boosted mustang kill Had a good run last night, a bunch of friends and i go bowling every thursday cuz the place where i live has dollar bowling and a bunch of drink specials so its a good time. A buddy that always goes has a 99 GT 2v with the 5 speed, a spec clutch, headers, full exhaust, and a vortech pushing 10psi, and a tune. My car is a 95 z28 m6 with some work done to it, and we have both riden in eachothers cars but never raced them. I finally have my new clutch broken in so last night when we were leaving we were fooling around a little. finally had a chance where its a 4 lane country road and there were no cars in sight so we lined up and went from a 40 roll. i had expected to beat him from a dig and him to beat me from a roll, but that was not the case. we honked it off and hit it and i instantly launched about a car ahead of him and by the time i let off at the end of third gear (road narrows to 2 lanes) i had pulled out to about 2 cars on him and was steadily still pulling away. Now i can't wait to get both cars to the track so i can see what i can do to him from a dig with good traction

Nice Kill OP. Do you happen to know what kind of power that stang makes. If I had to guess he has 375+rwhp. You must have one strong LT1 there. I saw you said I have some work done, but details would be nice.

Thanks guys, yea he says he should be somwhere between 375 and 400rwhp which seems believable to me. My car is bored to 355ci stock crank polished, forged rods, forged pistons, heads milled .010, gm847 cam, pro mag 1.6 rollers, beehive springs, svo 30lbers. CAI, ceramic long tubes, no cats, true duals with x-pipe, sweet thunders, mail order tune running rich (need to get it on a dyno for a real tune) t56 with heavy duty rebuild, spec 3+ clutch with spec billet steel flywheel, 3:73 with torsen locker, UMI 3 point SFC's, UMI tubular adjustable LCA's and PHB. My biggest disadvantage is that he has some nice sticky tires and my car has 315/35-17 sumitomo junk that are bald, so a second and sometimes even a third gear hit done to high in the RPM range just results in tire spin. sujomatt you obviously haven't riden in a well sorted out LT1 power car because they can be far from slow.

thanks guys, yea i absolutely love the LT1, i would also love to own an LS1 too. i think if anything ever goes catastrophically wrong with my car i would probably build an lq4 or lq9 and convert it. i think that setup would be fun because people don't expect that in an early 4th gen, plus in WI where i live 95 and older does not have to be emissions compliant so i can do whatever i want to it without uncle sam slapping me on the wrist

hey, thanks guys, it does run nice, i haven't had it to the track yet so i don't know what it will do for times, but with a good set of tires i would really like to hit low 12's or high 11's. I could be way off on my hopes though, not sure.
