Killed a new 5.0
« on: June 12, 2015 - 06:09:39 AM »
Well before I found I had four rockers messed up on my motor I ran a new body style and very modified 5.0 with a manual tranny.
It turned out very funny cause guy pulled two cars out of the hole as I went up in smoke. That's what I get for not having drag radials like him but I end up playing catch up till I hit seconds gear. Then peddle the car a little more and pulled on him like I was racing a escort. I end finishing the quarter that was marked on the highway at about 115 on my gps and pulled over three cars.
Now the really funny part is I pulled back into a parking lot and pulled my valve cover. He pulled next to me and was looking under my hood saying I was spraying but he learned quick that I had no spray and I was down two cly.
Bad part is everyone thinks my car is fast and I liked them not thinking it was. It was a lot more fun. And no believes it is just a little old 340 punched .30 over.
This is what they get for messing with mopar 😃

I keep saying it's all about the Torque ... These modern muscle cars have impressive HP ratings if you rev em high enough but the low end Torque just ain't that hot
Ck out this graph...even the tuned engine tops out around 380-ftlbs  http://blog.americanmuscle.com/bama-performance-makes-big-power-tuning-a-2015-mustang-gt/

That being said I test drove a new automatic 2015-GT & it will get up n scoot, wouldn't wanna have to run one with my 5.7 R/T....
