Track numbers dont mean much to me, to be honest. Track is track and the street is the street. 2 different beasts.

So far, out in real world conditions (street), my car has shown how the camaro ss and 5.0 stang are very competitive when similarly modded.

More modded bro, lost to a less modded 5th gen...

Cars are competitive bro, just accept, itll be alright!

For reference, a catback, CAI, and tune Ceta a4 ran 13.4@104 the same day I ran 12.2@114

What I got the most enjoyment out of, was when he stated that a rockers swap was worth just as much gain as cam swap!!!... Aaaahahahahaha!

Im a shitty driver myself... so I guess that theory cancels out... lol

Same deal with bambinos... same thing with phils... and many others, that dont frequent forums...

5th gen ss and 5.0 gts are competitive.

That's kind of like how Marc thinks that higher ratio rockers and stiffer valve springs are "head work".

Mystic just defied physics. You shouldn't have sold it
