I ran a 5.0 mustang GT the other day at a local street racing spot. He was running skinnies in the front other than that I didn't know what else he had. We both did burn outs and the guy lined us up. I spun a little but it grabbed and I put maybe 3-4 four cars on him. Its was a pretty easy race.

I haven't started a topic or replied on this section in a long time.

 

good kill....with the 350 TPI you have you shouldn't have problems with most of those mustang 5.0s.

 

:hail: L98
Sweet Kill always good to see a Third Gen beat the 5.0 Fox Bodies.

 

You kno somthin....... thats why GM made the big brother of the V6 and 305s which is the L98 350 TPI! U kno i have a 350 L98 TPI as well and u just gotta love em! Right Z28z??? Just feelin the Torque goin threw you....... Man congrats and u made my day by hearing another L98 spankin a 5 ohhhh or i should say 4.9

 

Good kill, nice to see a change and have a GM beat a Mustang for once, LOL!

Im sure he had some mods as no Mustangs are stock!

 

I like torque!! Man if my LB9 made as much TQ as the L98 I'd be in business. Not too say it doesn't make a decent amount!

 

Look out for the 5.0 5-Speed fox bodies there quick little buggers. They will fight an L98 to the end stock vs. stock if they can shift.

 

If you shift a l98 at the right time they run well. Buddy ran a 8.7 in the 1/8th with headers and lca relocation brackets. Another buddy ran a 8.9 in a 91 GT 5 speed with bbk headers, off-road h-pipe, flows, 3.73s and a k&n....

Anything can happen.

 

I'll give you a hint why I beat the 5.0, I run a 1.7 60 ft. Not the best but good enough to get alot of cars off the line.

 

Do you have full slicks? DR's? How in the world do you get a 1.7 60 foot,?

 

Yeh really a 1.7 is a neck snapping time you must be deep into the 13's with a 60ft time like that. My friends 04 GT ran a 14.1 with a 2.2 60 ft. What do you have done to your car?

 

Are you pulling 1.7 60 fts with you're street setup or track setup?

 

This is true..

 

Sorry guys for the late reply. For some reason I wasn't getting any email notifications of the replies.
To answer the question I run the same setup on the street as I do on the track. I'm really tryin to keep it a true street strip car.

 

I run BFG Drag radials on my factory 16s

 

What do you run in the 1/4?

 

Last time at the track I ran a 12.9@104 (n/a )
