Southern Members - Monroe Louisiana Area Cars HERE!!!

Anyone in monroe area on here?

I'm not from Monroe but I get down there often. You think they're going to open Twin City again. I ran with the MadTunes Racing crew down there in my '05 SSS.

Hey guys what's up! I'm sick of driving to Gilliam to drag race. Hope they reopen soon at TWD.

I wish they would open it back up because i am tired of driving to shreveport to race. I don't have an f body but i do like them. I know a couple of those MadTunes Guys myself.

Yeah the MadTunes Racing crew is mostly my family so I have a reason to go to Monroe but there are no tracks in central Arkansas and Prescott is almost as far as Monroe. I've never been to Shreveports track but Prescott is top notch. A guy that went to school with me's parents own it and really made it nice.

Maybe we should get a group of us together on a weekend every month or so and go cruising. We could blow the carbon out of our motors a bit........ just to keep em healthy :D

sounds fun, just need to get some people organized to do it.

When/Why did they close Twin Cities??? I have some vids of the last time the Shreveport group rode out there.

I live in the Ruston area. I wish they would open Twin City back up to, used to go most every weekend. Car is at Futral's right now getting a new LS2 402 built.

I'm down for a cruise for sure...maybe we can cruise on over to a track somewhere. HAHAHA!

Long story short: The owner of the track did not pay his mortgage to Tom Sanders. The operators of the track were paying the owner rent but it didn't make it to the lien holder. Tom Sanders ended up getting the place in a Sheriff Sale last month I believe. (Anyone with more details chime in)

I'm probably going to make a few more visits to Shreveport this year but I live in Oak Grove and really hate the haul.

I think I talked to you a couple of times there. You have the really clean blue SS with some nice red suspension upgrades visible from the rear :nod: You didn't make it out much last year though (I ran every Saturday event) but I saw you more often a couple years back.

What cam are you going with for the stroker? Are you going to stay with the TFS 215s?

Yep thats me, yeah i didn't make it out much last year due to work.

Not sure what the cam specs are yet. Staying with 215s but he will doing some port work and swapping the 2.04 intake valves for 2.08s.

We will have to run when you get it back. I built an iron block 404 with tfs 225cc heads ported by TEA, yella terras, FAST 102/102, custom pat g cam (on the milder side), 1 7/8" Texas-Speed headers, LS7 lifters, and all the supporting stuff. I also bought a performabuilt level 2 with a TCI 3500 stall. I went 11.2 on a shakedown pass in pretty bad air with the 3.23 gears in full street trim. I'm expecting some high 10s this fall and then spray about 150 and see what happens. Currently waiting to install a 12 bolt with 3.73s.

Yeah we can do that. Sounds like a nice combo you got. Hoping for high 10s with mine as well. The h/c setup went a best of 11.31 @ 119 on motor with a slipping trans so the new motor should be good for high 10's. Will be spraying a 150-200 shot as well.

My cam only setup went 11.92 last July but I never ran it in nice air. I think it was capable of an 11.7 based on running Jimmy Hitt's H/C TransAm. (I made an 11.6 pass in Jimmy's car last October on skinnies and it alway ran pretty much identical to my car throughout the season).

What kind of 60' did you get on the h/c setup and what rear end and gear combo are you using? What compression for your new build? (I went with 11.1) I wish I would have bought the LS2 Block instead of going iron block.

Post up the videos. I'll post some that I have from there as well.

Here's my truck against Bobby Pardue's 2010 camaro at Twin City:

This is my stock internal transam with spray against a Z06 vette on street tires: :D

Here's one of my friend Jimmy Hitt's TransAm running David underwood (also a rematch of my truck and the 2010 camaro... Bobby cut a .200 light after I finished in front of him the first time heh heh):

And one more of Neal Tyson's Silverado SS with headers and stall:

Had a 1.62 60ft. on the 11.31 pass. Car has a Moser 12 bolt with 3.42 gears.
Not sure on the compression ratio yet, they just started ordering everything Monday.

I'm really interested to see how your setup works for you. I almost want to wait on ordering my rear end to see how you like the 3.42s with the new motor. I was considering 3.42s myself but after I bought my M6 Z28 I started thinking a bit more towards quarter mile performance with my transam. I will not make it a drag car but I'll probably put some lower gears in it for a bit more trap speed. The 3.23 gears seemed to give nice trap speed in the 1/8 mile but would fall off a bit in the quarter compared to my friend's transam with 3.73 gears. With my cam only setup, I would have about 1 mph on him in the 1/8 and he would end up getting 2 mph on me at the finish line (although we would et the same). I'm thinking that the 3.73s might put me in the sweet spot in 3rd gear at about the 1000' mark. Let me know when you get the car back and we can run over to Shreveport for some test and tuning. I know Bubba's ready to shoot that mustang with a 125 shot and would probably want to come along. Another one of our friends (Kent Boddie) has a GT 500 that is making over 600 to the tires and would probably also be up for a cruise to Red River.

I did some research on the check engine light that flashed last night and what i am gathering is when the check engine flashes then goes away it is a misfire, didnt sound or feel like a misfire to me... what do you think?

But yes i am ready to spray the 125

I think that the spray probably just temporarily freaked out your pcm. You have the timing retarded and the correct plugs. It felt like it was running perfect to me. I'd do a search in some mustang forums to see what you can find out but it felt too good to be much of a problem IMO.

Yes it ran great in my opinion also, i have done the digging and all i come up with is a misfire, so guess that means some more testing (spraying) is in order LOL

you may want to look at the plugs just as a precaution.

i will soon, it isnt missing on the n/a tune at all and i may be driving to hammond la to get some parts soon, upper and lower control arms and a panhard bar and lowering springs. trying to make a deal.

What's your AFR when you spray it? Stock fuel pump and injectors?

afr hasn't been checked by me yet and the tune is from Blow By Racing in florida for the nitrous. I would bet that it is a really safe tune for the bottle since it is an e-mail tune.

It's always a good idea to look at AFR when you spray.

Fun times Steve, we need to have another f-body round up.

Yeah, another track outing would be fun.....

Hey folks,

Some of us made it down to Gilliam for some runs last Saturday. We will plan on another outing in October when we may get some nice air.
