Sounds like it was pretty evenly matched to me both by cars and drivers.Atleast it seems like a 2-3 car length would make the differance between a high and mid 13 car would'nt it ?

Good run.. and good death. Not to bad for the mods...I have a buddy in town with similar mods and the GFs 1996 Auto LT1 lost by half a car to him... I don't even want to know how bad it would be against our white car... I would say you are a pretty good driver and your car responded well to the mods you have.

You have a plenum to go along with the T.B. ? They are not worth much by themselves but, are a good intake compliment mod. Gears would also be benefiacal 3.73, 3.90, 4.10.
In a article in 5.0 Mustang and Super Fords a 03 5speed GT made 244 RWHP with 2" Cherry Bombmufflers, CAI, T.B/Plenum, UDP's, and a DiabloSport. Just to give you an rough est.

Thats sounds good, UDP's were worth 5HP, 6TQ peak gains in the article I mention, but are worth atleat 2-5HPfrom 2500 RPMs up to 5200.
I agree with the gear choice, I personally, would not go any higher than 3.73 for a DD seeing hwy/open roads. The added performance ( a few tenths in 1/4 mile) from 4.10's are not worth the higher RPM's on the hwy , to me. If you on the street 99.99% of the time, thenyou don't want the unnessacry motor speed.

Ithink that was a pretty good showing againistthe LS1. Good driver mod.+

it's a lie...the faster you go against an LS1 the better chance you have of passing them...
