There will be a graph in the article. As far as track times go the 133 trap and a tenth is with 3 more pounds of boost then we're running and through an auto. Not really a fair comparison considering the power difference and the fact that we're running a manual.

I'm not sure what month the blower install/test is in. This month was the bolt on issue so I'm sure it's only a month or so away.
As far as track times go Justin@VMP has already been 10.61@130 with less than 10psi on his TVS and Chris Cruz has been 10.63@133 with his Whipple at 9-10psi. Both cars are Auto's. That should help give you an idea of what others are running with the other positive displacement blower setups.

Turned up the boost a little on the 2.9L and went to the track last night. The results were excellent. 13psi w/C16 and some good driving yielded us our fastest passes yet. [email protected] and the big dog pass of [email protected].
The car hasn't been to the dyno with the added boost so I don't know what type of power it's making but it's definitely faster than before and seems to be working. LOL
Here's a little more info about our visit to the track last night.
Another great night at the track for Team Lethal and our 5.0 Mustang Magazine project car. The cold air finally showed up so we loaded up the 2011 and headed to Palm Beach International Raceway. This time we added a few more lbs of boost and C16 race fuel. The car has a stock motor, 100% stock suspension, stock exhaust manifolds and the stock 6 speed manual. The mods are: 2.9L Whipple supercharger, Whipple 123mm Intake, L&M 66mm throttle body, DSS driveshaft, Mcleod RXT clutch, SCT X3, Bogart drag wheels and of course the driver mod UPR Products Jeremy Martorella and tuner Jon Lund of Lund Racing.
Our first 2 runs of the night blew the tires off at the line. Our 3rd run Jeremy made some adjustments to the launch and cracked off an amazing 1.43 60ft which yielded us our fastest time yet 10.45@133mph. This was granny shifting the car. The run after that Jeremy wanted to powershift the car but the stock chrome shifter knob made it difficult and he missed 3rd gear. For our next run Jeremy swapped out the stock knob for a stock Shelby leather knob which he could get a better grip on.
So the last and final run of the night was made. Jeremy cut a 1.45 60ft and powershifted the car making it look like an automatic. The car ran a [email protected] making it our fastest pass to date.
Even though we may not have reached the limit of the stock block we're going to continue on with our project and start the build. Plans for the car will be a built motor, triple return fuel system using Fore Precision Works products and more boost.
You'll be able to read all about it in the upcoming issues of 5.0 Mustang Magazine thanks to Editor and good friend Steve Turner.
Put the car on the dyno today to check a few things before we hit the track Wed night. The car made some sick power. Stock motor, 2.9L Whipple w/3.50" pulley (13-14psi), ARH longtube headers w/offroad X-pipe and a dual pump return style fuel system. I'm not going to post dyno numbers as that's exclusive to 5.0 Mustang Magazine however I can say that it's definitely 9 second power and I'll have a video up of one of the pulls tonight.
For those who aren't familiar with the rest of our setup it's a stock 6 speed manual car with stock suspension and stock longblock. I guess we'll see how strong she really is Wednesday night.
