351 vs. 302

[Stang_ROTY]

None offense taken, man.

Honestly, I'm not beating her because I don't have a garage for when something goes boom. I shift anywhere between 5500-6000 but not much more. Remember, I still have the t-brake that I can hook up and some practicing to do. When I built the car I was shooting for a 12 second street car. I could rip out the seats and do other things to reduce weight but right noe I'm just trying to have fun, know what I mean?

I think the biggest thing is that I set up my car for street leagl. Although I have 393 cubes under the hood I'm using all 302 parts, heads, intake, etc. I went to the 351 becuase of the durability of the engine. I don't rev her too high....yet. Longtubes will help also.

I was just wondering. I know that you said that just finished your car and all, so maybe you are still breaking it in? I just thought that you should be getting better times than a 12.9 with your setup. Right now I run anywhere from a 12.54-12.68 with Nitto street legal drag radials. Just curious man, please don't take it the wrong way. I have nothing but respect for Mustangs and their drivers.
