I beat an auto GT by 1 to 1.5 cars each time from 70 to the top of 4th (05+ GT) and I gave it the hit each time.
I also lost by about 2.5 cars to a stock lightning but by 6K I had stopped his pull, just poor gear selection. I woulda lost by maybe 1 car or so had I gone 1 gear lower.
My 5.0 is okay from a roll.
Yes, its **** weak for its mods. I have no idea why. I still bet its mid 13's on slicks. my 14.4 was on a 2.15 60' with my vacuum carb that bogged.

Speaking of carb swaps and "lunch" *caugh* 750DP *caugh*
Yes, but I JUST! looked at that timeslip (to prove to someone that Supras are dyno-queens, as I had a Supra run me...13.2X@110.X
) and my 60' was a HORRID! 2.344 with a 14.62 compared to a 2.15 and a 14.44 with the other carb. I would say the carb helped a good bit. I just needed tires and some track-time under my belt.EDIT: the mechanical carb is a LOT more driveable (less bogging by far!). I trapped 97.8X vs. 98.54 with it.
PS. I will JUST! have gotten it all back in running order. I wish to coddle it some.

Just proves the point that the vacuum carb lets you get off the line better than the mechanical I guess. Trap speeds dont lie and I dont think it was more than a 1 mph change between the two carbs. Either way lunch to the winner....yay for me ( I hope).

Eh, the vacuum carb bogged really bad. I dumped the clutch and floored it off idle (literally) for that 2.15.

He knows the lunch comment was a complete joke. It would be all in fun. But, I should have said a tank of gas but the price of super is getting up there and I dont want to risk actually losing since his tank is much bigger than my fuel cell lol.
