Shane McAlary's Black Bird Vega on Street Outlaws was pretty fast. Too bad he crashed it in June.
10.5 outlaw is a class I love to watch. Never seen much of the street outlaw but I am assuming it basically the same class
I have a 91' mustang gt, I blew up the stock 302 years ago and finally ended up putting in a 347 stroker motor from Summit Racing. I have her dialed in pretty well, I haven't dyno tested it or anything yet but according to their charts it's supposed to be around 525-550hp. Giant Ford aluminum racing heads, 10:1 pistons, giant intake, ect, ect...lots of other goodies. ( I can post full parts list if interested...what I can remember anyway. lol) With a Muncie 4 speed and a 4:10 posi rear end.
The motor sat on the stand for almost 3 years getting pieced together VERY slowly. lol (sorry for the poor photography)
Then another year in the car before I could afford to finish it.
I finally finished it this spring and currently have around 500 miles on the motor...not even broke in yet and it already scares the s**t out of me. hahaha

He already has another Vega in the works. Going to be faster and better.

That is awesome. I remember it took me a year to rebuild the motor on my mustang.I have a 91' mustang gt, I blew up the stock 302 years ago and finally ended up putting in a 347 stroker motor from Summit Racing.

Buddy I work with just put down 750 at the wheels and 880 with a 100shot in his 03 cobra
I do have a 200 shot nos set up but I don't think these little ford blocks can handle the torque for too long. (and I don't want to change the pistons back again) Ford's recommended max for this block is only 450hp. I have an old 390 that I'm going to start working on next spring...no idea what I'm going to put it in yet though.
I just saw this show for the first time a couple weeks ago! I wish I had Discovery channel to watch more. I raced with alot of the LA guys years ago. As a matter of fact, Donnie with yellow Vega kinda inspired me to build MY Vega, He's a wizard with those cars. We used to hang out a lot.
