This was with break in tune and cold start. Open 1 3/4" headers, no exhaust.

YouTube - Stopsign32v 302 cold start

This is car tuned but still cold start.

YouTube - 331 w exhaust

Sorry for the belt squeeling the pulleys aren't lined up correctly. Motor is about to come back out so I didn't bother with fixing it yet. Let me know what you think.

That thing sounds good with exhaust on it. I do see a potential issue though... Didn't anyone ever tell you the skinnies go in the front? You're gonna have a hell of a time finding traction with those tires. What are they, 225's?

Mine's been pretty much useless for a year, in the middle of a supercharger install. It's basically done now, but needs an exhaust leak fixed and to be tuned, but I don't have the ambition to do it either. It was different when the Mustang was the DD, but now I have a nice comfy Grand Cherokee to cruise around in and a bike to ride if I want speed.

Those are 275s and they are my girlfriend's Mach 1 wheels. She has my wheels on her car and I run 315 Drag Radials.

Wow, the video makes them look narrow! I stand corrected, although you'll probably still melt those into little chunks of rubber on your 1/4 panel.

Sounds mean! I was hoping the ant in the first video would cross in front of the exhaust at the same time you whacked the throttle, sending it flying, but I'll have to wait for round 2.

So how does a 457rwhp 331 handle on the street? Or do you even bother? More combo info please!

Honestly I never ironed out this combo to where I could see what its like. I'm told with 4.30 gears that I was going to put into it, it could run high 10's @ 120+mph. Sadly this is a street car that I went out of control on the build. I must say, I made a hell of a track car. This just isn't a track car. So I'm pulling the motor out and changing some stuff around. The next one will be as tame as a B303 car but hopefully run low 11's. We will see, I will keep you guys up to date.
