Here is the new'un.

Lol the MPH is approaching what the red car used to trap running 6.60's on a 150 shot. Me thinks she's gonna ride out on a 150 shot.

Skrong mph.

I also raced the black conv. Cobra tonight. Gave him the head up break. He GG. Good sport about it though. Davey gapped him with the GN as well lol.

You think theres more left in the 60ft? I know a Tbrake would help for sure.

It needs some work down low for sure. Dead hooking, I just think the converter is too tight. I've been offered a looser convertor to try and I may take him up on the offer since its just a few hours labor to swap it out.

Yea I was going to say a looser converter but figured a brake would also help. MPH is there just need to get it out the hole.

Congrads!

Yeah just swapped in a new TCI reverse manual valvebody, but the money just wasnt there for the trans brake version. It's hell being poor.

Thankyatoo!:bigthumb:

I know what you mean. This damn fuel system I been putting together is taking to damn long lol.

You making it harder for the slowbra! Stop it

I gotta keep going. Struggling to keep up with the supercars on this site!

I hear you. It's tough.

Good job Shawn! Your getting that car to ride out pretty good man.:bigthumb:

Thanks Will. We trying, and having a blast with it too!

I know you are. Just keep at it. You will get it where you want it soon enough.

damn that car traps high for the ET, 60' is killing you without a doubt.

you'd be in the 6s with more stall and a brake.

You think so? Hmmmm. Now accepting donations to the get shawnboy in the sixes fund lol.

If that bish went a 6.99 on motor I'd dance a jig.

Im actually doing a LQ4 into a SN95 for a friend. Were shooting for 6.9999999 on motor.

My old red car ran the 1/8 at 7.5 @ 92 mph with a 1.50 60' time. I would say your mph is high and your 60' has room for improvement. Tough to say its all in the convertor, could be tires, suspension, or launch RPM's. Just my .02

congrats.

HYHD. If my car ran that number id be happy!

I think its in the converter or just not enough ass in general. Tried every possible launch rpm from pushing the car through the lights to leaving from a dead idle. The car is dead hooking and bogging the motor so I'm thinking a looser converter would get the car into the power band quicker. If you listen to the car when I leave you'd swear I shot it out past the 60 ft mark. It comes on that hard. Of course I'm sure the rear suspension needs some adjustments as well. Rear-end is sitting kinda crooked in the car just havent had time to fool with it yet. FWIW my red car 60 ft'd about the same as this un on motor with a nitrous converter but went 1.35's on a 150 shot. I guess its tough to have it both ways...

Congrats.

That baby ls motor needs 4000+ stall to get moving good, but if you plan on shooting it keep it where its at and work on other areas, or just plan on swapping converters again when you start spraying.

Damn good work Shawn! Car is coming together very nicely!

Just Choot it.

Got alot of MPH. My blue car runs 7.50's on a 1.50 to 1.53 60' and I only trap 88 to 89 MPH. But your car seem to be running good..:bigthumb:

That will loosen it up some...

You aint never gonna beat WBR with a reaction time like that. :)

I really need address some things before I put a kit on it. Good thing too cause I cant afford a kit right now. My torque boxes arent welded up yet and Id really like to redo my subframe connectors. Its also gonna need some bigger tires, these 255's probably arent gonna cut it. Add the fact that I highly doubt this is a nitrous converter in the car (no anti balloon plates) and you can see why Im in no hurry to shoot it. I think Im just gonna keep piddling with the all motor setup. If Luckie will let me feel that bigger converter Ill give it a whirl and see if we cant whittle those 60 ft times down.

Lol. Tru, but it aint me its the car. I told it to go and it just sat there.

Lmfao. I have that problem too.

Congrats on the new best!

Yeah man I was thinking a 4500 might be just right. I dont mind a lil bit of extra work. It's what I do lol.

Thanks fellers.

Question so dont get mad at me because i know nothing on carbs. But have you played with the jetting and read plugs to see how it looks? Trying to help as i do not know. What gear in the back as well?

wtf, i congrats you and was not thanked. dam ford guys. :poke:

It is boxed up just sitting under the bench wanting to be used! Whenever you wanna try it, give me a call.
