dpracer Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hey guys (...and gals). My name is Dan. I've been drag racing since I was 16, and now I'm 34... so I guess you can say that i'm truly an addict by now. Anyway, I've heard about this site and wanted to check it out. Here are a few shots of my Stang. Can't wait to meet you guys. http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm419/93racestang/DSC00691.jpg http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm419/93racestang/DSCF0523.jpg http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm419/93racestang/SunGal-10.jpg 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpracer Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Actually, no. I haven't done that since it was a four cylinder. I have thought about though this year. It's been languishing in the garage for a couple of years now, and I need to do something with it or sell it... and I don't like the sounds of the sell option.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Nice notch. what are the details on the drivetrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpracer Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Its a 359 cu in sbf, naturally aspirated, set up for NMRA Hot Street backed by a glide and a 9" ford. The drivetrain is set up for racing, and would need some work to make it half way reliable on the street. Its 16:1 compression right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Its 16:1 compression right now. Assuming that is a misprint, unless you are running meth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpracer Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yea, not a misprint. I run VP C25 race gas. Certainly wouldn't want to spray it. I've heard of people up to 18:1, but typically 15.5:1 to 16.5:1 is the sweet spot with todays gasoline. They just start making less power after that. I'm sure it has to do with detonation, and I guess when it comes to compression, it is the more the merrier until you hit the point of detonation. I live up off of Home Rd. on the northern edge of Powell. I grew up closer to the city, and I miss it, but it is quiet up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
