Looking forward to the results but I think the answer to your question is an easy one...you made the right decision.

from a dig i'd say the 5.0 might get you. from a roll I'll give it to the TA

that TA is heavy, mine is 3500 with driver and I am 200 pounds.

Weight is less of a factor as the speed goes up..

ChocoTaco369

by today's standards, that's a light car

01MMMZ28

the t/a has 60rwhp (approx) on the mustang, unless you cannot drive worth a crap, the t/a will own the stang.

All weights verified by D.O.T scales. I am leaving now to pick the car and my dad up (car is 60 miles away, dont expect a reply for 2 hours). Mentioned it again to my dad and he didnt say anything...usually means yes STILL ON!

Keep us posted, I'm almost positive that your WS6 will get it pretty good. Especially from a roll race like that. Y'all should go from a lower roll, or a dig, then it will be a better run, cuz a 50 roll seems high to me.

Big +1.
It needs rehab......drive it easy for a few days to make sure its all good. Then beat the heck out of it.

When I got my car back from fuel pump surgery I went down the street and filled her up and was out of the gas station sideways.

Your WS6 is likely (almost positively) making 65 more rwhp at least. And from the weights you posted, the stang might have a 200lb weight advantage at most. As stated above, unless you can't drive worth a ****, you will kill your stang.

I've been in my share of built 5.0s. The power in those motors comes on in a totally different way than an LS1. A 5.0 with a setup like yours will pull hard on the bottom end of each gear. The LS1 is exactly opposite, the bottom of each gear will be weaker and it'll pull harder and harder all the way till redline. Assuming your stang was making 40-50 more HP at the wheels it would be a closer race, but with numbers like that, the stang can't even use it's low end range advantage over you because it isn't making enough power to have a low end advantage. I think you mentioned before that your stang trapped 98mph, correct? If so, your WS6 is likely trapping 106ish mph if you can drive..... so you do the math.

Point being, you're going to kick that old stang in the *** like a bad habit.
