I will when I reclaim my computer from my kids. And yeah, not interested in running stock cars. I'll race what ever anyone wants to bring; N/A, FI, I don't care.
It's the internet, they can call me what they want. I don't take it personally. Plus, that is a great way to sorry out the people I should ignore
Sorry, it stands for Water/Meth injection. Tired of timing getting pulled for bad gas, and the Coyote hates high IAT.
Water/Methanol? I have no idea other than that.
That car will run mid 11s without. My mustang ran 11.3 with bolt ons and no meth onshell 93.
I haven't run it with the W/M at the track yet. But, I am hoping to get into the 10's this spring, and W/M is part of the equation
Yeah, the car is currently held back by lack of grip. QTPs should help that
...Mustangs respond to mods much better than Challengers. I still find it hard to believe they can get mid 11's with intake/exhaust mods...but I haven't driven a "Stang" since my 88 GT. If it's true, it probably means that the aftermarket world has not invested the R&D for good quality Challenger Mods.
The mopar crowd usually has trouble believing, but there are many that run mid 11 s with basic bolt ons. It'sjust a great platform togo fast affordably. That's why I have both, mustang to race, challenger to cruise. Best of both worlds imho....Mustangs respond to mods much better than Challengers.

Was beginning to think you might be a "liar" (because your 11 second time sounded LOW). AWI is some "POTENT" stuff. If I performed an "AWI Takeoff," I had to reduce normal take off power settings by 50%...or I'd damage/blow engines. That stuff would give me more power at 1/2 throttle settings ...than normal full power conditions would. I do not doubt that you may get into the 10's...or lower. But I also think that if you are not careful...you will blow your motor.I haven't run it with the W/M at the track yet.

The Mustangs are made to be modded, IMO. I am interested in what you guys are doing to the 392, they seem to be very stout. I can see the lack of after market support being a problem, the price you pay for exclusivity....Mustangs respond to mods much better than Challengers.

Ford has the luxury of selling "many more cars." This means more companies are willing to invest $$$ in R&D. The problem with stock SRT's is the "Hyperteutic Pistons." These pistons have many advantages for "production cars." They are lighter than forged pistons. But because they are so light and tough...the engineers designed the "upper ringland" to be very close to the top of the piston. This is fine in "non boosted applications." But when motors force greater than 8.0 psi ....it cuases the "thin" upper portion of the piston to break...and destroy engines.
. If the working man is serious about speed...than he will buy a Mustang...or better yet...a RICER. Those ricers can easily destroy 5.0's for similar investment. But that takes us back to the original "proposition."
Holy cow! That is some serious coin for new pistons. The stock Coyote pistons and rods are our weak points. 10 psi/600-650 range is the limit on stock internals and staying remotely reliable.Ford has the luxury of selling "many more cars."

If MOPAR guys want to run high boost...they need drop in pistons ($3-4K upgrade). That means when we add a blower, we must spend an extra $3K.
I knew this when I bought the Challenger. It is not a "working mans car" anymore
1. What do you want to drive? I bust some serious "stang" balls here...but IF I had the $$$...I'd own a Z28, GT500 and an SRT.
2. We "American Muscle Guys"...should spend less time fighting amongst ourselves...and devote our hatred to the REAL ENEMY...Eurotuners...and RICERS.
And guys like me (on this site) are willing to do it. Don't get me wrong. If I was only interested in speed...I'd have bought a 5.0 (might get one as a daily driver). But I did drive the Challenger, Stang and Camaro.Holy cow! That is some serious coin for new pistons.

And yeah, I love fast cars and tinkering with them. Not to worried about things like brand loyalty. My Mustang rocks, but it's taken the new chassis and the Coyote motor the win me over. I was very close to buying a 392. It would have been a travesty of the highest order with my love of ripping things apart though. I like your list but, I'd swap the Z28 for a C6Z06
