Default 99GT vs WS6

I did not spray as I wanted to know how I'd do against a stock LS1. His car was white with anodized blue rims and some matching moldings. I've seen these before and was thinking it was some type of package? Anyway my car made 301 NA the first time I went to the shop but recently I took it in and it only made 284rwhp? They said it was running rich and my plugs may be bad

So we ran from a first gear roll and I put about two cars on him through fourth gear. I figured I had a great chance of winning and am finally glad I got to run a stocker. Now I just need a retune!

Interesting,you pulled 2 cars on him and you dyno'd 284.....Well congrats on the kill. But i don't think the WS6 had a very good driver.
Only 1 race?

Anniversary Edition. There was around ~1600 of them made in 99 ... Nothing special performance wise, just a different paint scheme, rims, etc ... Kind of ugly IMO. (no offense to anyone who owns one)

Joe, if your car is tuned for spray, then won't it run rich when you don't use it? I picked up 12 hp just from leaning out my fuel.

I have a flip chip with a stock, NA, and nitrous tune. I found a nitrous leak recently and had them dyno it to check my air/fuel. For whatever reason it wasn't running good. Like they said, my plugs may be bad. I'm ordering a new cam monday and will be installing my direct port kit soon. Then I'll go back and get a retune.

I would still think that it takes a little time for the computer to adapt but then again I don't know how fords work. You should come by so that I can video the before and after of your cam swap.

I'd say high 12s NA and low on the gas. I ran a 12.60s 35th SS recently and pulled him pretty hard up top. I haven't been to the track yet but once I put my 150-200 shot and new cam, I'll be heading to the track. I want to run at Fun Ford and need to find out where to let out so I don't run 11s. I don't want to put a cage in my car.
