Happy Mustang !!

I really liked the idea of using the factory fuel system at first, but I'm less warm about it atm. I understand the weight benefit, but at today's prices that is some expensive ballast...and it would keep disappearing lol! It could still happen tho. How far under the index is your car atm?

On a down hill track with a tail wind and radials in good air, it would run .70 under through the mufflers.
I do alot of local bracket racing, on pump gas, 120 lbs heavy on bias tires at .30-.40 under.
