yea I made 397 on a Mustang Dyno. My issue is going to be the 60 foot, I am running some stiff springs and shocks and torque arm, but I figure I am lighter. I am sure you will out launch me, but I might catch ya on the big end. I am also looking to do a meth kit over the winter, or convert it over to E85.

I guess we would have to use drag radials. Street tires are worthless, even with the AODE and 95 degree heat. When boost kicks in, bye bye traction. 60 mph and the tires break loose= not fun! I wonder how bad it will be in the cooler months? What are your gears again? I have 4:10's and can't go any faster than the quarter b4 running out of gear. Meth will be good for my car especially with 15psi and 18 degrees timing. Gonna bump up the timing a few more degrees(with meth) and see where that takes me.

I have 3.73's and top out 4th at like 130 mph. Traction on street tires is non-exsistant for me until 3rd gear and even then it gets a little loose at the top of 3rd. I really am thinking of doing the E85 switch. All I really need a bigger injectors and a larger fuel pump.
