I said may(never said it would) and you got your panties in a bunch....I haven't ran against his car, but if its anything like mine you will have your hands full. These cars are completely different from a 600-700hp supercharged car. I know 500whp dsms that weigh about like a 5.0 and pull for days on 700+whp cobras running nitrous. Its all in the setup.

I only brought the supercharge cars up because you did. You don't think I know that? What I'm getting at is for you to compare my car to you buddy's car is plan out stupid. Why do you think just because you beat him that all 5.0 with the same bolt on's run the same? I'm not mad or upset just confused by your comments.

Because there's no way you would be more than 10-20hp different than him unless you have something on your car I don't know about. As well as he's the fastest 5.0 around here. 10-20hp won't make THAT big of a difference, sorry man. Its just like every bolted and tuned lnf. One may pull the other but its always very slow and pretty well even unless someones car isn't running right which his car is because it wouldn't be able to beat other cars like it has. Just put it this way....I could let him take off, then I take off about 2 seconds later and roll past him. Its simple physics man. Now maybe his car isn't quite on the same power level or maybe it is, but when running aftermarket f/i with different mods there's no telling whose car is faster, thats why I said he may completely demolish you. I really don't know.
Hey ford make sure you bring it, because this guy this going to get proved wrong.

Your gearing is different and you're on E85 so it should be interesting. Should have listed this to begin with, lol. All I knew was you were a fully bolted 5.0. And actually my buddy is running the same exact exhaust setup with pypes resonated tips. Love the sound of it.

The cobalt is a handful even in limp mode.
Cliffs car absolutely screams. He even got some GTR action. Tons of runs last night. It was a good night.

Lol no. I didn't get home until like 45 minutes before the meet. Had to shower after work and only had time to disconnect the battery and reset. Car seemed fine until I raced a guy before cliff. As soon as I downshifted and line up the car went into limp mode. Even at 4k rpm it took 3 seconds to actually build boost. When I passed that guy though it was ugly lol.

Oh and I laugh when people give you **** about beating on your car. Oh and after 10-15 test pulls and 6 runs last night my transmission is still going strong. I probably have over 100 pulls at this power level.

Yeah I had it at like 25.3 it's been much much higher as well. Then again I wouldn't mind getting a 5th injector and fuel pump. Just the fuel pump upgrades for our car don't seem to be reliable.
