I will not be spraying it this year. I gotta save something for next year lol.

I have a Edlebrock RPM Performer plate kit I plan on putting on over the winter. It will go up to a 250 shot. We will start out with the 100 pills and play with that for a month or so and go from there. I also have a NX Maximizer progressive controller to use with it and it will have a 1 gallon stand alone fuel cell.

I will switch to a 3.73 or maybe 4.10 for the juice and maybe the converter. It is around 4500+ on the stall.


My goal is to run N/A this year and crack into the 9's. And maybe next year sneak into the 8's

I got the quick fuel 850 carb in today and started getting it on. I will finish it up tomorrow when the new fittings get here but here is a sucky cell phone pic.

5-8-2009

I got the carb finished up today and just happened to be tnt night. We took it to the track and it went 10.17@130 and 10.18@130 on the first two runs.

The plug looked lean so we jetted it up 2 and it fell off to 10.30@129.

I didn't get a chance to make any other adjustments after that.

Man I had a major dum *** attack yesterday. My buddies calls me up and says, hey will you run down to napa and try to get some discount tickets for pinks all out? I said cool I was just chilling after putting the decals on the mustang for pinks, so no big deal! But napa was closing in 10 min. But I'm like 4 min from there.
So I hurry up and close the shop up and jumped in the mustang and fired it up, got buckled in and pulled off to napa. All was good getting on the road. Checking all my gauges like always, feeling the car out.

All the sudden..Wham, the hood fly's up in my face. Oh **** I forgot to put the pins back in!!!! It came back and smoked the cowl. Demolished the plastic grill and totally bent the hell out of the metal. The hood has minor niks and chips on the edge of the cowl part. I was so pissed for forgetting the pins.
I drove it back to my shop after going to napa and getting zero tickets. Yeah right! pulled it in and my wife comes over to the shop, she didn't see it at first but once I showed her she bout **** herself. My buddie cam over to see if I got the tickets when he got off work. I bout slapped him for rushing me. Even though it was my stupidity. I took off the broken grill and the window trim then took the 10 lbs slide hammer to it to get the metal pulled back out close enuff to hammer and dolly the metal to were it was muddable.

We got it repaird today and painted tonight. I just repaired the cowl for now. the hood I can touch up and buff out. And my buddy had a grill for the cowl panel. So tomorrow it will look like it never happened.

I can laugh about it now! But I about **** my pants when it happened. I was only doing about 35 mph.

I know this was long, but I also know a lot of you have been there before. Thanks for reading.. Sorry, no pics. I started pulling it out as soon as I got back.

A few pics frome pinks all out in Indy.

We are putting a 4.10 gear in the car next week to see if it picks up a little bit. The car is crossing the stripe at 7500 rpm's and seems to be out of the meat of the power range.
From 7 to 7500 it is just kind of level, not really pulling as hard. Anothet setup like mine on here is trapping 135-137 at 7000rpm's.

i'd like to see 135 mph out of the car.

7-17-2009

Well I put the 4.10 in it but have not been able to fully test it. We went one day and the car was sputtering down track. it took 5 runs to figure out the fuel filter was clogged with plastic shavings. Once we clean it out we got one last run in.


10.35@129 1.45 60'. The track was ****. A lot of street cars there that day.

looking forward to cool air this fall.

The car is more streetable with the 4.10's.

10-22-2009

I gotta pb tonight of 1.41 60'[email protected] 1/8- [email protected] at the traps. It's getting there. I just need to find the right settings on the shocks and carb.

A few pics I finally got around to uploading from the LSX shootout. The guy shot about 10 pics of my car over the weekend. These are the only two I bought from them.

The NMCA results from Memphis are posted in there Fastest Street Car magizie. I did pretty good compared to the rest of the index classes. Hopefully I can go for the 10.00 index. And the event has moved to St.louis, MO at Gate Way International Raceway.

The motor and tranny are out and the new setup is under way. I'm switching to a super victor intake, changing the cam to a custom grind spec'd by Patrick G, it will be a solid roller. We are putting the Edlebrock nitrious plate kit on it with a nano bottle and dedicated fuel pump for the system. I'm also going to get the chassis cert done before spring so that is one less thing to worry about. I will wait til we spray it to get the liceinsing done.
