I just assumed you were down under since summer here is winter there. Sounds like you guys got a nice track now though. Post up some times when you get them I'm curious to see what you'll get. Should be pretty stout.

With drag radials and some cool weather I am hoping for something in the 11's. I have the suspension dialed in now so I am hoping to launch nice. I will definitly post when I run. One of my best buddies has an 01 catfish with a 383 turbo 350 and a 300 hundred shot. He has gone 10.90's on motor. Thats what I am eventually shooting for.

I don't see any problem with you getting into the 11's. Good luck man.

and your infamous 4.6V8?

sorry forgot they made a V8 that size for the girls and little kids

yep....he'd drag your *** Manny...LOL

Newskool - I guarantee with traction, you'll see high 11s. I'm guessing 11.6-11.8. Stall/4.10s/DRs/suspension/440+rwhp....EASY high 11s once you get the feel for her.

Yep...a little 281 ci that will hang with your 350/346ci. AND, we sound better doing it.

good deaths. You can make respectable times out of a bolt-on n/a 4v. Just got to do the right bolt-ons.... and no a blower is not a bolt-on.

Thanks Pony I didn't want to justify that comment with an answer.lol. By the way Stop, if your the same stopsign thats on M1R than your car supercharged won't crack a 13, the way it's running.

No problem......Stop knows Machs have 3.55s. I think he just misunderstood your post. ALso, his GF has an M5 mach, so he's probably not familiar with Autos power, or noticed you had an Auto.

He is the same Stop. I haven't been on teh reg in a while though, so IDK what's going on with his Cobra.

I could run a 13 going in reverse. The part throttle driveability issue I am trying to iron out has nothing at all to do with the car's ability to go WOT.

typical. the only 4.6L i have ever seen NA put down any type of good number or time was on Horsepower TV and they cammed it and it made something like 450hp which is respectable i totally agree, but then again all the work they did to it was like ummm lets say 15-20k.

so i'll stick with my 5k NA car and ill break that number to pieces in time
