700ho for track use. Lol. That's funny. That is the one reason I haven't stepped my power up. I can't imagine being able to put that power down with any use at the track. 500HP can be a bear. Unless you drag race on drag slicks.

500whp +/- for these cars ( without messing with internals ) is the sweet spot.

Hamilton996 has a spectacular aura about

Ricky I did a 560 awhp on mustang dyno which I guess is about 700 to 750 crank with 91 and meth using GIAC Gt 28 tune. You can take a look what I have.

it's been suggested the the MAP and injectors plus the retune might give me another almost 40hp with 50 pounds of torque. that's something I might consider. IC's are probably more than I want to do or spend
