Bret thanks for the Thread, like usual your insights on always appreciated, I didn't want to guess since I didn't have the weight and wind condition so I stayed on the safe side. What would you estimate the real HP. Again the Holbrook group have been really on the leading edge of the envelope with those engines. Great Thread. By the way is a Mustang replacing the Corvette or is it a Grand Marquis in your racing stable. Claude

I'll let Chris release that info; it's just not my place to say.

The Grand Marquis got a runner-up last weekend so I think I'll keep it for a while. I pulled off a "personal challenge" by running timed trials at one track, driving to another track for test runs and then returning to the original track for eliminations...and made it to the final.

Congratulations on making the fastest Mustang.(at this time) very hard work and satisfying results.
Obviously the fact it is getting closer to 7 second range is more a function of what NHRA has allowed to be called Stock/SuperStock. The question is what Modified type car or Comp type car a factory can sneak under the tent in Stock and SuperStock next with NHRA approval.

The nice part is that Chris could put plates on the CJ and drive it to work. These cars are not that far off of a Shelby GT 500.
