I'm sure weighing will be 'close', but that depends on what one thinks is close. Personally, I would look into a swap and do a stage 4 port.

You have alot to learn....Honest.

Racing a guy on the street that has ran a 12.8x has NOTHING to do with what your car runs. That is RICER talk/mentality. That won't go very long around here.

LOOK, I've said it before, I'll say it again, GET A CUSTOM TUNE for YOUR car and THEN take it to the track.
This race is going to be from a dig. On a road that has been premeasured for the quarter mile. the reason we choose to do these style races is because the nearest 1/4 mile track is about 4 to 5 hours from our location. So if the guys car is really suppose to be running in the mid to high 12s it should give me a pretty good idea as to where i stand right now. im not arguing with you. i would love to take my car to the track and run there to get real times. But im not going to drive 4-5 hours to do so. i will wait on the track thats only 30 minutes from our area to go to the track when it finally opens back up if it ever does. yea i have a lot to learn about cars thats true.

I almost **** when i read this, and yea OP Cunfuzed [scott] is a grumpy old guy

check out the shitty luck he's been having with his wifes Hellblazer they are talkin about.

Otherwise he's a pretty funny guy, dont mind him.

and for anything Ford i'd listen to Mike [ponygt65] he knows his ****, schooled more then a couple GM guys around here Carl [newskoolmach] seems to know what he's doing too along with Cory [Corysmach]

just look at some of their numbers and you can tell they know how to set those 4V's up.

Do post a vid of the 12.8 mustang GT you plan on running i'd be interested to see how you fair again him after the re-tune and DR's.

Dude don't waste your time with a twin screw get one of these Prochargers.



An F3R, so big it needs to run directly off the crank. The car went 6.86 at 196 with a pushrod small block Ford.

YOu don't get it. ETs at a track are TOTALLY DIFFERENT than racing on teh street. That's why ricers are laughed at when they do that. It's a total guessing game and it does NOT give you an idea of what your car can do because you don't know what HIS car will run when you race him, because you're not ona track.

Look, you want to continue this Ricer lame crap, that's up to you.....but don't say I didn't mention anything before you get blasted and made fun of. And yes, I will be one of those that do that. Welcome to ricerhood. How's that tornado doing? Did you hook up the second one yet?

Oh and seriously....WTF were you thinking using someone elses tune and installing SHORTIES of all headers let alone AFTER you had LTs on? SHeesh....I hope you strape on your thick skin. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

I've been nice lately.

He had his chance though...in fact, this is twice I've been down this road, but he don't wanna listen. Stang owner or not..IDC - rice/ignorance it's all the same to me.

Depends on his state smog laws.

Who knows....I don't think he knows what he's doing so there's no way for us to know.
