You're also probably making a minimum of 100 more hp than he is too.

What are you making with that set up? 550 hp?

I'm guessing significantly less than what the OP has in his car. I hate to disappoint you, but if I got beat by a car that was modified to the moon such as the OP's, I can't say my feelings would be hurt. Speed is just a function of the size of your wallet.

There is more than just "headers and an intake" to the new BOSS 302. The heads are CNC'd and highly refined to handle the increased revs behind the engine, as well as a number of changes.
The Roadrunner(the 302 in the Boss) is a completely different engine than the Coyote is. Different heads, different pistons/rods, different oil pan, intake manifold, different cams, etc. The biggest and one of the only things both engines have in common is the block, that's it.

More like 3600 lbs. The GT500s might weigh that much, but the Boss and the GT don't.

Still, a win is a win. Congrats.

That is what the Boss was designed for, right?

Gees, where did you get that weight from??? Fords PDF file says the stick weighs 3603lb and the auto 3650.

If both the Boss 302 and the LS models weigh less, there's some serious difference. In my Camaro, same day, same track, my granddaughter runs my Camaro 1/10th second faster than I and she's exactly 100 lbs lighter than I. We run consistently 1/10th difference. My Camaro weighs exactly 3820 lbs (got rid of the garbage can axle backs and resonator).

Nice win. Don't sweat the fan boys. Honestly I'm really disappointed from the boss numbers I got long tube headers and no cam no sc and ran 12.4 @118 on fayettevilles 1/4 on stock tires. Hit that number twice...love these cars, thanks for the vid post!
