Default 2011 3.7 vs 2011 5.0 georgia grudge match both cars run 13s click to see who WINS!

So nealatthewheel and I cruised on down to steele bama otherwise known as little dega to run our 2011 stangs.
We ran a total of 8 passes down the good ole 1320. This was our first time running our cars since we got them.
His is a 11 5.0 w/corsas&3.73 gears otherwise stock, mine has 2.73 gears, jlt cai, dual pypes m80s mid mounted i'm running 93 like him. I've also got some super sticky yoko advans in a nice 275 width out back.
Anyways first pass after both driving over 137 miles nonstop to this track for me a 14.220@99.11mph 60ft of 2.294
tires at normal 35psi, shifting around 5500rpm launching at 3k or so.
Him not sure the launching rpm, I know he was shifting right at redline. Anyways he ran a stout 13.259@112.06mph cutting a 2.218-60ft. A couple more runs and I ripped off a 13.895@102.05 cut a 2.205-60ft, tire pressure lowered to 28psi, launching at 3k or so, again shifting closer to 6k crossed the line right at 5900rpm in 3'rd*gotta love those 2.73s* This was about an hr after our first two passes and we left our cars with the hoods up to cool them off a bit and of course we lowered our air pressure to 28psi as well before that run.
Well then we let em cool off after 3 total back-back runs for about 45mins and lowered the air pressure down to 25psi. Oh yeah all runs for me we're traction control on&don't laugh at my totally weak burnouts
Anyways back on track literally lol did a decent burn out staged pretty well cut a 2.074-60ft on my way to a 13.717@101.52mph this time shifting at 6K or a little over&still not hitting the rev limiter. Again crossing the finish line in 3'rd right at 6Krpm.
So pull around the wife hops in so ad 99lbs of weight. Weak *** burnout but cut my best 60ft of the day 2.055 en route to a back-back 13sec pass this time a 13.714@102.24mph.
Hot lapped it again and run a respectable 13.889@100.01mph, weak *** 2.165-60ft.
That did it for the day Oh yeah that 5.0 managed a stout 13.039@110.74 cutting a 2.068-60ft.
My first ever quarter mile past against a tree



This run my wife was in the car and if you look was a hot lap aswell as I ran a 13.7, 13.7&13.8 all within 30 minutes of each other

These are a couple of runs at atlanta dragway in commerce at their friday night street legal drags disappointed I didn't improve my ets allwell

It's like a fuzzy, punctuation-eating monster showed up and had his way with your post.

Hah my camera sucks&I just got back from driving 167 miles non stop&running my car for the first time not to mention my first time EVER running against a tree. Anyways the track we went to was in steele al I guess its called little dega they did an open test&tune session $25 for your car $10 per person for 5hrs. Anyways I'll go back and clean up some of the thread I believe several people already posted youtube vids of our runs. 1badz should have a couple up soon if not allready, my wife shot a vid of my 13.8 pass and my buddy is going to post it on youtube.

Didn't want to start a new thread so here's another couple vids of my runs last night at atlanta dragway in commerce during friday night street legal drags. Fun but I was really hoping to do better which I didn't surprisingly my first run after tech&lining up was my best a 13.93@101.3mph 2.1 60 ft. This time I was launching at 3500 rpm with the rear tires at 20psi.

Just an fyi but if anyone is interested I'll be at silver dollar raceway tonight for their friday night drags. Hoping with the cooler air&a few gallons of e85 in the tank to run a mid 13
This will be my last time running the car before I do the 3.73 gears&93race tune
