No, I was joking because you said cams, hondas get cams, 5.0 mustangs get a cam I'm not doubting your story, I just though the power seemed a little low, not your problem, his problem It's funny how some combinations work, while others don't do shit. I have never had anything done by Ramsey's, so I won't knock their work, I just wonder if they came up with the combo, or if he walked in one day with a trunk full of parts and said, "put these on my car"

Damn fine written story, and good kill.


I have mucho respect for both Secret Services and Ramseys, have been to both MANY times. Dennis Ramsey is a one hell of a Mustang builder,and SS can do wonderful things on the import side.

Saw your dyno and made me think of Scott's 240 from SS, we had a pretty decent run a while back. Made us both famous, - for a little while.

If you are ever out and about in this area, let me know - would love to run that car.

Yeah, I recall that run. The SS sounded pretty mean.

John, thanks for all your help along the way. I really can't believe I ran into something like that. It was as if everything was meant to be.
