Well My previous best was a 12.9 @ 106.50 MPH. Just installed the UPR Swaybar delete and bypassed the power steering with a shorter belt.

Ran a 12.79 @ 106.75 MPH Still need to work on my 60ft!! I want to be in the 1.6-1.7 range (is that possible N/A?) Still need to purchase a 1 piece driveshaft, Longtube headers, electric water pump, etc... My goal is 12.5 with a completely N/A motor. I know spidershaft reached the 11's but I dont want to go to the extreme.... 12.5 will be fine for me hehe.

Here is a pic and timeslip of the day

If the track equipment wasnt in the way it would have been a better pic

Nice time Bro!!! Get the rest of the things you listed and you will be in the 12.5 range.

Also, I'm considering running the shorter belt next summer. Anyone have a part number size or location on the internet I could get it from? Guessing you guys are just swapping it out at the track? Thx...

Thanks for the compliment!!! Grabber Orange has always been a favorite of mine since I saw a 1970 mustang with it....and had a chance to get it in 2007 and took it. Heres another pic at the track

Yeah, that orange really does it for me as well. Hell, the wife told me that if I give her my car, exactly as it is right now, then I would go out and get an orange one. Again, the stipulation is that I can't take anything off this one. Very Very tempting...

Well...that gives you an excuse to start fresh! Taking a stock car and adding each performance mod and feeling the difference was fun! Just gives you a chance to do it all over again hehe

You get used to not having the powersteering after a while...at low speeds its a little difficult but not a problem when at speed

LOL, no shit! I think I bulked up a little. When I put the stock belt back on it felt like the steering wheel wasn't even connected to the car.
