So I bought my 4th syty the other day and my buddy calls at 2:00 am to run my Syclone since every car ive had since high school has spanked his mustang. Just recently he went from a 302 to a 331 stroker and has gone from 320hp to 430hp or so. My Syclone is stock except the 3" catback exhaust so im pushing maybe 290hp. So we probably ran 20 or so times and the first 4 or 5 were from a stop and Iike usual I put 5 or 6 cars on him and he never pulled. To even things out I ran him from a 25 roll but with my de-tint set so low the truck was shifting too early and the exhaust caused it to over boost and cut out (stock chip). Well at this point he thought his car was faster from a roll so I tried another approach. This time I went from about a 15mph roll and held it in first while brake boosting. I immediately took off from him not completely using my awd advantage and was able to fair and square pull away from him. Not sure what his extra 120hp+ was doing this whole time but for as close as our cars are I cant imagine how bad I would spank him with if we were making the same power or even in the same neighborhood. Whats bad is his car even has a 600lb weight advantage on me but even worse, every time I passed him he got to look at the "MUSTANGS SUCK" decal on the back of my window lol.

Nice kill. Not sure what your Sy weighs, but 65 mustang bone stock off the line, weigh 2500-2650lbs.
If hes got a 331 stroker, he probably has aluminum heads and other weight savers. If your truck is stock, you've got about 800lbs on him. Roughly

His car is 100% factory original appearing but he does have a built 331 motor with AFR heads which i imagine are aluminum. So he does have a huge weight and power advantage over me just. When we had the around the same power it wasnt even close even from a rolling start, I dont think we will be friends anymore once im making the same power and put another 15 cars on him again lol.
