i'm not saying your car isn't fast. i'm saying you aren't racing the right people. even when i race cars that make 100 more whp than i do, they don't put several lengths on me by 85, especially from a roll.

His car has the A10. So the only way I could see his story being true is if the guy in the Shelby isn't selecting the correct gear. Or if the Shelby's tires are trash. Because 40-85 should not be enough room to have several car lengths on a car with less weight, more power, and CF wheels.

If the acceleration times aren't as accurate as a track timer then so be it. To me the important thing is I have multiple runs that show similar improvements from stock to bolt ons, so at least there's a trend in the right direction.

Again, MAF numbers are not dyno numbers. You did not gain that much power from just a ported TB, ported IM, catback, and drop in air filter. And you are not at 485 HP to the wheels without a tune and LTs at the least. The mods you have are probably good for a handful of power at best. Maybe 10 to the wheels. And I highly doubt you added 3 tenths to your 0-60. Most likely you drove the car better that day and got better results. The only way to know what you have is to get it on a dyno and get it to the track.
Not for nothing, but do you say this stuff over on the Mustang forums? Do you tell them that your ported IM/TB, catback, and drop in filter has you at 485 RWHP based on MAF readings and that you're gapping GT350s by several car lengths from 40-85 rolls? How do they reply to that? Just curious.
