Well, like you said, shifting harder/quicker may have netted you 1-2 carlengths.. also, not bogging the launch ( launching around 4000-4500RPMS) would have gained you quite a lead.
Stealth R/T TT vs. 1990 5.0 Mustang
Alright, for those of you who remember me killing my own Mustang, well now I had a crack at another one. Actually it's my best friend's Stang, so there were no hard feelings 
We're both Mustang Fanatic's I guess. Anyways, we line up and I count down from three. I build up some boost and dump it at 3500... Oops...bogged it down a bit, no matter I'm off and he's just squeling like a pig sent to the butcher I shifted easy because I knew the race was mine. In my mirror, I see his car hop with every shift,...so cool looking!!! Unfortunately, his car was only like 3-4 lengths behind me at 100!!!! What the hell is that? And his is STOCK. I was rather disspointed with the Stealth. And for the record, my Mustang whoops his pretty bad. So if his keeps up with the stealth...that shouldn't my Mustang beat my Stealth? Maybe my friend didn't know how drive my stang.... One of these days a strip test will have to settle the matter. Off topic I know, but are there any consequences in running 14 psi on a car with just FIPK? (has the magnecor plugs and Delco platinum plugs)

3 or 4 lengths is not enough ?
especially with a lazy / bogged launch ? ?
As you will find out when you have a little more ownership time under your belt, alot of our strength comes from our ability to get a great jump on the opponent out of the hole . . with you still winning by that margin against the 5.0, the car you have is strong.
You are still stock too, no ?

At 14, you should . .with a proper launch You might be fairly close to that right now.
Open the cats up too . . the pre's and the main. Downpipe would help, too.

Money is a little tight right now so there won't be a downpipe. The cats, I forgot to mention them. I'm doing the pre's this weekend too Thanks for the advice man, any other tips?
