Car looks super clean, I'd love to daily drive that thing.
it does have a little weight reduction. as its not full weight but what u see in pictures is what i weighed all seats were in car and carpet

It does seem a little lite, especial not being gutted. Very clean build.

had a decision to make racestars or weld



7rts.i chose the racestars being that they were half the price of weld rts.
catalog stated 15x3.75 were 11lbs and 15x8 were 15
i weighed them on my bath room scale and this is what i got 13lbs and 17lbs. Bit the most accurate scale but works for me

went to mount them and it was a no go.bolt pattern is right.everything was good till i went to put on my lugnuts and socket would not fit.even if i put a thin wall socket it appears to be a no go.btw these use acorn style instead of shank.
i have some race star 92 for my coyote and those have larger openings than these 91s

1st track visit for the mustang was good,bad and alot of questions that i need to find answers to
made only 1pass as 4 cars oiled track down.
so i dont know of mu results are accurate
60'-1.81
1/8 mile-7.9@88.2
1000'-10.34
12.43@107.7
so hard to say if that was a true time,like i said made only 1 pass.
60'is good considering its stock stall
1/4mile mph is down should be around 110-112..
dont know why it only picked up 18.5mph on the back half.
my stock 1991 mustang picked up 20mph.my bolton coyote picked up 24.5mph.
btw my coyote trapped 89mph in the 1/8 buy trapped 114 in the 1/4mile.

DA was 2400
maybe timing error,maybe throttle cable not opening all the way,maybe fuel problem,maybe false knock and pulling timing.goal is to run 12.0@115-117 and then 10.99@125-127 on a 100 shot.all on a stock longblock stock stall ls1 a4 drivettain

Any chance you wanna sell the back seat? I'll buy you a really nice rear seat delete. Lol got a newborn and I'm sure she'll eventually wanna ride in the fox. Can't blame a guy for trying. Love your notch by the way! Congrats on the swap, sick work

I wouldn't say that is disappointing at all! 7.9 is decent for sure. Get the tuneup figured out then throw some giggle gas at it and let us know how she reacts!!
