you guys always race in heavy traffic? I dont know, 90% of your vid was a close up of the side mirror and the rest wasnt much to see. Make another one, have half the vid in car, and half from filming outside the car along side the road. You cant here much over the music also.

yeah thats exactly what it means there was no music in the race from a dig and i didnt hook til mid 2nd gear and he deadhooked,after i got traction i drove away....and he weights alot less as well.Oh well it was my first attempt at a vid,and i had just finished the car as well so still learning how to drive it all over again.we'll see how the rematch works out,lol

well if u noticed the TA had absolutley no traction from a dig till 3rd, and when they got the car tuned a couple of days prior they were having trouble holding boost so it was just spiking and then loosing power so now that we have the boost issue fixed im sure the race will be a little diff. next time.

either way though that mustang was quick for what it was.

Ordering up a new turbo once I get the cash from the sale of the two that I had....hopefully then i'll be happy and do something with the car. I shoulda tested the T70 out but I wanted to jump on Jose's new turbo while I can...signed on a new house so the car budget will dry up soon.

Vipers? I was smacking those things around with a stall, cam and bolt-ons...and drag radials

Go to the track and test it out there, should be some fast cars to run.
Keep the wheels down and the boost up...
