Update!
As some of you have read in previous threads, I installed a new fuel pump and bigger injectors in hopes of finally using my dry nitrous setup I had on the car when I had the original engine in the car. All of my previous times to date have been NA. I showed the video of the dyno session where we scaled the injectors in and I posted numbers as well, but we all know the only numbers that really matter is what the car does at the track!! The car made 400 HP NA on a Mustang Dyno in race trim with ET Drags on it, who knows what the torque was that is still in question!
I thought I would share my most recent trip to the dragstrip with you! We headed down to Steele Al. yesterday driving in the rain most of the entire 190 mile tirp thinking I would never even get to pull the car out of the trailer man was I wrong. We must have looked pretty hard up to race since we were the first ones in line to race, it has been since October 24, 2008 since I raced last so I did want to race! LOL.
Well the crew was working on the track when we got there and they spent alot of time on it and money as well! We paid our $40.00 dollars and pulled in got the car out and warmed it up. All runs were made leaving on a 3,000 RPM Footbrake launch as usual since that is where I think the car actually makes torque. I made five NA runs and two Nitrous runs, a 45HP and a 75 HP dry shot at the engine. The Nitrous runs were done only through second and third gear no first gear or at launch.
The DA was at +1840 all day!
2:18 PM, 60ft 1.441, 1/8 6.84 at 99.46, 1/4 10.82 at 123.18, late on 2-3 shift.
2:45 PM, 60ft 1.442, 1/8 6.83 at 99.04, 1/4 10.78 at 123.30
3:13 PM, 60ft 1.445, 1/8 6.79 at 100.03, 1/4 10.74 at 123.89, new best for a short time that day!
4:06 PM, 60ft 1.434, 1/8 6.73 at 101.15, 1/4 10.61 at 126.99, 45 HP Nitrous shot 2nd and 3rd gear.
4:49 PM, 60ft 1.449, 1/8 6.72 at 102.02, 1/4 10.56 at 127.31, 75 HP Nitrous shot 2nd and 3rd gear let out in 2nd when car started spinning got back in it.
5:22 PM, 60ft 1.432, 1/8 6.81 at 99.59, 1/4 10.75 at 124.06, late on 2-3 shift again.
5:28 PM, 60ft 1.440, 1/8 6.78 at 99.64, 1/4 10.72 at 124.00, New best NA ET to date!
We had a great day met some new folks saw some people we knew and made a safe trip each direction! That is what I call a great day!
Only two things did not go well, one the car had to much gas in it from the new pump install and the dyno session. I made all of those passes and even drove it around a lot and still had almost a 1/2 tank in it when I put the car back in the trailer, second the wife ran out of video tape and did not get the new best ET run to date! I will post some videos soon!
It looks like the 10.72 runs puts me at number 16 on the fastest NA stock cube list!!

To all:
The videos are loaded for viewing! The first run is the 10.74 ET NA run, second run is the 10.61 ET 45 HP Nitrous run was used in 2nd and 3rd gears only. The third run is the 10.56 ET 75 HP Nitrous run was used at the end of 2nd and all of 3rd gear. There is no video of the 10.72 NA run.

nice car! the fist pic is out of focus (it picked up the bldg) - ask her to manually focus it so the camera doesn't wanna freak out with the fast action. good shots otherwise and again, nice car!

Yep, either she needs a better (faster auto-focus in "servo mode") or some more training with using manual focus.
Good composition, and (apparently) very good reflexes. All it takes is some practice.

My daugther took this photo on the last Thursday in May of my car leaving on a 3,000 RPM footbrake NA, no power adder launch at a special event that I was invited too.
The car ran a 1.471 60 ft time, 6.819 1/8 mile ET at 99.19 MPH and a 10.784 1/4 mile ET at 123.45 MPH. I then backed that run up with a 1.474 60 ft time , 6.819 1/8 mile ET at 99.18 MPH and a 10.789 1/4 mile ET at 123.22 MPH in 80degree temps at 2:00 PM in the afternoon with a track temp around 115 +/-.
I thought you all would like to see the photo. She is really getting pretty good at taking action photos.

