...beatin up on Mustang GT's that is! First race in a while with my R/T and it was a pretty good one. I've been running a 91/100 oct mix because I can get 100 at the pump now, and man it loves it.
Last night I see/hear a loud 03-04 GT up ahead. Had some BIG tires out back and sounded mean. Figured it would be a good race. I hit a light with them, give the two kids a quick glance, then give them about 1/2 throttle when it went green so the can see I'm game. First run was from 2nd...I heard him hit it, so I did the same...no chance for them, I pulled the HARD. I was suprised! Next we go from around 3K in third (I know, 2nd would have been better) to about 6K and the same results, absolutly no contest. Pulled them like they were standing still! I actually wasn't sure they were trying, but they were!
At the next light both of them had the classic drop-jawed, WTF IS THAT! look. Priceless! They asked what it was I just said its a 91 Spirit, stock motor. They said yea but its turboed! I told them to look up Spirit R/T and they would understand. They then asked if it was any good from a stop. I said not on street tires, but we went anyway. Spinning through 2nd we were dead even. We gave each other a quick wave and went out seperate ways.
This was on about 15PSI I think (spikes to 19, drops down to 15) Stage 3 FWD Performance ECU and supporting hardware, Dual Super Coupe IC, 3" DP through 2.5" exhaust on 95 octane. Thats pretty much it. Nothing special at all. I was pleased with the results. :thumb:
Can't wait to get the Alky back on and mix that with a 50 shot of Zex...should be good for another 50WHP I'm thinkin, which will put me over 300WHP.
