In the 1/4 mile it is. A drivers race in the 1/4 is when 2 cars consistently run within a 1/10 or two. I've seen times for both cars go deep into the 12s bone stock for best times. And unless your a bracket racer type and always get the same time run after run, for most people racing it is a...

An SS and a GT are not a drivers race? Please read entire post. I said SS not ZL1.

Read further down. It says for track only because it does not offer enough particulate protection for every day use.

I agree on this 100%! :thumbsup:

This is actually what Ive been waiting for. More and more regular people taking their cars to the drag strip. With more people giving their best times we can get a better picture of where the new car stands. And so far it is very similar to the 11-14s. I think Spring will be the time that we...

I thought that the blocks failed when getting to 1000 rwhp. Im not totally sure, maybe someone will chime in that knows more about the blocks in these cars.

No it did not accelerate my purchase. I still have not ordered and wont probably until the end of 2015. I am saving money so I can have a Huge downpayment and enough money for all of my mods ( Blower, driveshaft, axles, something for wheelhop, race wheels/tires). If anything the info here has...

So I was reckless everytime I drove my 05 Stang on Goodyear F1 tires in the winter? Sorry, but I dont agree with your opinion. Was I driving on the best tires? No. But I was not reckless. So if there are better brakes available for my car and I dont buy them and now have reduced stopping power...

I look at it this way. The ZL1 is not in the GTs class. The SS is. For braggin rights stock for stock its a drivers race in the 1/4. In the 1/4 stock for stock the ZL1 is quicker and faster. But it should be its in a higher class. When you mod any car you can pretty much make any car as fast...

Did Ford Racing school remove the 500lb comment? I went to Twitter and cant find it.

U read my mind! Its working out for me. Im still saving enough money for a Huge downpayment and also for ALOT of mods. So I have nothing but time. And I have been thinking of holding off until the 2016s come just incase there were new colors or the PP can come with Automatic tranny. Maybe my...

Earlier in the thread it was asked. Whipple replied they were working on one.

Driveshaftshop, Thanks for the nice writeup! Are your 800hp axles rated for flywheel or rwhp? Will cars with mild blowers around 600-650rwhp be okay with the 800hp axles even if they are gonna use slicks or drag radials for 1/4 mile launches?

OP its the best when a cop is an enthusiast and says something cool. On my 05 I had just installed my Saleen Supershaker blower and was taking the car for a test run to make sure no CELs and that it ran right. Cop pulls up next to me and yells "Nice Car, I can hear the blower whine! Wanna race?"...

Maybe you were expecting more, but give her some time. Was your last Stang a manual or auto? If you switched from manual to auto that could explain some of what you felt maybe. Maybe the Mustang has gotten too refined for you. The S550 is a smooth ride and will attract some customers that...

Is the Ligenfelter pump the Stewart EMP one?

Wow Whipple, Thanks for getting me excited again! And you guys are back with a vengeance with this new kit! I am impressed with every little thing you did to control heat/heat soak. I had a Saleen blower on an 05 GT and it was a little heat pump even at 10-12 PSI. I really had to address the...

If the dealer cant figure this out, it might be best to find a new one. 3 different Ford dealers could always get my lowered S197 on a lift. Maybe this is a blessing to find a new dealer to do your work.

You are Ken?! Awesome! I really loved your column and the magazine in general. Thanks for the good times I had reading your stuff. And sorry to hear about your column.:( I too once had a large collection of MMFF mags. I lost them in a house fire years ago though. There was a ton of info in...

Didnt know that. I used to have a subscription. Guess I have to renew it. Does anyone know where MMFF is based now. They used to do alot of stuff in NJ. Atco and Englishtown. Just reading this mag took me from knowing nothing about any cars to installing headers and blowers. Im gonna go buy a...
