I actually belive a 300whp TC full body. Can take a gt. The reason I put down an extra 50whp is because most sheets or shop dynos put up inflated numbers. So 50whp that should do it.

Funny thing is, Slikk is always talking about being the slowest of us F/I tC's in the crew...lol. He doesn't like to lose though and we go back and forth all the time.
One time I pulled a fast one on him. We were talking back and forth (this was before our new turbo setups), and a track day was coming up. Talking smack to one another about the time we are going to run and what not and who was going to be faster.
What he didn't see coming, is the set of R-compounds I brought to the track
. Should have seen the look on his face when I pulled them out like nothing was happening and it was just routine....he had a WTF look going on...

even if you were at stock weight i'd ask for that bet. the mustang is a pig man i dont care if it has 400hp it loses 25% through the drive train so it puts about 320ish to the wheels and it weighs 3600lbs. So a car with 200whp and that weighs 2900 with a full tank of gas and my 185lbs self will do work on a mustang.

You can't tell by the way Slikk drives! Trust me I know that WTF look.... I put a set of BF Goodrich Drag Radials on an extra set of stockies when I raced against my Dad's Vette this summer. He shook his head and said "My own son trying to hustle me" my response was "I learned from the best!" lol.

Someone mentioned that new 5.0's put down 320 WHP, you are very wrong bud.
They put out anywhere from 350 to 370WHP and 340-350 TQ at the wheels. I agree on one thing thought they are chubby.
I wish there was a 300WHP tC here in WA that i know of.
If you guys look at tCs here in WA for the most part they are riced out angle exhaust, orange painted stock wheels and bunch of stickers rides! I wish my tC was here instead of NYC so i can show them how it's done, lol..plus it would be cool to have my 400whp tc here and my 5.0 so i can take them both to the track and do direct comparison of everything.
If you can find me a tc with 300 at the wheels in the next 2 weeks i will run him. After 2 weeks it's going to be a waste of gas for me.

Lol,
yeah but my set up will not be whining.
You will hear from idle but not when in motion.
Installation may delay by a week now.
Today went to the dealership for an oil change and asked to check how much oil my engine is using, so they filled it up with new oil, marked the dip stick and told me to be back in 1000 miles to monitor oil consumption if it's within normal or not.
So i may have to wait to install the stuff.
