You and your ride... Post it here get to know everyone...

Ya, my town is a drug infested hole. But there is alot of outdoor activies here. Skiing, water sports, mountain climing, fishing, indoor skidiving, snowmobiling, biking, etc.
I was just venting. One of the police officers is a friend, and one is a customer.

I have been lurking for a while so I figured I better introduce myself (James from Deer Park, Tx). I built my first track only car (78 Camaro) back in early 90 and raced for about 7-8 years. The car ran 10.20's@133 on motor (383 w/AFR220's) and 9.60@138 with a 100 shot @ 3180lbs. Lost everything in the Allison storm and stopped racing for 10+ years. Last year I found a good deal on a 1988 Mustang and started racing again. I have always been a Chevy guy but couldn't pass up the deal on this Ford.

The new Mustang

Nice looking Fox Body! What's the Mustang run? What's the drive train?
Beware, alot of Chevy guys here! On a quiet night, you can hear a Chevy rust...

Thanks! Its a 417 ... Man O War block 4.125" bore, Lunati 3.90" crank, GRP 6.25" rods, 15:1 JE Pistons, Kuntz ported Track 1X heads and 2924 intake, Kuntz cam, Pro Systems HP1000, Wilson Pro Flow plate, Kooks 2" headers with 4" bullets, Glide w/1.80 gear, 8" UCC converter and a 8.8 with 4.56 gears. The car weighs 2940 lbs and has a stock suspension (UPR, AutoFab).

I have 11 runs on the new setup .... its been 5.91@116 several times now on motor with a 1.33 60' . I have not ran it out the back but it has been 9.49@123 lifting on the big end. I had a high speed miss that stumped me for the first 6-7 runs. I fixed the miss ... now I'm working on the suspension (IC and AS %) to get the 60' down. So far its been 1.31 60' but I think it should be a 1.28 or better. Before I started messing with the suspension it was only good for a 1.38-1.42 60' so I'm making progress. I still haven't used the nitrous system .... waiting for the suspension to get dialed in.

Welcome to Drag Stuff James.

[Bruce69Camaro]

It's ok guys, he used to be a Camaro owner and his current car is running a glide, so that qualifies him....

I guess stepping down from a Camaro to a Ford isn't as bad as stepping down to a Nova......

Welcome to the site James.
