SS/E 2008 Mustang at Atlanta

dwydendorf · 04-17-2009, 10:03 AM

At least the Cobra Jet is running on the same weight break for Super Stock. Mark Beaver's A/SA 98 Camaro with an 8lb weight break went to a 12 lb weight break (SS/KA) just by switching to Super Stock. SS/KA has a softer index also. Sounds like the SS horsepower factor for the Camaro is more bogus than the Cobra Jets. I also would like to know Bruce, how you possibly know what gear is in the Mustang? Were you the one who installed it in the car?

My car is not a A/SA car at 8LBS, It is a C/SA at 9lbs or SS/JA at 11lbs. So, K was not a bid deal.
Thanks

146 mph, eh? Did anybody else hear about this?

Maybe these engineers tell Bruce stuff like that just for fun.

Tom,
This information came from people at the track. Prove that it didn't happen! That may be kinda tough for you since you are totally out of the loop and post like your basic run of the mill heckler.

D Holly,
You brought attention to the new CJ at Atlanta but, I found out that we don't necessarily have control of where the thread goes after that.

C Wigle and Heath,
Nobody is crying here. Months ago, many of us predicted what these cars would do and now they are running those numbers. The CJ/Ford guys were slipping around with non denial denials about this car's performance. We were right and it's worth making that known. You guys have to live with the humiliation of running a car that is damn near as fast as a SS/AH in Stock. No we aren't crying. We are laughing.

We can run Stock or Super Stock with it. However, we do make changes to run it in Super Stock. We will change it back to Stock for the divisional races. If you go to Atlanta this weekend, stop by and introduce yourself.

What changes did you make??
