So this ass sends me an email about my car. I'm at a loss for words on people's stupidity. Don't worry he was put in his place. I sent him a link to a calculator for speeds at rpms with gear ratios. And sent him a video of a mustang with a 347, a C4 and with a 4.56 gear running low tens all motor. My built 347 engine is what hes talking about. Here is what he wrote.
To be honest it's said to say that you were only able to make 500hp after everything that you put into this motor. I hand built the same motor with forged JE pistons rods and crank with stock GT40P heads and intake 80mm throttle body stock distributor and electronics and made 540. Let alone you said you ran 10.9 in a quarter mile with a C4 with impossible with 4:10 gears. I know this cause I always had 4:10 with a Detroit locker and 31 spline moser axels and was running 60 mph at 2800 rpms. A C4 is a 3 speed trans. I have picture to prove it and a formula to prove this as well. If you were a ford guy or even ASE certified you would know about it.
