Oh no, he is bone stock. 99.99% sure of it unless he has been by our local Stang shop for a tune, in which case he needs some driving lessons, lol

I'm thinking a 5.0 with an intake and a good tune should be even with me from a roll assuming everyone is starting out in the right gear?

Nice runs Stone! A new 5-oh would need another bolton or 2 and a tire (maybe) to stay in front of that SS!

Thanks, Crash. Been meaning to ask you since you're from the Bay Area. I watch a lot of street race vids on youtube by "bayarearacing". Looks like they are down by a port running or something. You know anything about it?

Gotcha, I understand completely. Maybe we can put together another track day and get him out there then.

Yep, I'd say that guy is a slight gear head. I think I saw a pic of that Boss on FB when you guys all hit the track. He just needs an LS1 in that collection to make it complete! Don't tell him I said that, lol.

I'd love to run a few 5.0s with different mods just to see. Just going off what I've read, etc, looks like a tune should put one pretty close to me up top. I'm thinking if you threw an X-pipe, intake, and a tune on one, it should be in the 115-117 range, which is out of my range for sure. Nothing a small cam wouldn't take care of..

Stout SS you got stone. What do Stock SS's of your year generally run and trap? Im wondering if I stand a chance against one.

106-109 stock fwiw.. They are all over the place. My Z28 trapped 108.59 bone stock as a best in good air.
