Tommy,

The change in rules is a huge advantage to you. With traction control for the launch and auto shifting, this is as close to a "no skill required" race as you can get.

Blitz,

Buzz,

Good Idea, but we need to know what the Ring & Pinion ratio is.

Does anyone know?

Blitz,

Your motor probably makes around 750 HP on an engine dyno with open headers. The sidepipes on these things are actually very inefficient in spite of how loud they are.

I'm not going to take sides on this so I will offer a few thoughts to both of you.

rjbh20,

I didn't say he was a nice guy, or that he plays by the rules. I've never met him, so I wouldn't know.

I'm just saying the whole way he is presenting himself feels wrong. I don't buy...

I'm amazed that everyone is buying into this "Blitz is a Moron" thing. You don't make money as a VC or as a high stakes poker player by being stupid or gullible.

Ron,

I should have clarified that. It's considered correct for mid to late 60's Mustangs. I would expect it would apply to any Ford from that time period since they all used the same engines.

Mark IV,

Can you give more details on the 289 Street Car? Are we talking an accurate 289 slabside with original frame & suspension? I may have just died and gone to heaven.

I'll take a somewhat rambling shot at this, giving my reasoning as I go.
