Update:
Had a weird night but overall winner. I set it up with the red 5.0 in the clips to meet at 10. Left my place at 9 to get a splash of fuel and head out. I get on the freeway, test it out and had no boost *gasp*. Called my friend with the flip camera up and we saw that the intercooler pipe popped off (hot side). Took us an hour and a half to let it cool down and then clamp it back on. Had to loosen the clamp on the intercooler side to get it lined up and clamped back down. There are no notches or ridges on these pipes to help the clamps stay on. Noticed it also touches the lower radiator hose ugh.
So I finally get out to the meet and everyone is gone already. I then went to another meet on the other side of Mexico where I run into a black 5.0, faster than the red one...better driver. He was on drag radials. Here's how it went.
20-roll: He got me by ~1.5 cars gap between bumpers all in the initial punch
45-roll: He got me by ~1 car gap between us...it was even on the top
45-roll sans my 300+ lb passenger: he missed a shift and it was no contest
45-roll sans pass.: walked away from him...3+ cars gap before I braked
On the last two runs I "brake-boosted". The good thing is all of these are captured on my friend's flip camera and he will be piecing all the clips together and post it on YouTube hopefully some time this week. I will post it in a new topic when it's available. This was a good strong 5.0 on drag radials with a decent driver.
