Hey all- What is out there as far as competitive drag racing (for money) short of pro-stock? Is the mustang NMRA class system the easiest and most affordable to get into? In my head I see street tires or maybe drag radials, stick shift, weight minimums, index style, small block/big block classes for NA and power adder, receipts would be nice as well for parts/time invested. Spending 100K to win 1K, going 8 rounds at trails bracket racing for a piece of plastic that you won because the other guy red lighted in the finals, staying up until 3am to risk going to jail for some unregulated freeway 3rd honk deal with guys running sticky tires on the street after it just rained (in mexico years ago), or getting up at the crack of dawn to polish your brains out to go admire each and others cars parked next to each other turned off in some lot just doesn't work for me anymore. I guess I could spend a lot of money on my car with no plans for hooking it or stopping it and then bench race with my dyno numbers on the interweb? No offense to anyone out there- I have done all of these things before other than the 100K- more like 20K to win nothing (it was a sweet car though) and lost more than half when I sold it :-( There has to be others out there that love cars and hp and want a realistic chance at winning some money and at the minimum having some honest fun. I guess this most recent track day in september against cleveland/cincy is the closest thing I have ever seen like this... Comments/suggestions?

My mustang had a diverter valve on the intake piping with the supercharger but it was not adjustable and I never heard anything if I slammed the throttle shut on shifts- I guess I should have played around with it more to see if I could bleed the boost off to stock- but I guess that plays into the map control as you are after the MAF so how will the engine know how to change the fuel...

neither- get an evo and take it to that buschur guy.

Hey all- Is it possible to blow-off the boost through some sort of a wastegate on a centrifugal supercharger system so you can have a stock to wild setup depending on how you adjust the wastegate like with turbos?

nevermind I see they are 2 second brackets

Why not make it index style with the same ranges instead of bracket racing ? Just curious why noone likes index racing?

Dude that is an amazingly efficient ride you have there! My '90 5.0 had trickflow heads, same cam, trickflow street heat intake, a 5.7 psi supercharger, shorties, offroad H, no AC, a fully built 3.73 eaton 31 spline rear, and was a lighter coupe body style and it only trapped 114! Mine had a worn out suspension true and only 60' 1.9x with mild launches but MPH is MPH I thought! Mine dynoed 362/365 to the tire. Who ported the heads and intake? Tmoss? Bump!

You sir are talented.

Price dropped to 8,600.00

Wow- the market is slow.

likely a small tear/sprain in your infraspinatus muscle.

05R is drag radial. 05 is a street/road racing tire.

I have Nitto NT-05s on my c5z that hook pretty well actually but I am stock at probably 340-360 to the tire on 295s. If I dead hammer it below 60 degrees they will spin but if I ease into it and then hammer it they spin slightly then stick. Above 70 degrees they don't spin at all with a proper application of throttle to wot probably at 25-30% through first.

Put one of the Ti Z06 catbacks on there- I think they sound sweet modified or unmodified and they are LIGHT as you know.

I wish I still had my notch to put this baby on.

300 hp 1000 lbs? What are they currently? Ok found it---- honda V8 650 hp 1500 lbs... that sounds like a downgrade to me. 2.3 lbs/hp vs 3.3 That is what a 30 % decrease??

That's my 7 series- its tight eh? Federated is like national trails bro.

If you have a diesel PM me and I will give you the details.

COOKIE 4 U! ;-)

Hey all, I am looking for someone with a diesel generator/car/lawnmower/etc that they would be willing to try something for me with. I was going to buy an 86 rabbit on craigslist but the wife doesn't want another car in the driveway and the guy didn't even call me back. Please pm me for details Thanks, Andrew
