 tune I've read about recommends 22-23 degrees total for the best power with stock LS3/L92 heads: even fully ported (ie less efficient quench) heads seem to work best with 24-28 degrees. Might have some decent power hiding there? Along with alot less chance of knock retard/lower fuel octane requirements.

I'm going the L92 head route this winter and have been scouring the various build threads. here's one for you that you will find interesting (Start at Post #7, lists the current rwhp leaders with stock LS2 bottom ends):

I didn't know he had the lights off..the slow moving car coasting past at the end of it was him..he said he let off of it as soon as I passed him..he wasn't expecting it to be that quick..lol

I'll have to check that thread out..
