Default Loss to a notch

I made a couple pulls against a 5.0 notch on the highway. The lowest we did was a 3rd gear pull, and a couple 4th gear pulls. We maybe got up to top of 4th gear, and a couple into 5th down a slope. It sounded like he had an auto or gears, cam, headers and exhaust. My motor is all stock, just with an intake and exhaust pretty much. By the time we shut down he only had a car length TOPS on me..

He stayed behind me, and actually lives in my neighborhood, it was definitely a race cam. He complimented my car on the pulls, and it's pretty much stock. So it made me feel pretty good that a stock motor kept up plenty with a modded notch.

Just a little bit more time and money, and i'll have my mods..

Good runs... the problem with foxbodies is that you never know what they're packing

Fox Bodies, you have 2 kinds:

-Fast as **** track rats
-slow as ****

Overall, an awesome platform for drag racing.

Good death.
