A little following the footsteps i.e. fuel system mods and perhaps I'll give it another shot.
The Mustangs are my slaves on the road course and most are in the 1/2 mile too unless using nitrous or boosted. But I hate being 5 mph faster and running the exact time again and again while every run they get a little faster and faster. I wanted to slam dunk them this time or cost a few engines. I'm going to tape off the upper grill after the first few runs and see what happens.

sadly les im in the same boat. after less than 5 runs at the half mile i knew how fast the car would be no matter what i did. the gtr's and mustangs, vettes all have greedy boost controllers or laptops running motec ecus and just keep tuning up the wick making more and more hp. nothing i could do with a set file on the car.
sometimes its not a bad thing. i worry about changing tunes and running 1.5 bar forgetting about it and put 93 oct fuel and make a run and pop a 30k motor. im considering a 100% meth setup and bigger turbos for the winter and tune for it. should help me hit 625 rwhp
