Well... whats a 91 notch? You mean a Mustang LX 5.0? 306 heads? or did you mean .030" overbored 302?
Your car should be running low 12's with no weight loss mods. A full GT40 equiped 5.0 (heads, cam, headers, exhaust, intake manifold, CAI, 3.73 gears) would still get its azz handed to him by your setup. Heck, I raced a '90 GT with all those mods I just listed AND running a Paxton at 6psi and I still pulled him from 15mph to 110mph. (15mph because he had traction issues, but I wanted a dig, so we settled). I havent been to the track yet, but with my mods past experience says I should be 12.8 to 13.0 @ 110mph.

but yeah...he does say a tune somewhere in that list of mods and nick nacs.

That's an easy guess! However, my brother has a 400 cu.in. set up going on his 89' Hatch soon. When its all said and done, he is going to pass it off as the same punched- over 302!! Only those ford guys will really know the difference, so, watch out for their tricks. Ford owners will do ANYTHING to put a good spankin' on any LS powered vehicle. (that includes my brother) He's secretly building it so that nobody will suspect. It's going to be fairly loud, so his gameplan will involve the claim that it simply has a larger cam and some head work. Who will know but the wiser? If he's really confident, look out, he just might have something up his sleeve.

Hey Ponygt65, I got one for you: I raced a guy who had a late 00's Mustang GT striped up with "GT350", with a shaker style hood scoop and different rims. Speed wise it appeared to be no different than a regular mustang GT though, and alot of guys called BS saying that Saleen never made a GT350 package for the Mustangs. Saleen's website mentioned it as a $1800 sticker and wheel upgrade; Motor Trend article talked about it being a engine upgrade to 320hp. Which is it? I've only seen it that once, it was red with white stripes, with white "GT 350" across the rocker area just like the GT500.

Do you have a link that backs up Saleen having a "GT350" package? I can't imagine that even being a possiblity because Saleens packages are "S" (S281, S281SC, S281E) and the GT350 was a copywrite of Shelby which is why Ford had to pay $$$ back in 1984.5 when they released the GT350 foxbody after CS sued them.
Anybody seen Steve Saleens knock off of the now defunct Techno Supercharger?

BS threads are rare and they are NOT about Street Kills. It is simply to talk about BS and shoot the shet. Be respectful though, all I ask.
Wow, you guys are a blast, keep it down in here.
I would like to get your ideas on this repeating pattern of behaviour..
I sold my KB Cobra, then 6 months later, I wanted another one. I bought a mint 2002 SS and had it for 2 months and sold it. Then I bought my 1st C6 (2006 A6) and modded the hell out of it...everything....then sold it because I never drove it. Now I miss it, or atleast KNOWING it's there even if I did'nt drive it, that's what I think it is really. When we see all these mods, kills and new products and killer dyno numbers and times, I want to jump right back into it. Maybe I'm just getting older (34) I don't know. Next car I buy, I will just keep it for a minimum of 24 months I guess, just in case.
I wanted a C6Z but I have changed my mind. Now I am confused on another built KB Cobra for $20-22K and a perfect mint LS3 C6 for $33,500.
The point is....WTF do we go through these cycles or is it just me?
I am surprised that I am still married. Atleast my credit score shot up 100 points with all the paid off loans.

Seriously though..as long as you are smart with it, and it doesn't cause marital issues, why not? I'd go for a TT Cobra. You haven't had one of those yet.
Ive yet to finish or sell a project, i always total them. Vehicle wise though, after every insurance paycheck, its always an upgrade or something totally different but cool. A 77 chevy truck, a CBR600, a hard loaded z71 suburban, now a 98 z28. my camaro has recently stepped into the winners circle for most mods of any vehicle ive owned though.
I agree with ponygt65, long as no lady problems or massive depts, go for it.
jay how bout something wild an out, like a silverado 2500 with the 8.1L and stick a big *** roots type on top? all the drivetrain and suspension can already handle the power lots of interior space and a place to put another toy( 4 wheeler, jet ski, etc)
