Front shock extension is to loose. Tighten the extension up. It also wouldn't hurt to tighten the compression as well.

Apparently real world results mean nothing on the internet.. Seen good results within the mustang crowd myself.

1100 pounds weight is what the trailer takes. Tires and wheels came with the trailer. Harbor freight trailer, 12" wheels rated at max speed of 55....They have seen 100 . Rearend is narrowed 3" on each side.

I dont have any pictures but if it comes out of the center of the plate same as the parachute mount. Pretty much just took the parachute mount and made my own with a 5" drop and ball hitch on it. I will try to snap a picture and post it soon dude. Nothing special though.

Haha, I think he was referring to the wheels/tires for the car that are strapped down to the trailer. Like what width and backspacing are the Billet Specialties ?

I think he thinks your paint job is plasti-dip.

On a totally unrelated to all of that ^^^ note, I like the **** out of your car, man. Lol

Yesterday was the last day of our local Drag & Brag race series. Car ran great with the 50/60 degree air. Track was a little too cold to put the power in it fast, but that didnt stop me from hauling the most *** the car ever has in the 1/8th mile.





Here is the whole event. My second pass was the best of the day, vs the nova wagon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL5Y...ature=youtu.be

Car ended up winning the event mostly due to the track being freezing cold and I can vary the amount of power and how it comes on unlike the nitrous cars. Car still has more on the table, but not for this year. She blew the pump out of the transmission on the return road on the last pass. O well. Many thoughts will be going in to preventative maintenance on the car this winter. Mostly getting it ready for DRAG WEEK 2015!!!!!
