It was good being back out at the track tonight. I haven't been frequenting the track nearly enough lately because of the amount of work at the shop, but nights like tonight almost make it all worth it. Just wish I could be out in my own car!


It was nice to see all the old faces and meet some new ones. I enjoyed the wide spread turn out.

Also, I was very entertained by the guys formerly known as the "Primered Stangs"....lol Great racing guys and the cars look/run awesome.

I had a good time watching tonight but wish I was running. Lots of nice cars out. The turbo AED fox & the TT grand national were both sick. StreakMatt's Fox has still have to be one of the most impressive out there though just because not many others are running 10.40's @ 136 with a manual transmission....The orange with white stripes Blown fox was impressive too....

I agree with all of your picks. Our turbo car was on its second time to the track in 5+ years and with a brand new combo. So we were kinda doing shake down runs....lol We ran it on Friday night and it was pretty consistent, but tonight it seemed like we either got a good 60ft, or some freak thing happend with the MSD Programmable ignition in high gear. Either way, the car ran great for the boost it's pushing!

For sure...What was its best time & what is the motor combo & how many #'s of boost? The car is clean as hell BTW....

The best pass was a 10.29 I believe, but again, the car did "flutter" in high gear and MPH was way down.

I'm really not sure if JeffS wan't everyone to know of the boost level yet, so I will leave that to him to post. But it is a 331 and yes, clean as hell.

Take the shute off that car please lol. The shoot made you expect something and in return get nothing. I think the "primered" hatch could get a little more if it didnt swing right when launching, it does it so hard I always think hes gonna abort the pass then POW! 10.40S! p.s. that was a nice pit dude had huh? pss You ex primered guys are really cool dudes I think I like ya.

P.S. the car I have for you is almost ready. A tad bit of wiring and fuel lines. And it didnt end up as ugly as I thought LOL.

The facts are posted. From those facts you should know the car is bad ass with a bunch left in it. If your friend can't justify that, how good of a friend is he?

The only change I made power wise was going to a 2.95 pulley on the S-Trim. With the stock 3.33 pulley I was trapping 132-133, now i'm going 135-136. Feels good to finally be able to pass Tech inspection and be legal! Even though I forgot my fire jacket at home last night I'm going to be ordering some 26x10x15 ET Drags for the next time out, hopefully that will help the 60's a little more.

Thanks bro. Yeah I seen your coupe when I first got there then the next time I seen it, it was on the trailor. Are you gonna stay 5-speed or go auto??
I'm running a rebuilt Tremec 3550. It seems to be holding together so far, but I don't powershift at all. I lift on every gear change.

I cant see my self driving a 3 spd auto on the street w/ a 5500 stall @ a red light this thing already is a cop/hwy patrol magnet where I stay. I want to stay 5 or maybe go 6 spd but not sure wich one to put in . I jus aint tryin to do shit twice ($,$$$ ).

Dam, lifting on every gear? Lol put your FOOT in it man or let me drive it . Nah, but 136 mph SHOW/STREET car & lifing off the gas .

Yeah I feel you on the auto, thats why I'm staying 5 speed. You definitely don't want to do it twice, F' that. Do your research and you will find what you need. Like you said its all about how much you want to spend. Yup lifting is the only way to make this thing last. I like to think I do it pretty fast though ..I had the stock T-5 in my stock bottom end 302 H/C/I last for like 250-300 passes including 30+ 10.6-10.7 runs, I lifted on all of those as well. Thanks for the props man, I appreciate it. Too bad the guy from the Maro Boyz didn't show up, I could have gave him some warm up runs since you were down

Looking forward to Sat. September 13 Grudge Fest. Hope to see everyone out in force again. I will start a thread for it when it gets near.

Right on man, you're the only one who gets it around here. For that matter, why did Chris Chow have a chute on his car? His was only running 10s too!

If you're going to go to the track, go all out! Who cares about tuning and dialing in suspension. I say if its a brand new, adjustable suspension go to max boost and just try to go deep 8s from the get-go and you'll save yourself a bunch of time! Us spectators want a show!
