My point is he isn't getting it done on a stock engine like I am. Wow a SC on 10lbs boost, stock headers, stock suspension, stock tranny. And I still weigh more right now. Compared to a engine swapped 429 cu in. Lots weight reduction car. Out ET/trapped him. So shows at the track and on the street he will lose. Now he has put a plate kit on so who knows.
where are all the VA racers at dammit

we should get together for some pulls. i just put headers on the car. 99 car - lid, headers, 80 series weld in. still stock everything else. i'd like to see if i could hang with a cammed mach. but please let's go faster than 50...in all honesty i'm still spinning at that point. gotta love those all seasons.
plus i want to see if my buddy's tuning is worth a **** or not. we can do a before and after haha.

That's what I'm saying. You brought up the fact that he needed to go with big cubes to get where he got. GM guys don't bring that stuff up when they lose. They bring that stuff up when someone tries to make the "you use more cubes" or "I made more power on less cubes" argument. Chevy small blocks use a simple method to make power. Minimal valves, 1 cam and some decent cubes. HP/L, which is usually the basis of the ford cubic inch argument, means nothing and gets you nowhere, especially when FI comes into play. (Unless you are in a CI restricted racing class).
Uh, They don't?....since when??1,ooo,ooo!!!!

on what side of town is your commute? i basically only drive my car back & forth to work, as well. i work weird hours and take back roads, i don't see many cars. usually going in to work i don't see any cars, period. going home...it's a crapshoot, i don't have a consistent schedule.

There are good gains to be made with ported heads but if you have to pick between the heads and the intake the intake definitely needs work.

the heads do flow great but to say people don't port them is dumb. The majority of NA guys don't port them is because they never go beyond boltons and you really don't need to with FI unless you're trying to gain every ounce of power.

I'm not about to read thru every post in this thread. I just want to say nice kill. Being an ex owner of 3 different Machs, I know full well what they can and cannot do. I've done plenty of 12.9 passes at 110 mph with nothing more than 4.10 gears and an ORX. I have also ran a couple new stock Maros with no problems pulling them. It comes down to a lot more than what they print in magazines, but not everyone gets that.
