You are the one that brought up the horsepower difference, so it would only be right to bring weight into it also.

When looking up a cars time on a E.T calculator, you have to have H.P and weight.

I agree with heater and I don't really see where the argument is coming from. Someone said that I kept up good for the 90hp difference and he pointed out that it weighs a couple hundred lbs more than an f-body wich is true.....

My full bolt-on Z28 makes 360rwhp on n/a tune. I do not use nitrous tune. I have a timing puller... I trapped 110 in almost 3000ft d/a. It has 113+ traps in it with good air. It weighs about 3400lbs also.

Honestly, I think it's cooler to see a race between the F-Body and the Mustang with the F-Body off the bottle and then one with the F-Body on the bottle to see exactly the comparison.


To me it's just cooler to see what the bottle does in comparison.

Yea I have a video of me racing a cammed/bolt-on ws6 before and after nitrous and the difference is huge. I should have another race with this guy as soon as I get a new feed line

I hope that you get to run him soon, even though I honestly think that you're going to rape him on the bottle. Should be a kick *** video if you can get him to race you again.

Mixing radials and bias plys is dangerous plus 450 rwhp isnt going to overpower M/T DR's. Trust me I'm an expert. LOL

Also on the street ET Drags actually stuck for traction.
Not that much lighter actually. Like I said he looks foolish running them on the street in an 11 second car.

Got the bottle filled today... One of my friends has the guys number and told the cobra guy I want a rematch and he said "that race wasn't even close he is a waist of my time"... And he also went on to say that he knew I was spraying when I raced him so I will just loose again. Than I said "lets put $100 on it and see if it's a waist of your time". Sooo either tommarow or sunday I will have the rematch and it will be for $100 and on camera

As long as you have no hiccups, should be easy money

Can't wait to see the outcome. I think that you should be able to pull him with the bottle.

I took it out tonight and tested it. I was having trouble figuring out my damn window switch and I probably did 10 damn pulls on it . I got it all figured out and it pulls hard, but I will have to weigh it tommarow to see how much I have left
