when I switched from 224 cam to ms4 on my t/a I only gained 2 tenths in 1/4.. I think its gonna be to close to call judging by the other video's. IMO

No race went down. The Camaro spun a rod bearing on the dyno. (we think) So now he is making plans to go with a big stupid built motor. 408+ CI.

I am excited and sad for him all at the same time.

A GN-X would show a good effort, but a stock regular GN would have almost no chance in a drag race, let alone handling contest. Great for what it is, it's no competition for most of todays "sports oriented" cars.
How did I miss this? Anyway let me say it like this, A stock GN with Bolt ons will smoke them!

I blew the motor in the 5.0 too. So it will be a little while before it is back on the street. But I am game with the new set up when it is complete in a month or so.

Tell me it wasn't #8 piston issue?

I also seen you had tranny issue. I did as well. Replaced and no issue yet.

Yeah. I had random missfire code on and off for about a month. Then one day it just stayed on.

Ford is covering it. But they did tell me that if ford engineer shows up to look at the car I might be paying for the motor out of pocket. Good thing he never did! I love my home town dealership hahaha! These service rep was like what the hell is the point of buying a car like this if you cant drive the **** out of it.

With the code on I still ran a 12.2@110 I think I could have clicked off an 11 second pass that run if it was running right hahaha.

yeah it has been gone a little over a month now. I have been driving a dodge avenger rental. I hope to see it done in a couple weeks. Ford said the motors are on back order.
