Default Sprayed 5.0 and Gran National....killed

I went to a local race spot and ran a hatch 5.0 with bolt ons and a 150shot. The spot is kinda short prob just over an 1/8mile. The first run i had him by about 1/2 a car at the end. 2nd run i missed 2nd gear due to extremely heavy fishtailing. 3rd run i had him by 1/2 a car but he said he was pulling up on me at the end. These runs i had 33psi in my nittos i forgot to drop the pressure i spun like a ****.

Second race was a 87GN with a full rebuilt motor and larger turbo dunno exact size. Has heads and cam in it also from what they told me. Methenal injection also. First run pulled him by like 1 car and the second run he got me by 1 car me bogging bad at the light.Kid was only running 15lbs of boost he said when he should be at 20 i believe he was sayin.

I have vids of both races except 1 is on a camera phone and the mustang one is on my buddies video cam ive never hosted a vid so i will see if he can send it to me and maybe i can get in on here.

20psi is still relatively low boost for a GN, and the stock heads are good to make a ton of power, the guy probably just had the stockers ported a bit.
