Played with a new 5.0

Never got to line up next to him or go off side by side. I was behind him on an on ramp and as soon as we got to the freeway he nailed it. I was pretty surprised by how quick a ran up on him. He knew I was on him, so I doubt he was part throttle. What do they typically trap stock? I was only running 20#'s of boost which is stock turbo territory, so I thought he'd give me a good run. Oh well.

They run high twelves, very low 13s stock.

Re: Played with a new 5.0

He said stock turbo territory. This is not the same as stock boost or stock Turbo.

He means the stock turbo can push that.

Stock TTA = 16.5#'s Stock turbo will work well up to ~22#'s with a few mods.
