Well, since I'm not in any position for me to win in F-Stock anyway, or even beat a car except for the 73 Z/28, I'm sure they won't mind me running in F-Stock for the rest of the season.

Well, ok the vert is heavy like a mofo, but I would expect mid to low 14's. I guess if he was taking it easy though...

If it were both a vert and auto, then problem sovled. But it's a five speed. Oh well, he'll push it harder next time and get some much better times.

That's the spirit chief! Hey, if there's a race in August, you may have a 1st headed your way. It looks like I'll be out of town for a month.

Yeah, then I only have to beat the 73 Z, the 99 Chrome Yellow, and 2 more stangs. Then I'll take first.

Erich could throw springs, a PHB/TA, and gobs of motor mods and I wouldn't rat 'em. I could care less. My policy is let your conscience be your guide. After that, it's run what ya brung!

Yeah, if I started winning because of the Tri-Ax, then I would alert them, but since I came in last place last time, with the Tri-Ax in (even though I think I was babying it because of the popping problem) then I see no reason to change.

Too much! I mean, unless you like redlining your final gear at 60 mph. It wouldn't do too well for AutoXing, either. Now drag racing...

Exactly. If it gets to the point where I'm getting close to ESP times, I'll upclass. Until then, it's all good.

It's a little different with 4-bangers. He could very well have 3.55's or 3.73's in there stock. I had a little pickup (it's tires were smaller than my stang's) that came with 4.11's mated to the 1.8L.

Before ordering the 4.56's, I'd find out what you have now white. Then go from there.

Dude...no one can beat you anyway. They've come close (prolly cheating the system, too) but still you're winning a lot. Would TJ rat you out? Since he would know you had the pullies in, yet running out of class...

Really? That seems a bit much, though. But, I digress to the expert.

As far as class, any gear change will up class you out of stock (legally) and it'll bump you out of street prepared to prepared unless they were available in another 4 banger mustang (like the SVO). For instance, ESP mustangs can legally run 3.55's because the 2K R had em. No mustang ever came with 3.73's so they're illegal.

EDIT: No V8 mustang anyways.

No late model V8 stangs, anyway. The originals had options, though, and that was prolly one of them, right?
