How so? I've had several blown cars and it's no different with a blown car than a NA car unless your foot in is the boost the whole way. If you have a good tune, it should drive like stock on a roadtrip.

Downtime those are impressive numbers. Thatd be like me get a custom tune and dyno out 420. That'd be 20hp loss than someone with boss Mani and full bolt ons. How does this shit even make sense I wonder to myself sometimes LOL

We need to run lol I'm just cai/tune

Much more likely to break something with the extra strains put on the mechanicals. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun to road trip a blown car, you just have to be a little more careful with things, especially past a certain power level.

I guess what I was really trying to get across is that the magazines these days make it seem like every Stang you see has a blower, and if you don't have one, you're just not cool. That is total bullshit, these cars are a freakin' blast to drive N/A, so don't think you have to have some form of forced induction to be "in".

What I'm saying is, numbers don't mean anything (other than showing a quantifiable outcome to modifications performed). 420 is nothing to scoff at, and with a little practice and some sticky tires, will run middle 11's all day long. You will also be able to handle any stock, or even mildly modded LS wundercar you might happen across while in Mexico. Nothing wrong with that!

Definetly the only thing that matters is track times. I've managed to get the stock 235s to run 2.0 60' now lol ran 8.4s spinning 1-3

You mean anything short of a Corvette right?

Close to my times, I ran a 8.1 or something my last time out a few months back.
Ive ran c5 Zo6 vettes and pulled.

Nope. Rule out some Z06's and the odd ZR1, if you ever happen to run across one, but run of the mill Z51 cars are no problem. The key is, all (OK, most) Vette drivers like to roll race, and for some reason, they always want to go pretty high, like from 55 or 60. That allowed me to grab 3rd and be right in the meat of the powerband. There is nothing like tromping a plastic fantastic driver in your big, heavy Mustang. They all beat on the steering wheel in exactly the same way. There must be a class they have to take on that!

Yep, we got to get you some DR's!

Ah I forgot your car is s/ced, that makes then.

he was talking about when he was N/A.

Interesting.

Like he was saying as long as its not a C6 Z06 or ZR1 a bolt on 5.0 can hold its own

Completely agree. I've had the opportunity to run a c6 Z from a 40 in second I pulled on the punch until I hit third than he said bye bye lol. other than that .... a badass pontiac G8 thats it.
