You are correct when modded after replacing the cam and lifters but in stock or near stock form we are at a big disadvantage. A stalled auto is always going to have a advantage over the same car with a stick (same mods of course) but the new stang auto will have aftermarket stall converters too. I dont think people realize how small the L99 cam is and how much its holding us back. A MILD, MILD cam change on a L99 gets around 70FWHP.
