WOOO HOOOO!!! Cannot friggen believe it! Talk about exceeding my goal of a 13.7x!!! An electric fan and exhaust and 13.5's, here I come!
Mod's not listed in Sig- C&L 76mm MAF w/ tube, 1.72 rockers (both mods netted nothing when car was an AOD), Flowtech shorty headers- rest of exh. stock. Ran on the American Racer dirt track tires. Not bad for a 101k 5.0, eh?
Chirag was there w/ Project 11.99 ('67Stang), and Victor w/ Project 460 (a '69 Mach 1 w/ crate 460) ran 11.08, Brian in his Vert. did well and Mark in his '01(?) GT also was happy with his results. Chirag almost hit the wall after spinning thru some water or oil on the track and still hit a 12.65 w/ a best of 12.53 with the car detuned for street driving. Enough chatter- need to go get another Coronita...

After the problems with the track earlier in the morning, the afternoon turned out to be pretty damn good for everyone

in order:
12.719 @ 107.070 w/1.774 60ft
12.761 @ 106.973 w/1.797 60ft
12.718 @ 107.038 w/1.775 60ft
12.713 @ 107.214 w/1.778 60ft
12.515 @ 107.952 w/1.683 60ft

The last run was my all-time best (with cats installed) my 12.3x's were all run w/off road H-pipe

Best part was that I DROVE it home !!! (No tow truck needed) LOL

But once I got home and checked on a driveline noise I was hearing on the way home and found that I destroyed ANOTHER front U-joint (just replaced it Thursday !!)
The driveshaft is too long and is binding up when the suspension travels
Time for a shortened driveshaft.

Technically, I have only lost 2.190 mph (110.142 - 107.952)
I am using a Bassani X-pipe w/cats
Also take into consideration that with the extra weight of the steel bellhousing, and TKO which is an extra 74 lbs.
I have no idea if the cats and extra weight slowed me down or not, But at least it is a good excuse

JL

ps- best mph=100.7!

Jim- You're an off road H pipe and electric fan away from 102+ mph traps! Interesting note on the higher shift points, I'll have to try that the next time I go (long time from now). Then again my tired valve train might not like that idea.
