Default Finally!

I went back home to TX for a week and a lot of my friends have been wanting to race this guy in a 347 stroker mustang. 2nd night i was there we went to a favorite spot to run. Well the first run i spun out to much and he had a jump on me and i couldn't reel him in. So lost that one and made myself look like an ***. So i asked him for a 2nd run and this time let some pressure off the tires. This time hooked and i had the jump on him and i was a 1/2 a car on him the whole time. I couldn't pull away from him, but it was the best race I ever had.

Nice job, those 331s and 347s are no joke since they usually get heads that can actually feed those cubes up top. And he probably weighs 3K or so. Very nice kill.


I love the quote in your sig. Unfortunately it doesnt work so well for electronics LOL.

Thanks for the compliment. Too bad. I was having doubts that I wasn't going to beat him.

I just talked to mustang guy and he said he wants to race again when i come visit. I was thinking of going w/ a new h/c setup. He wants to race n/a and his pretty much done w/ his motor unless he goes w/ different motor which i don't think he will. Should I just keep my current setup and race him again. I still have a few things I can add.

If he wants to race again, then you can bet he is adding something (spray?). Just be prepared....

He would want to race N/A. His already had bad experiences w/ N2O. He has all of his suspension, 4.10s, skinnies and et streets. He said he runs 7.5 in the 1/8mi. I'm very happy that i beat him with the setup I have.
