Default My First Race

Headers are a pain in the butt to install. took me 3 days on my 05 GT/auto. Not sure how much i really got from it cause i still haven't tuned it yet. This 98 Body style mustang rev'd on me (and ofcourse i was looking for a race) so i followed him. He had some seriously wide tires loud exhaust and a tach almost the size of the steering wheel. We went down a side street and unfortunately we could not race from a dead start. We raced 2 times. The first time was at 45 mph to about 100. I lined up next to him at his bumper and waited for him to punch it. By the time i was at 100 i was more than a car. The second time the same thing only at about 60 to 120. I lined up alittle behind his bumper and waited for him to go. by the time i was at 120 i was more than a car maybe 2 ahead. I think he quit after that so i turned around and drove home. Just what i needed....

MODs- CAI from Ebay- BOOMz
Throttle Body spacer
Gutted out my cats with a hammer and a crow bar
Home made delete plates
Pace setter shorty headers
Flowmaster super 40s
Sniper tune- havent tuned it for headers and delete plates yet- car still works though
4:10 summit racing gears
18X9.5 Y2K cobra R rims with 285/35/18s for the hook-up
