I'm trying my best but i gotta chase down this darn vibration from the rear.

I'm hoping it's just the tires needing to be balanced again [Frown]

Best of luck to you guys!

If i can't get my car running i may just head up and vid tape everyone.

By the way Drew do you know of many 03/04's in the 10's besides your customers vert and FoxGT?

FoxGT is also a customer. As far as I know he is the fastest Cobra around and looking to go a lot faster. [Wink]

The only other 2, 10 second 03/04 Cobra's that I know of are JeffS old car, (which is in our shop now getting setup to go low 9's/high 8's), and sean04 who sold his Cobra. Last I heard, the new owner missed some gears and had some P2V contact. He is in the process of building a new motor of some sort.

We'll be leaving the orchard supply parking lot in foster city around 8:30am on saturday. I'm taking up my junk and a couple of buddies with an '03 cobra and a '64 nova.

Trixsnk have you tried someone else's drivshaft to see if that is the problem? The stock one's are notorious shakers. I just had my buddy's 95 go through the same problem and as soon as I let him borrow my FRPP shaft it went away. Good luck!

Oh BTW when the tires get old the inside seperates in the lining and there is no way to get around balancing, just have to get new tires. I asked a few of my buds that work at the tire dealers

Thanks for the advice as that was my next place to take a look ..........but i god the wheels re-balanced and it did turn out to be just that THANK GOD!

Must have tossed a wieght in the burnout box or maybe when i got some wheel hop on 1 of the runs.

Oh well the price you pay to go fast on the IRS [Roll Eyes]

I'm in the process of throwing on the 3.0" pulley and the quest goes on for the 10's

See you guys tomorrow!

How was the track prep? Alot of car's? I really wanted to get up there today but My part's did'nt show up till 3 [Embarrassed] . Did anyone break anything or set any new personal best ET or MPH?

Talk about a great day!

Great turnout very few cars....great weather....even better racing [Big Grin]

Here are the slips.....lots of stuff for me to figure out as the clutch seemed to be slipping on the last pass in the top of 4th which leads me to think that's where i lost a bunch of mph and some et. Clutch was very soft after that pass and just didn't feel like the first pass.

All runs were done with the 3.0" upper pulley and straight VP 100 in the tank.

1st pass:
19* timing just trying to get a feel for the new boost level.

 -

2nd pass:
21* timing best launch ever in the car 4500rpm dump and the best 60 ft ever as well. Sucks that the clutch couldn't hold it up top i'm sure it could have gone deeper into the 10's

 -

Had fun out there and nice to see everyone and congrats to all that ran well as there seemed to be a lot of fast cars out!

Not too sure yet....gotta figure out why the clutch can't hold the hp on the big end [Confused]

I'm thinking i may need a firewall adjuster and will also try a new quadrant (Fiore).

I did some calcs and based on the 1/8 mi mph on the 10.7 pass i should have picked up much more mph out the back to trap more along the lines of 133-136 [Frown] but that pass was semi hot-lapped as the pass right before i missed 3rd and got right back in line.

By the way i've been checking the weather as i'm heading up to Tahoe on the 12th and it's gunna shower i think this coming weekend.

Great day for drag racing. I ran a best of 11.69 at 120mph on my second pass. I ran over a second quicker and 8mph more than my last time out 3 months ago. Stats on my car:

'93 red GT black interior
Art Carr AOD 9" non-lockup converter full manual valve body transbrake
stock driveshaft 3.55 gears
bone stock 164k throttle body to oil pan 302
homemade turbo kit
15psi T-67 / .96 exhaust housing
race weight with driver 3600lbs

I raced a couple of Z06's that day and beat them by at least 4 cars, that felt good [Big Grin] I'm going to up the boost to 20psi and see what happens. I already have a new motor getting built so why not [Razz]

Wow! That was a lot of fun! I will never go out there on a Wednesday again. I could have hot lapped the car if I wanted to on TNT. Money well spent. There was a lot of fast 03/04 cobras. I don't think I saw one that was running slower than high 11's. Just in case anybody wants to know I got the stock SD 87 to run a 13.26 @ 103 with a crappy 1.91 60' , and the only reason I got 103 out of it is because of the 60 deg weather and letting it cool down for about 40 minutes before making a run. If anybody wants to chime in on how to get better 60's let me know! I ditched the front sway bar, put 4cyl springs on it, solid lowers, double adj uppers, and pinion set @ -3. Thanks a lot Kevin for your help!

