I thought about trying some auto x but apparently I have the wrong wheel setup for it and need a square set up which im not willing to do.

E85 and a retune is probably my best bet right now. I've been on the fence for awhile now about the Vette and while I'd love to have one, it just doesn't make financial sense to do it so I will stick with the Stang and just have to be patient with modding it.

Yes. It's a tune from TS. Runs nice and smooth, no problems at all. Even though I'm told my tune is "weak" since I keep losing to every 5.0 on the board, I think that has more to do with the loose nut behind the wheel. lol

It was fun to drive and made a great daily.
After the boost, the fun factor went through the roof, but the daily drive factor went through the floor. It's just easier to take the '05 now if I'm going to work, or pretty much anywhere for that matter.
If it's not going to be a daily, then boost it and have some fun. If it is, them maximize the n/a combo and still have some fun!

Hmm, maybe I need to rethink the longtubes. It's not my daily, I've got my truck for that. I really miss boost and I'm just being really impatient about it.

How about throwing on some nitrous for shits and giggles? |
Probably a very smart idea. The problem with hanging out with a even slower group is that they have a curfew and have to be home by 9pm.

3.31's. I do need more suspension stuff, sway bars for sure. Not sure about the LCA's though with so many people having issues with the relocation brackets.

I wouldn't advise it. lol

Come out to the Friday night meet again and I'd be glad to take you for a ride.

Sure I'm comparing Vics car to your blown 5.0, but it had cut heads and injectors more than just exhaust and a cam... But it didn't have a blower. Lmao.
Always awesome Stang guys gotta chime in with boost to race a lightly modded Vette. BTW, my slow ass pof smoked more than 2 150 shot 5.0s, and it wasn't near as fast as Vics...

Haha, I have car A.D.D. I need to go to the Henry Ford Clinic for treatment.

Up until recently, he actually had three of them at one time. One of them was a sick LS3 car that was pretty fast. But now he's got the his fox vert running again and slowly rebuilding Strokd again so he will be back in Stangs again. He's just a big Vette fan too.

So know you want to change your camed, header, vette to a procharger vette? What happen to Steve doing cam and headers on a C6 over just putting a simple blower on his car and being faster?
This was the discussion, not who wants to race

He's trolling you to get everyone stirred up.

Yeah, you are right. I just need to be patient. It's going to be awhile though.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
