Odd race result
I finally got to race another 5.0 that runs around here. It has intake, cat-back, and Bama tune. It is a premium with 3.73. My car is a base with 3.31 and just SCT strategy tune. We made 3 pulls from 60 in 3rd and i pulled on him each time. only got to about 100. I feel he would pull me in the top, but i am amazed that with his parts and gears i was able to beat him.

It is entirely possible that you just have a very strong car, I raced my buddies 99 Cobra when he had 4.10s and I had 3.55's and we were even the whole way even though he is supposed to have more power from the factory. I also went to the dyno and the guy tuning my car told me a intake and tune S197 Bullitt came in and put 310 to the wheels. Track it and see what it runs.
