I dunno. My friend has an 05 with an SC and some juice and he puts down well over 500. He took out my other friend's SRT4 that runs 11's at over 120.
That is very impressive! The "x-factor" in what you said is "juice". Depending on the "shot" that can be a very potent factor. I am pretty sure that this '05 s/c Mustang I ran against didn't have nitrous. He is the vid though:

if you still have your stock wheels just put some nice rubber on them and only use it for track days.
I sold my OEM wheels shortly after buying my Volks. I recently bought some AP1 rear wheels. My intention is to put some slicks on them after I have done the R200 conversion. If I run slicks prior to this conversion I know that I will break the rear diff.

I think it was a small shot on my friend's car.

What did the 'stang trap?

Yes, I still have the 4.57-Rs. When I go with the R200 diff, which has a 300ZX FD, I'll end up with a 4.09 FD. They do not whine that bad at all. The 4.57-R = 4.56 (just renamed).

I was considering the 4.57's but i heard it's not very good when boostin' alot.I'm just running a stock Vortech right now but may considering upgrading boost soon.

On low boost, I have heard that this combo is pretty potent. It is working pretty well for me right now.
