Default Yellow 05 vs Yellow 06

I was out with a couple guys plotting the course for our Orange County Mustang Cruise on Feb 17 (check it out in the 2005-2007 section), and raced one of the guys I was cruising with for fun. He is a member on here, but I won't name him.

His mods:
intake, pulleys, shorty headers, off road x, flows, 4.10s, better rubber than me and smaller wheels, and some other little things, plug-in tune

my mods:
full bolt-on plus dyno tune. stereo was not in, but I was rolling on my 20s

We went from a 40mph roll the first time, up to about 130. He refused to jump first, and wanted to go as soon as I hit it. I instantly jumped half a car because he gave me the jump, and pulled pretty hard, finishing about 4 car lengths ahead.

The second run was immediately after slowing down, but this time we jumped *closer* to the same time. He held almost next to me for a second or two, but I decided to power shift this run, and as soon as the 2-3 shift came, I jumpedfrom a half car lead to a 3/4 length lead and kept pulling. I let off at around 110 with 2-2.5 cars of distance between our front bumpers.

Later on in the day we raced from a light. I slipped from 4k, and he dropped from about 2.5k. Needless to say, I was over a car ahead after first. I let off at about 110 again, with him about 5 car lengths back.

That's because yellow is the faster color.

SHUSH you! I'm trying to convince him to see how much of a gain he'll get from a dyno tune.
