Not sure honestly. First time any of us have met the guy, he's new to the group. I'll ask and see.
350 hung right with a 119-120 car before mods so ya.
For sure.
Have you driven one?
Troof. Should roll out even harder on corn.
Keeps having issues when he loads the tune from the nGauge. Last tune was for 8750 but it keeps ******* up and setting it to 8000. I tapped it last night at 8k and I could definitely tell it wanted more.
Should be around 480-490 wheel with cat deletes/e85. Said he's probably gonna do longtubes next then boost eventually, if he keeps it.

Go for a ride in one and go wot from a 10 mph roll.....you're going to be there a while lol
Since you made a jab at my car I will explain it for you.
I'm a stalled auto, I don't give a **** about low end torque at WOT because my car never sees below 6000 rpms at wot.
A gt 350 makes NO LOW END TORQUE.

We are talking about LOW END TORQUE.
It will see plenty of rpms below 6000 from a starting line or a slow roll on the street in the city from a random encounter. Lots of cars out there that would make it look goofy stop light to stop light.
Gt350 owner's: " Lets do a 120 mph roll "

I have driven a GT350, and can tell you it's less powerful than a stock LS1 F-body below 4000RPM. After that it feels strong, impressive actually for a naturally aspirated Ford.
I didn't get a chance to use the launch control, but in my short drive I couldn't find the sweet spot in getting it off the line. It either bogged really bad, or the tires went up in smoke (not my car, didn't want to ruin the clutch). Either way, it was exactly as reported, gutless at low RPM.
The sound, like an Eaton supercharger, was both annoying and addicting.
It's the V8 version of a Honda S2000.

I own a 14' 100 and also have driven a 350 (with my lady and another big guy as passengers).
At no point, did it feel "gutless". Not at 1k rpms not a 2k, 3k or so on.
There is no Eaton SC sound. Although the motor's sound was intoxicating (in a very good way).
As much as I like catfishes and LS motors, comparing it to a stock LS1 is plain silliness. Lol
The car was seriously impressive all the way around. Definitely a premium vehicle.
The only complaint I had (if any), would be that the recaros are made to fit lady-boys or teenage like men. The bolsters would dig right into your shoulders and thighs, making the seats very uncomfortable. My girl was comfy tho!
