Lol these guys. The dynamic duo. One stop shop top level bolt ons and they'll give you a reach around.

I'm sure there are plenty of Ford guys who could have swapped their motors to go faster like Doug did as well.
Well than you can't hate one hio's setup. Nobody hates on a stripped down foxbody lol you couldn't take a 2v/3v mustang gt and do bolt on and weight reduction and run what hio runs

I don't hate on his setup at all. Him acting as if his setup is the norm is what I dislike. 15+ years of re-engineering a car is not exactly an easy process.

Good point. You almost have to wonder how much longer car manufacturers can continue to increase Hp/Trq in order to entice people and increase sales. If this continues, will your average grocery getter come with 350hp? Something has to give soon.

It hurts it really does. When your sitting at a red light and there is a 5.bro next to you but he hears the cam lope and immediately throws his blinker on. Brings me to tears every time

Hard to say if a cam would have been enough. Good cam, a fast intake and some weight reduction might be enough though, who knows.

They aren't needed. Mod motor cars have been in the 6's with stock blocks and heads.
