Caught a Race with a 03 RCSB on sat....Looked Stock but had Side Exit Exhaust Sounded like Flows...First Two times we Raced at about a 45mph
Roll and i put about 2 Cars on him at a good pace then we Caught a lite
on Fairmont.Ask him what he had he said 4.8 with a 5m with only Exhaust.....Lite turnd Green I put 2 back on him But at About 65 he started Walking up on me at a good pace....Had to slow for the next light i Turned left...Never Saw Where he Went..But i was left thinking Damn that Was fast for A Stock 4.8...I know
O1 Tunder
Would eat me for Lunch but a Stock 4.8. if we would have had a little longer run im not sure If i could have Stayed in the lead....What i want to know is it the 5 Speed that gave him the Edge or am i just that Slow......

anyway, i think if u have hypertech and he had 5speed its about even. and a race to 65 doesnt really mean anything
