are you auto? If so, get a stall converter (3200-3800 or whatever suits you) , LCAs w/ reloc. brackets, and a sticky tire.

Luke don't feel that bad....it was a really close race. Anyways that Mustang only ran an 8.4 that's dissapointing for all that **** his car has. When I was spectating the race....the guy you raced friend's were standing right next to me....so when the race took place and he barely beat you....they started celebrating and saying "yes he got him" then I asked the guy...."what does the mach 1 have?" He said full bolt ons, pulley, tune and was on drag radials....I laughed and said "why is he running low times?" Hahahaha....I could tell the dude got mad, but I had my big homie aka Bodyguard with me....so they were intimidated to even look at me wrong.....**** was funny...true story.
