Awesome N/A numbers man. What power adder are you going to put on it? That thing is going to scream if you put any power adder on it. Very impressive.

Was that you (the only Mustang) in the N/A Eliminator class on Sunday?
When they called up the no power adder class I looked around and saw....LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, LS1, Mustang.
Nice runs!
