my engine was rebuilt in like october andi got a new motor which cost me like 3 grand

well yesterday i raced a friend with a bone stock 06 gt that has 300 hp and i belive is suppose to be faster then the 99-04 gts

i just put a zoom racing clucth in and have a steeda exhuast with k&N air and i removed the air silencer

other then that shes stock

he has an auto and when we raced from like 30mph to like 120 i pulled on him and beat him by like half a car

so im wondering could it be becuase my engine has been rebuilt or what? he was flooring it the whole time and ive been told i should loose to the s197 models

 

s 197s are a little bit heavyer than the new edge. but your a 5 speed was the 06 an auto ??? if so thats why.

 

yea...but shouldnt he have still won

all im wondering is if my built engine is better then the car b4 it was rebuilt

 

did you buy a forged internals engine with heads and cams?or just another stock 4.6 factory engine?

 

i belive just a stock 4.6

i seen somebodys sig and part of his mod list was built engine so i was thinkin maybe my engine was built too and it helps

im not sure....the car was my dads intill like 3 months ago and hes the one who had it done (But i paid for it)

 

if his was an auto and your a 5 speedand you started from a roll you would have a bigger advantage than him. what gear were you in at 120???? 4th?

 

yea

 

thats why you won autos have a disadvantage from a roll. it should be a real close race everytime.

 

built means all aftermarket internals with maybe different heads and cams than stock....

 

welli can hit 160 and im stock so could my engine be bulit
