Default Should I make a callout?

So a kid I used to know has a 2005 Mustang GT. He tried to claim it is supercharged but it never whines, whistles, or has extra gauges. It is LOUD though. I know he has exhaust and CAI. With the mods in my sig and a tune, should I shut him up for returning to the neighborhood to floor it outside my house like a tool when I am at work?

Cant see your mods but you should def call him out and just make him open up the hood to see his claimed super charger

Or just ignore him and let him continue to be a tool by himself. Don't stoop to his level.

Sorry mods are longtubes, ory, bbk ssi manifold, k&n, slp lid, 3200 stall, shift kit (built trans) 3.23 gears, tune. And i would like to see his "blower" but very true to being the better person as well.

Without the blower you should get him, but if he really does have one you probably won't have a chance

Yeah a mutual friend said our cars felt really similar but that was prior to intake, stall, and tune. So there is probably no way he has the blower. He made that comment when he first got the car. And I know I am the better driver. So I would hope there is no blower because I would think I could clean up if there isn't lol

Yeah if he was supercharged it would most likely be in the 420-500 rwhp range compared to your 320-340 rwhp, so there would be a huge difference. Full bolt ons only those 3 valves make around 310-320 rwhp, so if that's the case you shouldn't have a problem

I would think I have at least 340rwhp? Between full exhaust and intake? But yeah so I am still on par with the theory of no FI = win. I'm going to eventually be H/C/I/E when my build is done so that would theoretically be in the same whp range right? (With a boosted gt)

But how could he make that much rwhp on FI when stock is like 260ish (his is an auto)??

Yep a HCI combo would be pretty much in that same range. As far as dyno numbers are concerned, they can vary quite a bit sometimes, so your car may make 340 on one dyno, and 300 on another. Point is don't sweat the numbers You do a decent HCI combo along with some better gears, and I bet you beat 90% of those blown stock bottom end 3 valve stangs

Yeah a stock auto is around the 260 mark, but he could still easily make in the 420-450 range. 500 rwhp is at the very upper end, and that is with a manual as well

If he does not have a charger you are going to make him look absolutely goofy!

Lol I would love to show him how its done right after I make him pop the hood! He's always been cocky as anything. I have been a martial artist for years. He thought he could grapple with me (when he lived by me) and i subbed him in like 30 sec. He thinks his s**t doesn't stink.

Only pic of his motor. Can anyone tell? It doesn't look like other SC'd GT's I've seen.
