It sucks to say but, the stock 302 block is weak. The new boss block would be the perfect starter block which are 1500-1600 bucks right now.

there are so many diff ways to go with this...you can build a 10 sec stang for about 10,000 thats reliable. Or less if you want to push the envelope. I have about 25,000 to 30,000 in mine now(including original cost of the car), with all the changes it has gone through since 2000.

wondered when you were going to post LOL

Ill get you next time lol

At least I beat you when it counted

 

I may have get the spray out for your old ass...hehehe

Your car was leaving hard..

 

 

thanks

new anti roll bar and drag radials.......... ftw

awesome movie

1.46 60' ....better than ray...lol

10.27 @ 131 with a 1.46 60'

 

Pretty sure Jack, who took clarks spot....(jelloman) had a 0.0 light

Your RX7 will be there, Erik. Even if I have to drag it with the Formula

 

 

the formula does sound like a truck...might as well use it like one...hehehe

I actually never toasted the hyper pistons, i sprayed up to 150 all day on a 80000 mile stock short block with performer heads and intake efi. The shortblock was fine when i pulled it. Never had it tuned, did have a anderson PMS for a while but that was just to pull timing and eliminate rev limiter it actually slowed the car down, I just ran ngk 7's in it and checked em each pass. It ran as good as 11.35. I still have the stock pistons and rods with new rings sitting in a drawer in my garage. Just no stock bore blocks to put them in. I put a 306 in then with a 225 shot carb'd. It lasted a season till i pulled the top off of two pistons.

I was going to get it for you.... Someone told me you were going to get burned by a mullet-mobile lol!

 

 

Maybe by a nitrous backfire.....thats about it.

you won't need one....lol

you got till 11.49 for a cage...they might make you wear a jacket if you dip into the 11's with your helmet and driveshaft loop

They responded that the speed channel has not signed anymore episodes to be taped of pinks.

Your in....you have to annoy rich so much he says look your crew is gonna lose this for you..hehehe

Ok I emailed pinks to see if I can get the hornet on. I believe it's a perfect destiny for it. Alot of spray and prayers. Waiting to see what they say.

i know the cranes will if you clearance the oil baffle...not sure about t&d.

when i used the recommended settings it was fat already.

seen it....quite fast

Also, I know spelling and sentence structure owns me.

To me the safety issue is a wash. Racing at the track is dangerous. Racing on the street is dangerous. Racing is dangerous.

 

Racing at the track offers me zero in the way of competition but provides me a little slip of paper for all of my time and money. It tells me I suck for the money and time invested or maybe some of it was worth it. Either way, it doesnt make me feel any better about getting half-tracked by the 8-second Nova I was "Racing" or finishing before the stock '89 Tempo even reached the 60-ft mark. I dunno, call me crazy. I haven't "Got it" in all the years I have been into cars and doubt I ever will.

 

Drag racing at the track is like waiting in line 3 hours for that Power Tower at Cedar Point. It drops straight down. It feels cool for maybe a second or two. Its over. I walk away in complete and total disbelief that I just wasted 3 hours of my life for that lol. Now if every time I went out it was like a private day where you could easily get 10-15 passes in and feel like you actually learned something (Working on launches and shift points and tunes etc etc) that would be a different story.

I agree that the test and tune events do take a while. But to just group all track racing into this statement is like saying every street racer has nawwwsss. Every track offers different test and tunes, events, and bracket nights. I am sure you could build a car through your work to fit into a class that you could have fun racing in. Yes racing is dangerous but, you can run 140 at the track and not worry about another car coming out in front of you, shit in the road...i could go on and on. You could easily go up to dragway 42 or MCIR or Norwalk on a test and tune night and get lined up against who you want to race easily. Ask Jason or Mark, who knows how many times they race each other at MCIR. Just saying don't take shitty times at trails and dump on all of drag racing.

No radiator?

TAKE YOUR LOGIC OUT OF HERE!!!

 

btw: fastest/quickest stock bottom = I'll claim this until I blow up my block and join the " I'm another forged motor guy" club... true story. (yes i'm talking about myself)

 

 

I have a SHO nitrous express nozzle that will spray 400 through a single shot.

LOL @ "its sunny outside"

 

Edit:

But seriously, since none of us have roll bars how are we going to race May 2nd???... Best 1/8????.. We only get one glory pass ya know.

 

 

You sure you want to call that...heheheh. I'm your huckleberry.

pro 5.0 or b&m ripper...both great
