I plan to mount it right in front of the back bumper, most weight leverage. So I guess I should buy a shut off switch so im NHRA legal?

Finally some excitement tonight!!! Decided to take the highway home since there are 3 stop lights that way, well the last stop light, i spot a mustang GT with a white stripe, 06-07, its a 6 speed, i get closer and realize who it is. It has magnaflow exhaust, intake, and a chip. well i dont make it b4 the light turns green, but i get next to him at 50, he nails it, so I nail it, we are side by side till 100, then i let out and get behind him so we can yield onto the highway, which is 2 lanes wide. i get up next to him again, with OD off, at about 75mph, he downshifts and we both nail it at the same time, we are side by side, my speedo is buried, I'm at the top of 3rd so i shift to overdrive, i get detonation and it felt like I hit a 50mph wind, so i let out of it, but i was impressed. I didnt have the best gas, but still, i'm happy for that outcome. I know from a dig, with my slicks, and some torco, it would have been murder in the 1/4

yeh but is that his best time or his average?

cause the record for a stock mustang GT of 99-04 body is a 13.6 at 100 bone stock took him 29 passes before he set that record. the vid is on streetfire still i think

he only ran once. I beat my friends 01 from 50-90 a lot worse than this one, so i'm still saying around a 13 flat is what ill run, a 12.9 would be nice.... Racing him from a dig, i just kill him

HI!... No problems here. Been going 6500RPM 3rd gear to O/D upshifts for over 5 years with no problems. But I have a race built trans (4R70-W). Been up to 5500 rpm in O/D on top speed runs.

Ok so now I have a problem... Have not had time to look at it, just a visual inspection under the hood. All was fine last night racing that mustang, but this morning i was headed into town, and a slow car needed passed, so i push the pedal about half way down and it falls on its face, just like i turned the key off, i let off and it comes back to life. It will cut out just like i turned the key off anything past 6lbs of boost, under that, it runs as good as ever. In neutral, i rev it up, and it cuts out too.... Sounds like a fuel restriction to me, but im not sure. the pump sounds fine by turning the key. I guess ill go hook my fuel pressure gauge up to it tomorrow and see what its doing when i rev it.
