Karl, I can't find that post. Craig has software that allows you to play with weight, gear, tire, power, bunch of stuff and see your time, mph, and rpm.

That car has been DESTROYED already by a car that was on the motor. I guess he got new turbo's and crap. You should be able to beat him in the vette. If not a 100 shot would take care of him.

Mustang owners think that a k&n filter and a set of crapmasters turns a 4.6 into a 6.4. Add a power adder and you've got a car that cannot be beat. At least thats how most of the mustang owners in columbus think.

Sheikss, sorry dude I've been in the field training troops and Karl's internet is down. Wow I can't believe Jhelms got a vid of Lopez's Cobra. The word on the street is that his roomate backed into the front of the car and destroyed his front mount and possibly his new turbos. Anyway we where going to race at reynolds that same weekend that Jhelms took the vid until that happened. Lopez and I already raced three times; Once on 10lbs and twice on 15lbs. and I still got him. So whenever he gets his car squared away we'll go at it again with a muuuuch bigger shot and have some fun doing it!

Well I'm going to order a catch can next. I'm also wanting to relocate the battery to the trunk still. Seems to be mixed opinions on if it's worth it. I also don't like the idea of having to mount a shut off switch on the car. I want to make sure that when I order the fuel pump I get one that will work on the next combo. Looking at a mufflex as well, I hate the 4x4 look, so the duals are coming off. They list for $600 on their website and y for $313. Let me know if you can find them cheaper. Also plan on getting a tick adj. master and would like to get a new clutch. I'm going to bring my line lock, 4" alum. ds, ds safety loop, and 5 point belts with me when I come home. Needless to say there will be plenty of work. The old lady will be gone so I'll have some free time.

I don't know about you, I fear no one especially newer cars. Quote from a famous street racer " Winnings winning weither you when by an inch or a mile" All you need to do is stop granny shifting and double clutching.

My moto has always been "Drive it like you stole it"!
