I am finally getting the Stang back out to the track. I ran it last October for the last race of last season, but other than that it has been sitting for almost 2 years.
I pulled the 302 out in November and put a new big bore 347 in it a month ago. I have 450 miles on it now and am going to run it Wednesday. I am so excited to see what it will do! I am a little pissed because my tach is acting up. I am going to have to shift by feel because the tach is bouncing around and going backwards when I hit 5k. This wouldn't be a big deal if I was used to it, but I have only had it over 5k a couple times.
I am running it naturally aspirated for now, so it won't be real quick since it is low comp, has a blower grind cam, and I reused my small Edelbrock 6037 as cast heads, and Cobra intake. I am hoping for a mid 12 at close to 110mph. I haven't had a chance to really beat on it yet and see how it feels because my daughter has been in the car with me for all of these break-in miles that I have put on it. However, I know that it is definitely not as quick as it was last time I ran it with the tired 302 and S-trim which got me an 11.90 @ 113mph. It does feel a lot better than the 302 NA, which got me 12.99 @ 105mph. I will be real happy if I get a 12.30 @ 110mph, but I think that is a stretch.

Good luck Craig. I know it's a nice feeling to have it back on the road again. My car needs to have the new cage certified then I'll be back to race.

Not as fast as I hoped, but pretty good I guess for a boosted combo without the boost. I think that the blower cam with no overlap is really hurting the top end when it doesn't have the blower. Best was a 12.48 @ 107.7mph. It was cool last night, but there was a really strong headwind. I will try a weekend event (which is always faster for some reason) after I get some more miles on it and switch to synthetic.
I did make it to the final last night and ended up with runner-up. My .050 light was no match for my opponent's .005. I ran a 12.51 on a 12.49 and he got me.

I'll be out there next week with it in NA trim. I think that it is going to stay this way for a few months. At least until I have 1000 miles on it and switch to synthetic oil.
I am at 550 now, so if I only drive it to the track and only go out 2 times a month, it will take 3 months to get there. I might dyno it as well to satisfy my curiosity. Then it will get the s-trim and go back on the dyno. Then it will go to the track for some 120+mph runs!

I won last night! Best run was 12.46 @ 108mph and it was still pretty warm out.
