Can a 2.3 TVS 2008 Shelby GT500 at Full weight, full exhaust etc, on 93 octane run 9's?
Today we finally took my friends car to the track after setting up the combo in his car.
He hasn't raced a car in almost 5 years, so he wanted to take it real slow, small steps.
Car has a Ford 2.3 TVS with a 2.7 upper and 10percent OD crank, 72 L&M TB and Plenum. AR headers with full exhaust, GT cams, FB auto trans, running 93octane PUMP GAS, No additive to fuel, no race fuel.
The tune I had in the car, since he didn't want to turn the power up , was running 10.8 A/F and 16 degrees of timing.
Well his first pass he lifted at the 1000 foot, the second pass he went a little further down and the 3rd and 4th pass he starting feeling good about being at the track again. He didn't use a 2 step, no trans break, nothing just foot braked it and shifted at 6400 rpms.
I can't wait until he lets me turn it up and maybe actually put some race fuel in it and really turn it up.

Sorry I didn't have a better camera with me, I took it with my phone.
