Got Spanked
 
Dead gummit, we were in the wifes car (read signature) pulled up next to a LS1 about 60mph, I drop to 3rd, we punch, he leaves. Car feels real strong down low but up high it's nothing. Just thought I would share my pain. O, he pulled about 4 car lengths then we let off.:(

Yea but look at it this way,... you got two built cars and a family. In the big picture, I bet you won.:)

It also builds your case to have your wife let you build it even more.:D

Track times?
 
Any idea as to what the wifes car runs at the track? Just wondering?

Your not gonna beleive this, but we've never run it at the track. That doesn't mean we haven't tried though we are 0 for 4.

1st attempt- Radiator cap went bad on the way there, had to go get the truck and tow her home
2nd- They were closed but said they would be open on the internet
3rd- one of the aftermarket exhaust hangers broke on the way, had to turn around
4th- We had gotten there 5 minutes too late to enter any more cars to run that day.

It didn't just keep up, it left me there. I dunno, maybe I need more tuning, maybe a chip or something to tune the blower a little more. Yesterday the gauge read 10psi on a pull on the street, I guess cause the colder temp outside.

Not suprising modded LS1's trap 116+ mph all the time. From a roll they are killer.

Think she needs 3.73's. Yeap, definately the next thing.

Yep gears are a must on a stang. Looks like you got everything else covered though.

I tried to get my girlfriend a stang but I ended up having to buy her a 00' Beetle:rolleyes:

Yep. Heads, smaller blower pulley, larger crank pulley and a dyno tune!
