for a fox to run with a new edge a fox needs some help, with your mods I would of thought you'd of done better.

That's why I asked in the first place.

If the car isn't tuned it could definitely be running under par, but your gears really give you the most advantage off the line.

i raced my friends 99 gt with just an o/r h... my mods are just intake and exhaust and possibly gears (sadly i don't know) but it was dead even till i hit the brakes once... and i beat him one other time.

I had AFR 165s, Eddie Performer 5.0, E-303, 4.30s, MAC Lts, o/h H, and flows and a new edge couldnt hold a candle to me. I was power shifting at 5500rpms. I would pull my friends 04 GT like now tomorrow, was dead even with my friends 99 Cobra that puts 330 to the wheels until, and would walk away from a 06 GT w/ exhaust and a CAI. All are stick cars. You should be beating that new edge.

yea a tune would help you out ALOT if the car isn't pulling like it should. i dont remember, did you have some 24lb injectors? the 19's MAY be cutting you short.

I will say if your car is not tuned that makes a huge difference.
