Et predictions and general rambling....

Ok here it is....Whats your car gonna turn this year or what HP is gonna turn on the dyno?

I think mine is gonna go 10.70's@128 on DR's with a sad 60' on 10psi. It "should" go 9's this year as well. (if i ever get it going) I'll have some great videos here in about 3 weeks as smackdown @ NRP is coming May 21st. My car won't even be running by then but i'll have my wideband there for my friends and my video camera handy. Dr. Jamie Meyer of 5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords will be there to take pictures and maybe feature a few cars. Should be a hoot as always.

If anyone in the surrounding states wants to come you can't beat having the track rented for 8 hours for a mere $40 per car. The amount of tuning and testing you can do is ridiculous and you can run at your hearts content. (one guy made over 30 passes last year) The signup sheet is over on Corral if anyone is interested.

Well I guess I can be the second on predictions here. I think IF I take the Cobra back to the track at the end of the year when its cool outside again, I think I can get a 13.1 as it sits right now. Still learning how to launch that thing. IF/WHEN I get the LX back on the track I am predicting a 12.999 on my ET Streets. Looks like I need to take the 8" back and have the front lip taken down now. Thats the main reason I didn't take it to the track today. That stupid 12 sec time slip will be the death of me out here!!

Brent, where do you live? If that event is anywhere close by, I'd be there. I went to SIR (Southern International Raceway) in Tucson Friday night. I had the Cobra, but didn't make any runs. Even they are at about 3000' so it wouldn't be that big of an increase for me. I need to move to sea level!

Hmmm, yeah don't think I would make it that far for a day at the track for some tuning ;) Would love to make it to Gateway one year and see how big of an event that is.

well I really don't think my car will get any faster unless I get a looser converter. But it will see the 1/4 mile track and the dyno

Looking for a 10.5 @?
and dyno at around 500rwhp.

But if I swap out the pullies, it might go alittle faster, Thinking about going from a 7in/3.15 to a 8in/3.33. What do yall think about that?

Since my truck has been sucking up all the attention (and money) I dont think the cobra will be moving to much faster this year. I still need to finish the motor install in my bronco, whenever that gets done I dunno, rebuilt the T case and fully rebuild the frontend with 4.56 gears and new u joints. If anything does get done with the snake perhaps it will get an 8' crank pulley or perhaps some equal length headers. I'd like to do new injectors and mass air also but realisically prolly not. At the very least I hope to get it on a friggen dyno and see what it puts down but well see. At this point I only have one daily driver (the cobra), and I need to have two, so thats priority. Having two modified vehicles is hard, lol.

Actually, I hope to get to the track this year. It'll be the first time in 4 years

......I always seem to be getting work done to it during the wrong months along w/ a touch of lazyness. The last time I went I was close to stock - 90 lx w/eibach springs, u/d pulleys, cai, e-cam and some weight loss (a/m hood, seats) - and turned a 13.8 @ ? on street tires(I gotta find my slip).

Now I've got Holley Intake, Edelbrock performer heads, same cam, adjustable rear control arms, 70/30 - 50/50 suspension setup, and a novi 1k (about 12-14# of boost). It'll be around 430-440 rwhp - once I get a tune. What times should I be running on street tires now? How about on DR's?
