I took my Boss out to ZMax today, amazing drag strip :rockon:. Conditions were decent, 200ft+ DA with a significant head wind, low 60's. I previously trapped 123mph 2 weeks ago in Rockingham however today my best was only 119. I did managed a new best et of 11.58 @ 119mph, 1.69 60ft.

I couldnt be more impressed with my Boss, amazing car. I have lt headers with hi flow cats, magnaflow catback, Airaid cai, rt-s welds with mt's.

I was trapping 4 mph higher in Rockingham 2 weeks ago but I my traction control/Advancetrac wasnt completely disengaged, couldn't get a clean pass. I was doing it wrong :lol1:. There was also a difference of 962ft DA between the 2 trips. I believe she has a lot more potential, low 11's with more seat time and ideal/great conditions.

Congrats on the PB! I would love to run at Zmax but I would get the boot I hear they are strict. So we stick to Rockingham when we get the the chance. We usually run at Farmington 1/8th. Where are you located in NC?

Just wanted to post to say that we(03/04 Cobra guys) aren't all idiots when it comes to the 5.0 cars. I saw a Boss at the BG NMRA with similar mods running 11.40s, so I definitely believe it. Nice times OP. Get it sorted out and get that low 11 :beer:

I've been hanging out in Road Kill Drive Thru too much lol. It's good to see someone that owns a terminator with a level head!

I've read through all of that crap and it makes me sick. I'd love to have a new 5.0, but that's not an option right now. Ford did a good job with both the 03/04 Cobra and the new 5.0 cars. Not sure why everyone needs to argue about them all of the time.

How is the traction and weight transfer in the new 5.0s compared to the sn 95 cars?

I'd have to assume considerably better :-D. It handles extremely well, hooks at the strip, revs to 7800+, and they are not overly portly. It's a lot of car for the $
