Hey bro did some changes..so we will see, still got some tuning to do..but B4 with 17 inch rims/bfg drag radials..and bad 60 ft.s was 11.80's..Since then, I went to Different converter, Rebuilt the tranny, New tire/rim set up and Whole new exhaust!..I went a couple of times..just to figure out my Y Pipe was banging on floor boards thus throwing a false knock and retarding my timing, so i also did a poly motor and trans mount swap..havn't ran it since...btw my original motor mounts were sh@t!..

I won't make this even though I got the car back together. I just want to drive and enjoy it since I haven't been able to this year. I'll save 2011 for the nitrous/track passes. I have tuning to do on it as well.

Doug,

What was going on with your rear? I saw it for sale. I hear ya on enjoying your car. I have put about 4000 miles on mine this year, drive it all the time. No problems so far since my cam swap. Do you go to any of the meets? I normally go to the market or sylvan beach. Sylvan gets a big crowd but mostly older cars.

I sold the 12 bolt out of it to help the costs of the rebuild. It wasen't the rear I wanted in the car, Locker/30 Spline/3 Series/Chrome Cover. Basically everything I wouldn't have purchased. I have a 10 bolt back in it with 4.10's and get my LCA relocations done this weekend. I got it back together last weekend and have about 40 miles on it and all is well. I'll have some street fun and hopefully put it away not broke.

Nice, maybe Ill cya out. How do you like the polluter? I plan on going with a
S60 when I get some money saved up or the 10 bolt breaks, whichever happens first.

Here is my best time

2.053 60'
330 5.525
1/8 8.281
mph 89.56
1000 10.623
1/4 12.610
mph 113.55


My best mph was 114.67

The neon was a best of 13.3 at 105, best mph was 107

the mustang 1 run 12.7 at 112. It started making noise, sounds like either a lifter but it may be an exhaust leak, couldnt test..

It's okay. It definitly could use some lower end torque but the car is geared and tire(d) for spray. I think with the bottle, the car will scoot right along. I did a 1st gear 15 mph roll with my friends 05 GT with a Vortech s-trim that made 485rwhp and I had a fender on him at 130mph. I get the spray set up, I might be happy

Your car is going to be pretty quick. Do you go to ESTA or Empire? I think the Empre track is definetely worth the drive. Ive been going on friday nights, pretty packed but you can still run a bunch of times.