We had a great time at the track and came back with a new best NA and Nitrous run. The temp was 52 degrees and sunny. The DA was -150 most of the day!
I made 11 quarter mile runs starting at 1:10 PM and ending at 4:40 PM! I made 6 - NA runs and 5 - 75 HP Nitrous runs! I made 5 sets of runs two at a time 4 minutes apart except for one run where I did an in car video of the NA A/F ratio!
Here are the results!!
New best NA – 1.394 60 ft., 6.643 1/8 mile ET, 101.07 MPH and 10.532 1/4 mile ET, 125.80 MPH.
New best Nitrous – 1.343 60 ft., 6.483 1/8 mile ET, 104.22 MPH and 10.254 1/4 mile ET, 129.40 MPH.
I hit the nitrous at launch and had to let off the gas pedal to about half throttle due to the car coming up off the ground higher then usual. Once it started coming back down I stomped on the go pedal to finish the run. I was told it was within 2 to 4 inches of dragging the back bumper no photo or video!dum I have an in car video of that run since I was taping the A/F ratio to ensure the tune was good.
I do have a trackside video of the nitrous run where the car produced a 10.353 ET at 129.51 MPH using the nitrous in 2nd and 3rd gears only.
I have attached the time slips and will post videos soon! Looks like that will put the car no. 12 on the NA stock CI H/C list!

All runs were made using a 3,000 RPM Footbrake Launch since, I could not get my new LPE 2-step to work! Maybe we can try the transbrake next time out!!
Here are the NA videos the first is the 10.57 and the second is the 10.53 run!
The second video is the 75 HP Nitrous runs, the in car video is the 10.25 run and the trackside is the 10.35 run using Nitrous in 2nd and 3rd gears only.

Good news! I got the two step working so now it is off to the track hopefully Saturday to see how it does. If anyone uses the LPE two step and you plan to use it with a transbrake be sure and read the instructions on page 8 under Nitrous, Line-lock and Trans-brake solenoid warning!
It states you should use the transit voltage suppression diode kit! I am really not sure why it is not part of the kit since 5 out of 6 of the wiring diagrams would require the use of the diode kit and it only cost $6.00! I was not told about the diode kit until I called LPE after reading the installation instructions. Ryan helped me out by rushing the diode kit to me! One more word of caution if you do not get the instructions for the diode kit call LPE.
The way it works is the black wire is connected to the negative line of the solenoid as close to the solenoid as your can get it and the red wire is connected to the hot wire side of the solenoid. It is like a jumper wire!

Well I got the car to the track Saturday March 7, 2009 and had a blast. I ran it 11 times at the 1/8mile track I go to in less than 4 hours. It was kind of warm out around 70 degrees with a pretty good headwind most of the day. All runs were N/A on a nitrous tune. Went to run some nitrous passes but somehow the bottle was empty.
Everyone stated the two-step would make the car run more consistent and it did pretty good. I ran 4 trans brake runs here are the results.
4:28 PM 1.473 60 foot 6.899 ET at 100.442 MPH Right Lane
5:42 PM 1.475 60 foot 6.899 ET at 100.374 MPH Left Lane
6:14 PM 1.474 60 foot 6.902 ET at no MPH Right Lane, truck wrecked and took out the MPH light at the top end of the track.
6:23 PM 1.473 60 foot 6.889 ET at no MPH Right Lane
The break down on the NA runs I grouped by 60 foot times!
2:42 PM 1.488 60 foot 6.919 ET at 100.569 MPH Left Lane
4:22 PM 1.485 60 foot 6.910 ET at 100.033 MPH Right Lane
2:45 PM 1.469 60 foot 6.876 ET at 100.550 MPH Right Lane
3:21 PM 1.472 60 foot 6.854 ET at 100.472 MPH Right Lane
6:28 PM 1.459 60 foot 6.857 ET at no MPH Right Lane
6:32 PM 1.453 60 foot 6.845 ET at no MPH Right Lane

Race Setup vs. Street Setup LOL!
As talked about before take a look at what a car will do depending how well the track is prepped! No change at all to the car or tire combo! Weather temp was almost the same at both tracks.
First video is of two runs!
1.421 60 ft. , 4.245 330 ft. , 6.677 ET 1/8 mile at 100.78 MPH
1.394 60 ft. , 4.224 330 ft. , 6.643 ET 1/8 mile at 101.07 MPH
http://lsx.streetfire.net/video/34d4...a50142e3d6.htm
Second video is of my run on Friday April 3, 2009, looks like I had street tires on! No big deal the traction was just not there, I just thought some folks might what to take a look at the videos.
1.614 60 ft. , 4.965 330 ft. , 7.646 ET 1/8 mile at 92.96 MPH. I was not even able to shift into third gear on this run.
