To OP: if the beating was as bad as described, the Roush never went anywhere near WOT. Are you calling a 274 advertised duration cam mild?

Actually 418/393 from a mild cammed 302 is near impossible, and certainly not with the parts he's claiming. TF heads on a mild cammed 302 would struggle to hit 318, much less 418. He's probably got at least a 347.

what's so hard to believe he killed a saleen that weighs more, has worse gears and probably ~150less rwhp.

Its a MILD 331cid stroker with a camshaft that is more suited for a 302cid motor. Look at it anyway you want but truth is this cam is an extremely mild cam for any SBF stroker. Most people put this cam in notched pistoned 302s and 306s.
I beat him as bad as I said, no exaggerations at all. I short shifted 3rd gear @ 6,000rpms and gave 4th gear alittle pull. However you want to slice it I went from around 45mph to 80mph when I looked down. In my rear view mirror he looked like a little spec and if I had to guess I would say he was 1/8th a mile back atleast. Maybe he gave up really fast. Don't know don't care.

3 things:
1.) you use a ridiculous amount of smileys, but it was actually a good block of words.
2.) lets HEAR the car. got any vids of that?
3.) a mustang cannot kill another mustang, thats like dividing by zero, both will end the world. nothing can beat a mustang, so the world just implodes when they race.

Just curious:
http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co...t_4/index.html
331"
Trick Flow heads (not CNC, but not a huge difference)
near identical 224/232 cam
Trick Flow R intake
long tube headers
You made more power at the wheels than they did at the crank?
