Wow , Thanks soo much you guys , I saw the post early this morning on my way to work couldn't believe it was about COTY .

Thank you all very much for all the nice comments , its been a real fun ride to get it this far , thanks to my buddy Dave Lewis (GIJOE) for putting up with all my phone calls . Hahahahah. Its been a blast throwing around ideas . You can do a search in the forums, and sure enough you can find info or people who have done it to help you out along the way.

The car really is a blast , big thanks to my buddy Willie at MAK Performance , Jason Gatlin from ATF the tranny is unbreakable , Tim Eichhorn from Mustang Performance Racing who built the motor , and my good Friend Willie Figueroa who Ive learned so much thru the years, and tunes the car.

We all have a passion for our cars , the best thing is the path you take to get to your version of your dream ride.

Thanks Again for picking the Car , I was extremely surprised this morning.
Ohh by the way Im headed out to the track tomorrow last race of this year with a set of Slicks for the 1st time , lets see what she can do !


Thanks Again ,

Pete

Congratulations buddy! You defiantly deserve it and now it's time to get that bad boy in some magazines! I hope I can get down to the spring break NMRA race to see it and meet you in person finally.

Couldn't have gone to a better guy!


Thanks buddy , I'll try to get it ready for the NMRA event , need a cage built but Im trying to finish my foxbody for the same event . Eitherway I will be out there 1st round is on me .

I would love to have the car in the magazine but I have no luck for that sort of thing. Ive tried for 2 years to get into KOTS and never get a response can you believe it. The only thing I got was a reply that said very nice looking car.
I guess I need to make it go 8s to get respect for a plain white S197.

With slicks I will guess 9.5Xs.

Thats what Im hoping for but this time Im going to hit the Nitrous out of the gate on a Progressive controller and leave on 12 psi's of boost only and bring the nitrous in 1.3x into the run .
If the car hooks ( which it should ) Im hoping for a 1.38 60ft with like a 9.4x @ 150 .

Id like to find out who's been the fastest with Stock Heads and Cams.

You might be it. I don't know anyone else running stock heads and cams running into the 9.50s. I think Fin1 is the closest.

Congrats Pete! You have done an awesome job with your car


Thanks alot Vinny I really appreciate it .

I think Fin1 and Redfire are the fastest, but Im not sure they are completely Stock Heads and Cam. I think they have cams and stock heads unported. Regardless I would like to know for sure before I claim the Title . LOL :clap:.

Didn't you hear? Stock heads can't handle that much power :clap:

Hahahah thats what I keep hearing , as well as if you built the motor you should have done the heads that was a dumb move . Then I show them the time slip . Everything goes dead silent . Hahaaha
