Yep, girls in Mustangs..

My car runs strong but I wish she ran like she used to. I'm working on it though. Something tells me I'm about 7/10 hp off my best right now. I'm hoping the headers help.

I looked at a dyno run of the 2001 and could see the power is made fairly similar to my car but with a little more torque at peak. BUT at 6000 rpm or so, the power falls off the 2001 faster than mine probably because of my mods but the stock 2001 power drops like a rock after 6500rpm compared to mine. There was a 40+hp difference under the curve to 7000 rpm. This is where I won the race(i'm sure gearing helped) and probably most of mine. The funny thing that people get caught up in is peak HP. In my same dyno comparison, I only had maybe 9 peak hp more than the 2001. More proof that races are won under the curve and not just peak hp.
