Congrats to Ken3030--he broke into the 5s at Irwindale last night with a 5.92 @ 116.XX mph @ 3800lbs (car + driver) at 22lbs boost with the KB 2.8 Mammoth. A 5.92 should easily be a 9.20 at Famoso next weekend in the 1/4 mile, maybe faster depending on how strong the top end mph is. Video coming soon.

Here is Ken's video. Sorry Ken, but sometimes there are just people in the way, I tried to get a clean shot but to many people. I literally had to watch the video 4 times before I could ignore the distractions and just stare at the car. If you can just stare at the car, it looks pretty strong. A 1.33 60' is pretty stout for a 3800lb car!

Silverpoison ran a 6.25---I am sure he will post up his own thread, congrats Eduardo!

Adam from ST Motorsports ran a 6.36 with the red 2011 5.0 with the 3.6 liquid cooled Kenne Bell supercharger. 6.40 in the 1/8th breaks into the 9s in the 1/4 mile, so that could be a high 9.8X in the 1/4. That car is impressive as it has stock heads, stock cams, stock exhaust, stock gears (3.15) --- but he does have forged pistons and rods. Ran 18 psi boost and Hooiser slicks. Video coming soon.

And Greg from RET ran his twin turbo mustang to a 5.30 @ 135 mph---pulling the front wheels past the 60' mark with a 1.26 60'. A 5.30 is roughly a mid 8.20 in the 1/4---this car has already gone 170mph in the 1/4 and Greg's goal is to break in the 7s in the 1/4---which would mean he needs about a 5.10 in the 1/8th.




All in all a great night at the track for these guys, fall air is finally here, I am going to join the party next week with my car.

One of the terminals on the second battery was loose and ran out of juice in the return lane... anyways a great night for all, congrats to Ken, Adam, Greg.

Kick ass night!!!!!!!!:beerchug2:
Ken - your car is HAULING for just a KB on it. I don't think a TS has ever broke into the 8's and I don't think any blower alone as ever done it either. I know Justin used N20 with his procharger to get there. Your car has the potential to do it!

No I had way too much work to do yesterday, didn't have time to go get the trailer and load up the car as I wasn't finished with work until 6:00 pm, but I did make it out (obviously) to take pictures and video. I will be out next week.

Well I just saw a vid of Bob Tasca ford pulling an 8.06 @ 170 mph with a CJ, but that was with a 5.4 4V and a 4.0 Whipple. Maybe you are referring to the 3V only?

Here is my video of the ST Motorsports 5.0. He is sneaking up on the combo, planning for some big numbers next Saturday at our private track day at Famoso (the best 1/4 mile track in SoCal).
