Yeah, because historically, getting a Mustang from 1979-2010 was not so much a "walk in the park". They've all been rated between 200-315 RWHP, unless you bought a special model. It took a little more than just bolt-ons to run 11's. The new 5.0L starts off with 100 more horsepower than the highest producing GT's in the last 30+ years.

715 HP from a 305 ci Chevy with just bolt-ons and no nitrous or forced induction? Is that even possible?
Please forgive my incredulity, but what kind of bolt-on mods can you put one a Chevy mouse that will take it into 700hp territory?

I finished reading the article, and I always thought the 1.14:1 4th gear ratio was a misprint. Since you guys have verified that it is indeed 1.14:1, I wonder why Ford did that to the 6R80? If the 4th gear were exactly 1:1, that would be less parts.
Anyway, grats on hitting the 11's goal you said in the mag that you were shooting for!
When you get the spray going, do post the vids for that!
EDIT: Nevermind, I saw your nitrous at the end of the vid! Grats on hitting the 10's

Thank you CJ, no that's my handy work, except for the motor which was done 90% by my friend Dave Giunta (Spyder Prep). The only thing 'chevy' left on the motor is the block (4 bolt main LS-6). Given that it is a completely forged bottom end (Calles / JE) I could have easily given it a 200-250 shot of 'laughing gas' if I had desired.
Tranny was a serious modded T-400, 4500 stall convert (AT), full manual valve body, custom drive shaft, beefy 1350 u-joints and yes filling out the rear..........a 9" Ford, 4.33 'spool' , I had a locker on it when it did spend some time on the street but the last couple of years it was campainged at the track thus the spool.
