George, too bad when I post facts you have to resort to name calling of me, Mike, and others. That aside, you seem to be racing "Boost" which is just a number on a gage (like your deal is so efficient).

Explain to me how a 347 cid Ford in 1998 (in a legal weight 3000# Mustang) was able to run 7.50 at 179 mph with 21 psi of boost and your deal is 1/2 second slower with a 188 cubic inch LARGER engine 17 years later. (And has not run in the 7s). We are not talking 30+ psi of boost here George. Even if you ran your engine at 21 psi of boost, I personally would not be impressed that your deal took a 188 MORE cubic inches to run the same number as the little 347 cid Ford engine. By the way it ran the number with a 2 speed trans, a 10.5W tire, on GASOLINE. The owner could bracket race the engine, could go on a 30 mile street drive before the event and then run the number 12 times in a week-end.

So historically you are way behind in your program. Brian should do well with his deal as he will be closer to the Mustangs (and your weight), he will run more boost, he will have a larger engine, and now an inter-cooler.
