2004 e46 M3, 6spd i think (he chirped 2nd and 3rd)
it was midnight and i was leaving tgi fridays with a couple friends when i saw him haulin hiney outa the parkin lot. i followed, driftin behind him on a u turn, and we stopped at the light next to each other.
we gunned it from a stop, and i had bout a car and a half on him by 70...what a rush!
o ya, i also had more than 500lbs of passengers (1 big guy, one medium guy), completely full tank, spare in the car, and i granny-shifted the 1-2 to not chirp too much.
he was PO'd, and it felt great for me cuz he had his girl in the car and its fun to embarass guys in 55k$ cars in front of their gf's haha

Yeah, from a start I wouldn't be so scared, especially with your mods. But I doubt the mustang would be a serious contender dippin on the highway. Not that I would condone that or anything.

and yes, those mods (4.10s, steeda pullies, jlt, and dyno tune) are worth every penny of the 1400 they cost me ;-)

My brain might be making things up, but I remember reading somewhere that its really bad to put pullies on an 05. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Thanks.

When you drop on an aftermarket pulley set, the damper is lighter, sometimes dramatically so. Other factors may differ as well such as the type and amount of elastomer between the hub and outer ring.
It's pretty much guaranteed an aftermarket balancer won't work as well as a factory one in this application, so it's up to you if you want to take the risk.
At least this isn't like the BMW guys who were tossing the balancer alltogether in order to fit a lightweight aluminum pulley.
