Default She's .......ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

She's...........................ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well.........after 36 hours of thrashing this weekend the car is alive and running. We worked our tails off to try to get the car ready for the PINKS race on the 2nd. Unfortunately we decided not to make the race. Even though the car is running, we still have alot to finish before it is track ready. The short amount of time we have to finish the car makes it impossible to finish. I know we could do it but when you rush a job you can make careless mistakes and it can cost you a motor, trans, car....etc. We just want to step back, relax, and come back and look over the car and take our time on the rest. This will re-assure the car is done right. I can say that WE TRIED!!! Big thanks to the guys that thrashed on the car this weekend: Myself, Alan Marek, (Nitro)Dave Vassar, Charles Bourassa, Skizzy, Robert, Moe Bailey, David Clark (for letting us use his lift and shop), and the wifes for picking up lunches....etc. Stay tuned for the dyno session.

Well with that group of scoundrels working on it, I'm surprised you guys got anything done. Especially with the Curse of Moe hanging around.

Good to hear it's running, Tony.

Tony you need to post up that picture of me working hard kicking back in that chair while all you guys were under the car goofing off


The car is the sweetest it has been in all the years I have known you.( It was already nice) I think deciding to step back and have fun again while doing the build is the best decision ever made. This car is to nice to rush the project and tear something up.

Everyone helping on this build has done a awesome job and have deffintly showed off there talents.



Good track Days here we come....

Thanks Taner! We are going to stay away from spraying on the dyno unless I can find a Mustang Loaded Dyno. We will just n/a tune it on the dyno and track tune it with the spray. Good luck at N vs S.

Glad to hear it's up esp w/ the XFI. How bad of a install was the XFI and are you using anything off your stock guages. I'm ready to wire mine up this wkend. Who did you get your wire harness from? You are running sequential right as I see the trigger on the crank.
