Cool

Fuel injection seems to run best when it is a factory engine with factory cam, factory intakes and factory tuned. You can do alot to make more hp, like extrude honing the heads and intake runners, improving the quality, and of the fuel pressure, running larger MAS to get better high rpm power.

But if I take that same engine, with a racing cam, a tunnel port intake, dual holleys, and a proper exhaust and distributor curve, I can make 650 horsepower from a stroked small block.

I have yet to see any FI system make 650 hp without NOS, Turbo or Super Charger. Now could someone do it, of course they could. But at the cash flow to accomplish this I could build two naturally aspirated engines.

That is my only point.

My son is really, really lucky to be getting this Mustang. It corners really well, it is perfectly balanced for street racing, canyon racing, and autocross.

Hopefully he will keep it a 12 second screamer, cause that is what this car is intended for. Street Dominance.

You should see the dual turbo charged Supra's owner when I pulled away from him to 80. HE WAS PISSED. I did the same thing to several 911's and a 928 S. I love stompin out the guts of the M3 BMW's out there. My greatest pleasure in life is to stomp on the Camaro and Corvette Crowd. Only a Z06 has me beat, and not if I hole shot him.

So my son is driving a car that can go zero to death in 10 seconds flat.

So keep it safe and race on the tracks and drag strips, where at least you know grandma will not be pulling out in front of you going 85 miles per hour.
