Is his motor stock, and yea how much boost is he running. Since he's carbed it may not be tuned optimally for blow through depending on who worked with the car. Second of all are you stock or bolt on? If he is stock motor with low boost and mediocre tuning on the carbed blow through you will probably destroy him. If it's a built motor with lowered compression and higher boost tuned properly you could be in trouble. What turbo does he have? Give more info about the cars. My ls1 consistantly beats a lot of supercharged mustangs easily, but I have a few bolts ons now, but was beating most of them stock anyways.

You might get took out. If he has spent that much for a turbo, then he prolly has other mods as well. Gears, exhaust, prolly worked engine, you might get smoked homey.

Yeah no shit. Theres no way he 'skipped' other mods before the turbo.

If its just for fun, just race the son of a bitch.

Yup. Fox Body Mustangs are like a box of chocolates. Ya never know which flavor you're biting into.

The mods i listed on there is what he has... he has nothing done 2 the engine... I have a SLP Lid, MAF Senson, Bellow, free mods, and Flowmaster exhaust and short throw shifter... i wil race him anyways... i wonder if i even have a chance... he says he can run 10's... and he is 17...

**430 stang** · 02-16-2007, 01:13 PM

It depends on the size of the turbo. My stock block 302 with a 70mm turbo makes 480 RWHP on 10psi. Just race him!

What's a "Stage 2 Turbo kit"?
Where did he find a turbo kit that works with a CARBURATOR?
