I got a new best today at the Motorplex both N/A and N20.. My best N/A run was a 12.132@111.38mph 1.60 60ft 1/4 mile, and 7.702@89.22mph 1/8 mile... My best Nitrous pass was 11.221@121.23mph 1.51 60ft 1/4 mile, and 7.158@95.80mph 1/8 mile.. The car was running great all day long and very consistant.. I only made 2 N20 runs because they kicked me off the last one. The first pass on the N20 was a 11.301@120.94 1.55 60ft but they didn't say anything to me on that run about not having a cage, fire suit, etc, but on the 2nd run which was late at night he gave me hell about it. Like I said the car was running great but all good things have to come to an end.. The throw out bearing was making a little noise, but I didn't pay too much attention to it.. On the way home though it started to screem at me bad, so I new something was wrong, well I took the tranny out tonight to see what it was and that part that the throw out bearing slides on that holds the input shaft inplace, well it broke clean off.. I don't know if there is a transmission shop that is open on sunday where I can find one of those parts at for a TKO, But I need one bad if I am going to race at the cruise on Sunday.. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one ASAP let me know quickly..

It took me less then an hour to put the car on jack stands and pull the tranny. I pulled it so many times now that is pretty easy..

Damn you tore up the bearing retainer? Was it a cast aluminum one or steel?

When I had my tranny out last week the stock cast aluminum one had a groove on it from being so old, the new steel bearing retainer was like $45 from Tommie Vaughn, but they're in Houston. How much does one of those run for the TKO?

PS- Stout times, sounds like you have all your ducks in a row!

It looks like its aluminum.. It had a grove in it from the old throw out bearing but I didn't replace it when I should have, I just put a new throw out bearing in.. I think they only cost about 30 bucks for a TKO..

BTW those times were made with a bone stock motor with bolt ons, rear suspension, drivetrain work, drag tires & rims, and a little weight reduction..

Its a good combination. Mustangs always hit hard out of the hole, even stock. Add some suspension and you'll get some stellar 60's like yours. Add in the fact you've got a screaming 4v motor and it adds some top end to a hard launching car, and voila!

I saw your car run at the Beltline meet a few weeks ago and it definately moves from a roll, too!

I'm going to try to go to the meet this coming Monday.. I think it rolls pretty good for what the car has done.. I only put down 320rwhp & 335rwtq N/A my last dyno with the bottle was 465rwhp and 534rwtq.. 125 shot.. But It leaned out some so that is why it made more power then usual. It usually puts down around 435 or so on the bottle.. I had a dirty fuel filter so I changed that out so it is probably running a little fat now.. My mph was down a little in the 1/8 mile.. Today it did 95+ and it normally does 97.. So I still have a few bugs to work out.. I want to get a 10.99 with the stock motor but I think its going to take a little more power to do it with a 5 speed..

Congrats man, I didn't know you were there or I'd of come by, I was in the Huge TSP rig most of the time. I had my Silver Fox there, made 2 good passes before being told not to run again. Something about not having a cage...

I set a new best on 10psi, a 10.65 @ 130mph, compared to my previous best in Lubbock on the same setup (11.2 @ 125mph). I also got a chance to weight the car and it was at 3165lbs, which is kinda porky for a fox body car IMO.
