maybe it was poorly maintained, or the guy could not drive, it was a 4.6 wasn't it? I love the 5.0.

That's a nice list of mods you got there. But why did you think you were going to get destroyed?

They do sound beastly, but you are also lighter (not sure by how much) plus you have more than full exhaust (TB, buncha deletes, intake, MAF, injectors, other smaller mods).

Does your buddy have a gear? If not, toss a 3.73 or 4.10 in there then race again
