Who ever said you have a chance at your current mod level is dreaming. The 5.0 is just nasty with the right tune. Bolt on car vs bolt on car is just not going to cut it. For 1 thing they have a SRA and ability to run a 15inch DR or slick. The car is also a good amount lighter. When tuned properly its like adding a small cam because of the changes they can make with valve events. Plenty of mid 11's full bolt on 5.0's with no interior weight reduction to back that claim up. Try to beat him without pulling any seats out. If your son wises up and puts a suspension under that thing with some 15inch slicks or drag radials and launches it well cutting a 1.6 60ft he will be in the mid 11's and that will be trouble for you even with a cam. I myself have thought about getting a Coyote Mustang auto and bolting on LT's, stall, gears, suspension, big and little wheels, and a tune. With that combo it would be a easy mid 11's car.
