Got the new 5.0 to the track

[Cmarsh]

My uncle took his to Denton today. His is a 6spd with 3.31 gears, has a k&n intake and running the stock 235 18s. It went 8.01 @ 92, 60' no better than 1.9, pretty unreal.

Have him bring it up and get a Hpp aggresive tune. I think mannys went a 7.6 @ 94mph on the 11.8 run. I bet your uncles is a lot harder to launch on stock tires

I got some drag radials yesterday, so I decided it would be a good time to get some base numbers.
I was hoping for low 12's. First pass was an 11.84@116.7, I was super happy with that. I made a few more and they were all 11.9's between 115.8-116.5. So I went home really happy, all the passes I made were in the 11's. I left it in drive and let the trans do it's thing. It shifts into 4th right at th 1/4 mile traps.
Current mods are:
Cold air kit, magnaflow catback, offroad H-pipe, custom tune for E-85, and 18" drag radials.
With twins this thing will be sick! This was 100% full weight, spare in the trunk, leather, nav., baby seat, etc...

On a side note, one of our techs Jay, took his twin turbo LS1 in a fox coupe. It ran pretty good, he was having traction issues. Off a 2k launch it went a 9.7@149.
Brandon took his 302" fox with a dry kit and went 11.2@119.
We had a great time!

I cant believe those cars are that quick.

I think you'll be seeing some of the best results from these cars with the automatics.

I'm all for running automatics.


Manny just curious what did it 60ft? any plans on doing a converter for it?

[TINKRD]

He used to have stock ls3 heads... He still running those?

Yep....stock l92 heads. We were talking about adding a nice cam soon, so we can hit 700 or 750 at the current boost level. Jay, like 99per of people at hpp..is running e85

Knowing Manny, it will have a Neil Chance converter and a Glide in it before next Tuesday.

They already changed the wheels. Those aren't the same wheels that are on the car when the photo's were put up in the other thread. What are those?

Yeah, the car came with 19's..but its not the style that Manny was looking for. These are SVT wheels, pretty much like the ones that come standard on a Gt500. Manny had the rears widened to 18x12 and the fronts are a 18x4.5 i believe..with M&H 18inch skinnys.

Im pretty sure that he is looking to sell the upgraded 19's that came with the car stock. PM Manny for a price if anyone is interested.

Very impressive!

I'll have to come by and check it out some time.

[redfirevert]

Very nice run Manny.
