Whats up bud? Quick question for you> did you fit your K member G load brace with the Canton oil pan? I made mine fit but it hangs really low and I am bottoming out everywhere! I think I'm just going to put on the smaller brace from the coupes?
I talked to Griggs and they said its just for cowl shake> but that will happen wether you have it on or not.
Thanks bud.
later.

Nah it wasnt wkdss or w/e it was my buddy Jason, he doesnt post on here but its a 2001 SS with 4.10, air lid, and slp exhaust. Thats it, we were surprised we were keeping up too because he has know pull with those gears at top end. It was a good time though maybe you guys can run a quarter though it would be a great race, thats where his power is at the start at low speed. Later man. Post the next time you are going to be out in Livermore and i'll get him to come on out.

Cool> I'll let you know when I get tuned> them we'll make some real runs! Cobras dont wake up untill 5000 and shine at 7000+
It was nice to meet you guys> I'm sure we'll have some more fun in the future!
What is his best time at the track? Thats a fast car for the minimal mods he has done> thats awesome!
Take it easy.

A low 13sec 1/4 on the G-Tech but never real quarter runs at a track. He just a real good driver. See ya round man. By the way the stang is sick! I reminded him he got tore up by the stang hehe. He really never loses that was the first i had ever seen.

Ha ha> that was hella fun> I think he may need some NOS for after my tune> I dont think I'll stop at 7000r's if I run him again> he was damn close when I was shifting at 5000!
I'll let you know when I tune then we'll go for a rematch
Hey> Maybe him and VortechSaleen should run? That might be a good run?
Later dude.

91SLEEPER, and with those mods.. he's probably making a good... 320+rwhp... he should be running in the 12's.. I just had my cobra dyno'd...

271rwhp 270tq... and my best so for on drag radials is 12.93... and I felt i could have pulled a 12.8x if I had one MORE run that day...

but hey, it's all good.. if you're fast you're fast... 12.9 isn't that fast to me.... 11's would be good...
 

Posted by VortechSaleen (Member # 316) on :
 
Don't forget I have to shift before 5k also I may not be a Cobra, but Mr. Vortech also likes to be wound up all the way too I'll need all the RPM I can get against the SS.
 
Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :
 
VortechSaleen> with your fuel system> Its all good
How is that thing coming along? Any word?
 
Posted by VortechSaleen (Member # 316) on :
 
What's up man, no word yet. I think they did a test run some time last week but haven't heard anything from Bill....probaby no good news yet. I'll call him tomorrow and see what's up. In the meantime, I'm thinking of some LT's What short pipe are you running?

How many more miles till a thousand?

I thought someone said something about this SS having NOS? Well then if it is NA than there is no reason this Chevy should be keeping up with us Fords? Well it sounds like we have some up comming runs lined up. Please don't forget about the old school rides "Injected66" Peace

Holy shit?...did you talk to Robert lately or something, how did you find out? I still haven't talked to Bill yet to ask about how that went...I just emailed him a couple minutes ago. I don't know if I want to touch 500RW w/ these internals.

I wouldnt go over 420rwhp> its about to blow near or over 450> but with a built motor> its gonna be a runner!
Intake went well. Talked to him yesterday> give him a call!

The 12's i dont know about all that but for it being a pretty much stock SS with 4.10's, air lid, and slp exhaust it is super fast!
If you guys are going to start coming out now let me know so i can call my buddys.

Harold, just spoke w/ him....a 52RWHP gain!! thats nuts. It'll be a while till it's official though. But in the meantime, he's working on my quote for the rebuild. Basically the same components yours took except their doing the cams and heads. When it's actually going to be done depends on the damage it's going to cost
 
Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :
 
VortechSaleen> Sweet! Keep me posted bro

91sleeper> we dont frequent the runs often> every once in a while we will go out to watch.
I'll let you know next time we're in that area

Cool man sounds good i'll be looking forward to hearing from u

Hey Harold! Congrats on the car. What intake are you guys talking about?
 

Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :
 
There is an intake for the 99+ 2 valves that is soon to be out> I will e mail you now with some more info> first test gained 53hp!
 
Posted by VortechSaleen (Member # 316) on :
 
3rd gear this time!!...helluva lot closer than last time...but still got walked Once again it was fun
 
Posted by WIKD 281 (Member # 40) on :
 
Nice I was wondering why you were keeping up so well! I think I'm going to need a 50 shot to reach my goal of 600rwhp> I think its going to be close? I was told a 50shot would be more like 100 at the wheels I think I will be happy with 589 at the wheels> because then I can add ice to the cooler and go over 600rw? Watcha think

hey was up
just wondering what intake is this couse in thinking of buying a bullit intake but if there is a better one coming out i might wait can you send me the info
thanks
 

Posted by VortechSaleen (Member # 316) on :
 
Dam, 600RWHP is already about 700HP that's nuts. If the nitrous won't hurt...why not Have you made an appointment for the tune yet? You can probably make it now and by the time it comes you'll have 1k?

I figured I had to try something different last night. Obviously my 4th gear against yours wasn't pretty...I guess I had to cheat I think my clutch is going...shifting from 3rd to 4th last night I felt a big lag then finally picked up. I'm close to 9k miles, is that about right for the stock Ford to crap out?

The intake is still in a real early prototype stage. I don't expect anything soon atleast for 3-4 months.

You may have been experiencing problems with your clutch> it all depends on how much you have slipped it in the past> might be time for a dual Kevlar? You could of been feeling belt slip> that is possible as well.

99UJSTLST> e-mail me and I will give you some more info> did you still need the info. on the feul system> I can explain it at the meet/cruise at the end of the month if you would like?
