Do it! We did some shakedown passes with kdanner's car last night at Lonestar Motorsports Park in Sealy. Air was terrible but they did a good job with the track.
Best pass was:
First time the car has been to the strip in over a year. It should run mid 10's when the weather cools.
I've been watching that video for about an hour now. It's very tempting. I will not be swapping over to the 6R80 though. That 1-2 shift bugs me badly. Still leaning towards a 4R70, but looking at the 4R100 and even the GM stuff right now.

Most of the blown 5.0s have spent WAY more time in a shop than on road trips, lol.
Yes, that is true for the cars making more than 650rw for sure. That comes down to tune issues more times than not with cars pushing the limits of the stock MAF. But there is many, many cars out there running 600-650 range that have stock like drivability from a solid tuner.
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

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
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!

In all fairness to HPP, mine ran nearly flawlessly from December to May of this year. What changed in the tune after that is anyones guess, but it changed dramatically. Wouldn't idle steady, had a miss running down the road at steady rpms, died at redlights. Hopefully, GH got all that mess worked out, will find out this week.
