I don't drive a stang, but it sounds good to me. There are quite a bit of suspension mods you can do to really get a good launch too. W/ that blown horse, you may want to start looking into that. Congrats. I can't wait to get my Vortec. Peace.

with street tires, you have to mess with it and find that sweet spot where it doesn't bog or spin the tires... start low in the rpms( 1500-2000rpms) and work your way up.. like dan had mentioned, if you have slicks or DR's, launch as high as you can...
