    Can It Go 9's?

    Honestly I think that track's MPH must read low. Your 660-1320 time tells the tale, and it's less than 2 hundredths off what I saw on a 9.89 pass here. As good as your 60 was and then looking at your 330 I have to wonder if you still had a 1-2 short shift at least to some degree. I still think...

    That's exactly what I see in the splits, the 60-330 is lacking compared to similar cars. You look good the rest of the way. Get the 330 time under 4.10 like it should be and your car will run 9.80s.

    3.55's & 7800 will it survive

    I think you are missing tire squish in your calculations. Your radial tire, even at speed they are probably at least an inch less diameter than the advertised measurement. I also doubt you're going to get more than 7700 RPM. At that RPM and 27", now the limit is just under 123 MPH with the 3.31...

    Can It Go 9's?

    Real close to a 9 on the 85MM yesterday. Stepped back to that pulley due to the fuel system being marginal on keeping up with the 82MM. It ran 10.04@136 on the very first hit. I think the 9 would be there with some more attempts, but it wasn't possible with over 300 cars there yesterday.

    Masters of slicks..come on in

    I think too little air and it's cupping the center on launch. I also think you could use a harder compound, that looks like pretty heavy feathering.

    5.0 replacement engine? Will an F-150 5.0 work?

    I'd put a truck engine in it too. I would at least put the Mustang intake cams, oil pump since the chains are going to already be off to do the cams, the windage tray is part of the oil pan gasket so that's an easy swap and the pan would already be off for the front cover/cam swap. At that point...

    5.0 replacement engine? Will an F-150 5.0 work?

    The oil pan, plugs, heads, are NOT different. The only difference in the intake is the color. I've done full teardowns. They don't have the windage tray, different intake cams, different pistons, smaller oil pump, different front cover/belt routing. Block/crank/heads/rods are exactly the same...

    Can It Go 9's?

    We got it done on the 82MM tonight. I figured out something with the trans calibration that isn't in any of the tuning software currently. I hoped for half this much, I never dreamed it would pick up 3 tenths. No changes since last time other than calibration, and the weather was similar enough...

    Can It Go 9's?

    VP C20. I've worked with E85 quite a bit and have come to the point that I'd just rather work with quality gasoline. I get some good laughs out of car weights, you've got guys with NA cars so no blower or ice tank, no roll bar in them, same things as here like tube bumpers, tube rad support...

    Can It Go 9's?

    Still heavy, a bit over 3500 with driver. It's got a big ice tank in the trunk and a mild steel roll bar from Waston. Only things taking weight off are tube bumpers, dumped exhaust, seats, removed evap, front brakes, tube rad support, wheels/tires.

    Can It Go 9's?

    Working with a similar car. Engine all stock other than the roush kit with 82mm. It's got a 2C 245mm and a 3.08 axle, some decent suspension parts, and on a 30x10.5 radial tire. Best is 1.49, 10.18@138. I really think it should sixty in the 1.3s and it isn't liking that converter much. Plan is...

    Help. Can a 13/14 strategy be used?

    No. When you pull the shifter back into the 1 or 2 position, you'll get a wrench light.
