And FYI, the reason why most of us Camaro guys don't go to Mustang sites is because all the Mustang guys are already on our sites.
Damn Mustang guys; first everywhere. ;-)

Ive been saying all along that this car has a BETTER power to weight ratio than a C6Z. So 125-130mph shouldnt shock anyone. I was just surprised at first to hear that the car went 127 out of the gate yesterday, but now i know it wasnt done yesterday but at earlier testing. Totally believable.

This car will go 10's just like a C6Z with nothing more than a tire.

I will be going with the VMP. Im going to wait a little though. The factory 2013 GT500 TVS is just like the VMP and might end up being alot cheaper. The VMP prices might go down because of that too.

The FRPP wont make enough power for me unless I port it. I dont feel like doing that.

Why not the FRPP 2.9 Whipple?

If your goal is around 17psi, a VMP TVS is a good choice. It will make similar hp to a whipple but more tq. If you plan on more boost, the whipple and KB will shine. It makes a solid 650rwhp/650rwtq on a stock car.

Isnt it a 2.3 that comes on the 2013? And isnt it about 16psi from the factory? Im guessing the 2013 will dyno around 550-580rwhp. So how will this blower make 650rwhp at 17psi? Just curious.
