Too bad it wasn't my car......

Drove a buddies Foxbody this weekend, 327 stroker with an "S" trim, C4, on 275 drag radials.

Wow talk about a different feeling than my manual trans on a much larger tire, this thing was so smooth out of the hole.

Not really sure what kind of power it is making... it is capable of 10.20's on the smaller pulley, I ran with the larger pulley only making 12 lbs of boost, on 16 lbs he has gone 10.22. If I had to guess on the 12 lb pulley 600-650, it is about a 3300 lb car as it still has stock K member, stock front suspension, stock seats, 5 pt roll bar and many other still factory weight components.

On the 16 lb pulley it has gone 1.46 60' on 275 DR's foot braking. My run was only a 1.60.

Trans brake, Anti roll bar and it has 9.XX's written all over it!!!

Don't know much about his suspension for exact details... I'm sure it has rear control arms but don't know if solid or poly bushings or what. I do know it is stock control arm locations, nothing crazy like relocated or TA/PHB.

I don't know.... even though it is a much faster car than mine with the auto it is so smooth and easy it doesn't seem as fast as it is. I will still go auto eventually either way.

After owning my first RMVB auto, I was done. It's the greatest thing evAr! Although my C5 had a manual, I'd much rather preferred a built auto. They're so easy.
