Let me start off by saying that my cars a 97 gt. It's basically stock with the exception of a BBK CAI and I don't have any thing past the first pair of cats on my exhaust (Like that when I bought it). Now earlier tonight I raced a 95 Mustang GT. It's basically stock to with the exception of a CAI and he has an off road H pipe and catback exhaust.

Now for the race, the first time we raced was the first time I had ever raced anyone and it was pathetic so lets just skip that. The second one however was different. I started off in the lead for about 7 seconds and he his front end was right on side mirror and then he just went on past and won with me at his rear bumper.

In a few weeks he's going to get 4.10's put in and it won't even be close anymore. Now I have a pair of PI Cams that I'm about to put in. What I want to know is that when I put them it will I win easily? Also is it better to go 1-2-D or is better to just leave it D and turn the OD off? I know that I should be able to make it closer with nothing done to my car. Also if it's better to go 1-2-D then at what points should I shift?

I'm not for street racing, I think it's pretty dumb to do. But let me say this, I used to do it quite a bit when I was a little younger. Now when someone wants to run, I just let em take off and look dumb.

Theres some guys here that have done a lot of the PI stuff to their npi Stangs, start a new thread and ask what kind of gains you can expect.

Try not to street race man, it's really not worth it. Wrecks and tickets suck.

Does that mean you can come here violating the rules telling everyone about how you street race? No it doesn't... No reason to get offensive but, im sure if you look you will find one
