Mine only makes around 180 right now and I believe I said 225 above, reading > you. If you spend enough time talking to mustang guys you'll hear about cars like I described. The magical power of a V8 is obviously something you don't understand, I could care less if you are impressed, if I really wanted to impress people I drop in a built 460 with an 8-71 on it and a 9 inch and try to beat Matt's probe. I want my car to be comfortable and faster than 90% of the honda's in this town, guess what mission accomplished. As for you Jason, I love you too. I have over half of the HO conversion finished. I just need a new ECU, MAF, put Shawn's old cam and the injectors in. I have heard stories about the stock 7.5 axle breaking on cars that have no mods at the track so I don't want to push too hard until I get an 8.8.
I have a 8.8 with a 3.73 gear for sale! Then you can put the pedal to the metal!!!

Jason: Yes.
Christian: How much? What bolt pattern? Whats it out of? Disc brakes?

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall
Torque is how far you take the wall with you -

I made over 300 and get 4.5:icon_rendeer:jesus, you're still getting just under what the 442 does for gas mileage.. and I think it's all stock still. Not bad! I haven't seen your car in person since.. last year when you were putting the new exhaust on. That thing's an absolute beast. How many miles per tire are you getting, though? :icon_smurf:

Need to clear up some tip in/acceleration issues....

Reliability, I'd put my 302 up against any honda. How many people boost a honda up to around 400 horsepower after the motor has 100k on it, then put another 80k on it with 0 issues? Gas mileage not so much. Once I get gears and the HO conversion finished my car will be as fast as Shawns was last year if not faster, due to the auto. 14.5's in a car that has full interior, weighs about 3800 pounds with me behind the wheel, and has about 225 hp. Fine by me. Sounds better than any honda ever built too.Lol Thanks I was needing some motivation to finish my car.

Yes, bikes are a brick in the wind. lol Thats why they are all electronically limited to 184 MPH. Thats why the '99-00 Busa can pull 196MPH out of the box due to no speed limiter.How fast to average cars go out of the box? (No BS $250,000 cars now.)
lol...."the math"....lol
What do you own that can do 205?(I'm assuming you're talking about your 7?)
What is a "full 5th pull"? Are you talking about on a dyno?
Got my evo to 175 Red line in 5th gear at 7500 rpm... I want to see a vid of you going 195.... Ur crazy