Hey man cobgrats on the #'s [Whoo Whooooo!]

Those were my buddy's in the Z06's you were beating up on lol. It's ok cuz they weren't running very well....most need a need clutch.

Anyway your car sounds nice with the turbo and i'm sure i got 1 of your 11 sec runs on vid.

The white vert and torch red 03/04 Cobra's were my buddies as well. They had really good days running mid 11's w/ only upper pulleies and no ports [Eek!]

Cool to see a nice group of fast Mustangs at the track [patriot]

Frank

The Black Z06 was on BFG's and the Silver Z06 was in Nitto's.

I've been trying to help them get a good launch technique and i believe they have gotten them into the 1.7x's.

The Silver one was drivin by a friend of mine (Naz)but does not own the car. Plus it has a bunch of stereo stuff and is slammed [Cool]

The Black one (Folsomz06)is Dale's car and he might have gotten it into the high 1.6x's but i'm not 100% sure he may chime in to verify. I'm sure he doesn't mind me saying either that it's got a shot on it but he needs a clutch and new TOB. Sean04 put the kit on for him.

As Patrick stated, I have the black Z06 in the vid on the BFG rubber. The run on the vid was a 1.683 60 ft. I tried to make a pass right after that run and hit a 1.605 60 ft but the pedal was stuck to the floor as i tried to shift into 2nd wouldn't get into gear. Car is setup for nitrous (Thanks to Sean04) but all passes made that day were N/A as my stock clutch will not hold the jump in torque with spray.

Gotta give the Cobra/Mustang bunch that were out there at the TNT love man! If it were a Bowtie vs. Blue Oval day out there, you guys would have laid the smack down us.

Pat - Congrats on the 10 sec driver bro! I remember seeing it in the pits and I was like DAYAM!!!

Just in case anybody wants to know I got the stock SD 87 to run a 13.26 @ 103 with a crappy 1.91 60' , and the only reason I got 103 out of it is because of the 60 deg weather and letting it cool down for about 40 minutes before making a run. If anybody wants to chime in on how to get better 60's let me know! I ditched the front sway bar, put 4cyl springs on it, solid lowers, double adj uppers, and pinion set @ -3. Thanks a lot Kevin for your help!

Was your car the blue LX on slicks? If so, nice car man. Also, you and my buddy, Jackpine50, would be a great race. His car has gone 13.3 @ 103 on a wed. night race. Its mostly stock SD car. Only has O/R exhaust, gears and race crank pulley. [burnout]

Yeah, it was the midnight blue lx on Weld draglite's and MT 8.5 slicks! Mine is almost stock, except for exhuast(w/ cats) and gears(3.73's) and all of the smog equipment! No short belt either! It has some suspension stuff though. The car really feels like it wants to be launched off of the rev limiter. May be i'll get those 60's down to a respectable time. Like 1.7's not 1.9 or 2.0's

You are running solid bushings on your uppers and lowers? If so, your pinion angle should be set around -1 degrees. Also, what was your launch RPM and tire pressure? Let us know when your going to be out at the track again. [patriot]

No! The lowers have polyurethane bushings at each end. The uppers have heim joints on the body attachment. But On the axle end (eyelet upper on axle) I have new rubber bushings. I know when I put in the Double Ajustable uppers in and set the pinion @ -3 the car hooked liked crazy, even on 235-60 15 drag radials. That's why I think I am not leaving with enough RPM. I tried 4,000 on the first luanch. then I tried increasing it by about 500 RPm on the next couple of runs. The last, and best 60 (1.91) I just stuck my foot in the throttle (I'm guessing 4,800). I need a 12 sec timeslip on a stock SD car!!!!!!!!
