Default Took my car out for the first time in months and just wanted to post some vids....

It was finally over 40 degrees yesterday, nothing special but just wanted to share some entertainment. I have also noticed a couple of new Vortech guys on here so this is what you can look forward to (this is a 3.12 pulley) (I'm guessing about 4.5 sec 0-60 and 10.5 sec 0-100 with my weaksauce launch in the one video). I am going for the 2.87, something other than my stock exhaust and a re-tune as soon as it warms up.

Not yet but I am going to run it before my 2.87 and tune this spring. Be nice to see if a Vortech 3.12 can get into the 12's.

That rustang sounded efing nice dude ...

You have sooooooooooooooo much more grip in 1st than I do. Launching like that in my car would be an exercise in traction futility all the way up through 3rd gear.

What size and type of tires are you running?

i have no question in my mind i will go 12's with the 3.12 pulley tuned with full exhaust. i also have mt et streets i will be running, but still even with street tires i would expect high 12's. i went 13.8 bone stock ..i expect very low 12's on the slicks with the 3.12 and the supporting mods i will be running

and holy ****, i would never drive my z in the winter, back n/a or especially FI. . just cause of all the **** though on the roads, salt and sand, ugh

That's my friends Stang it has a 347. I just have Stock size Toyo's on my stock rims. I'm hoping the 2.87 and retune will make my stock tires a problem haha.

His best is a 12.4 @ 117 (He has a 347 motor that put down 383whp on a dyno jet) he had someone in his car taking the video when we raced so he had some extra weight. Here is that video if anyone wants to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeNPjeid_RI
