What will break

[XJHEAD]

Leaving Monday night for St. Louis. 5.0 Mustang has invited 14 Mustang owners to a 1/4 mile shootout. It will be this Wednesday at Gateway International Raceway. All runs will be single time trials.

Here are their rules.

Other than running a full tank of our spec E-85 and utilizing the proper safety equipment there are no "rules" to the event. Run what ya brung.

I am still shooting for that new T-shirt from 2Wheeler.

[Grr]

Im voting for a variety, but i think you will blow the HG and grenade teh motor hard enough it will take out the trans too, after you get a 9.18 on the first pass and a 8.97 on the second pass

Blow the tires off in second gear, but then you stay in it and hit the wall! J/K Hope to see a 8.75 out of the beast and a first place finish!

Looks like some weak competition. :deal:

There are 2-3 other low 9 second cars in that bunch.. One says he'll be in the 8's. We all know how the internet bullshit talk works though...

I did a little investigating tonight.

That is the one that I am a little nervous about. He just got it together in the last couple months. Big Block Blowthru.

The other one is Keith L. runs low 9's on 10 psi.

This is the shootout that I am going to in a couple of weeks, there seems to be a couple of fast cars showing up to this one I believe the black sn95 car made 1300rwhp with e-85 on the dyno last year. I just hope I get into the top 5 with this group.

I went a 9.14 at KID testing on a friday night I believe

I went a 9.16 at tulsa pedaling it twice once at the launch and at the top end there were mostly street cars there, no traction

The other night I ran a 9.23 1.45 60ft @ 9lbs of boost sliding all over the track at KID

Wonder what it'll do at Gateway with the same tune?lol

I never made no more than an average of 11lbs on most of my passes. I plan on turning up the boost at this race I got nothing to loose its the end of the year and its time to step up the boost. On my last pass of the day if my car seems to react to the added boost throughout the day I am going to put 20-25 plus lbs of boost to it, id bet it'll be one hell of a ride.

Thanks for all the encouragement everyone.
