Nice attempt at a cheap shot.

You’re associating age with experience. They don’t always go hand in hand.

What kind of mods do you have on your car? How many of them did you do yourself?

I completely removed the motor, transmission, rear-end, and suspension from my car (see updated sig) and upgraded or replaced just about every part. This is my 3rd mustang I’ve done this to.

How many AOD to 5-speed swaps have you done? I’ve done four.

How man H/C/I swaps have you done? I’ve done many?

How many nitrous installs have you done? I’ve done ten or eleven?

How many blower installs? I’ve done five.

I would say I know myself around a mustang pretty well.



Also how often do you race your car at the drag strip? My car is there a bare minimum of once a week, often times two.

And I ask you, have you ever see a set of E7 heads??? They flow a dismal 150cfm intake at .500 lift and 123 on the exhaust.

Oh the other hand GT-40P heads flow 195cfm intake and 142 exhaust at .500 lift.

I would say that 45cfm on the intake, and 19 cfm on the exhaust was worth some serious horsepower over the stock heads.

True the F-cam IS a mis-match, however it does more good than harm in this case. It's still going to make more power than the stock cam.

My car ran mid 13.5 @ 97 mph with only tires, gears, a shifter, a h-pipe, and roller rockers.

Suggesting that a car with much better heads, intake, cam, ignition, and a drag orientated suspension can only run mid 13's is crazy to say the least.

I'm not saying you can baby the car down the track can run 12's. You're going to have to launch it fairly hard and power shift it, but 12's should be easily attainable.

Do that and I'll show you a mid 12 second car.

I also try to refrain from arguing over the internet. I end up spending much of my time explaining things to amateurs such as yourself.


Have a nice day
