y2k2gt Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I installed the turbos and drove my car to the track. I had on my regular street tires that are not drag radials.I was shifting before 6000rpm and coasting from the 1/8 on. I haven't got the car retuned yet is the reason for shifting early and running only the 1/8. I did have it full of 110 octane. I was leaving with the foot brake. This was with 16psi. I can't wait to get it tuned and shift at 7000rpm. The new turbos with the .63 a/r exhaust housings take a little longer to spool up as you can hear it in the video. I was using my street tires and the 60's were 2.0's. My 60's with racing tires are in 1.60's. The last video you can hear the bov a couple times. That is when it started to spin and I had to peddled it. Ken at MDmotorsports will be tuning the car on the 9th. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/th_100_0150.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/th_100_0146.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t165/y2k2gt/th_100_0143.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thekingofcrunk17 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I don't know much about fords, but I would want a older 5.0L mustang, mainly for the cheaper price and I would believe they are lighter. You think that would work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k2gt Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 What kind of times are you seeing in the 1/8th? Car sounds mean! The quickest last night was only 7.68@99. Once I get it tuned it should be in the mid 6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRocket1647545505 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Nice job Eddie! I saw you go flying around the corner by my house to head up Walnut Creek Pike. I figured you were heading to the track. Also heard you lay into it a little ways up the road and it made me smile a lil bit. lol. Car sounds great.

I think when you saw me I was trying to get away from a ashville cop. I was driving down main street and got on it a little bit and then saw the cop. He was kinda running to his car after he saw me, so I cut through the side streets to get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
