Still cool that they were easily in the 10s with only bolt ons, though. That's what I like.

On their facebook they said the only mods are pistons and rods/C4 transmission... am I missing something?

It has a procharger on it with only engine upgrades are pistons and rods, basically saying the engine is built very well but still need a couple upgrades for peace of mind.

if its doing 8's with a centrifugal supercharger (much less torque at lower RPMs), i'm wondering what it would do with the Whipple 2.3L blower... or a Kenne Bell Blowzilla 2.8 or 3.6...

Yeah, the only mods to the block are pistons and rods for strength. Then there's the Procharger and exhaust.

Still, 8.89 @ 148 is pretty badass and they got there pretty quickly.

I think for practical purposes, though, the 10 second passes with a CAI, tune, and exhaust is most impressive.

I'm not sure, but chances are they are launching well into boost and it stays up there, so low-end is not a concern.

ha, I know right. Well i'm going to be getting 10 grand for my re-enlistment bonus, its going to be devoted solely to a twin screw and suspension/wheels. I havent decided on what kit I want to go with yet, the Kenne Bell is cheaper and more attractive underhood than the Whipple and makes more power (they have larger displacement blowers), its looking more and more like the kit i'm going to be going with. Looks like im going to end up buying the kit here and having the Army ship it to germany with my household goods, they have to CARB test before they ship the car to Europe, and I guarantee if it was boosted, the Stang would have to stay stateside

I need to thank m4a1mustang. He told me about the visual cues to tell the new GT apart from the new V6 (used to be an obvious hood scoop).

So now as I coast on the highway in my Zed, I don't feel like I'm surrounded by bad@$$ 5.0's. I can just look over, see the front/rear fascia, the pipes, or the obvious lack of 5.0 badge (which I knew about before), and my winkie seems long enough.
