    Finally Did Some Exterior Stuff

    ...after 4 1/2 years of owning the car. LOL I think the new look is subtle but greatly improved.

    Exhaust Leak at Header to Midpipe - Rich AFR?

    Hit the track on Saturday - first pass I managed my best ever 60', then the car spiked real rich and bogged a bit. Right after the 60' marker it spiked to low 10s AFR, then slowly leaned out to high 10s. On the return lane, I heard a pretty noticeable exhaust leak. Parked and checked it out...

    Effect of Wind on ET

    Hit the track yesterday. Conditions were good, with the exception of a fairly strong (15 MPH, gusting to 30 MPH) head wind blowing right down the track. How much does wind effect ET? I'd have to imagine that the head wind dropped a few tenths off of our times yesterday at least. The car felt...

    Triple Disk Converter - HARD Lockup?

    So I recently installed a PI triple disk 3200 RPM stall lockup style torque converter (along with a TCI 'Street Fighter' 5R55S and TCI hardened input shaft). Transmission shifts well, converter stalls correctly, basically everything feels great except when the converter locks in 4th or 5th...

    Couple Pictures of my '05 GT Project

    Mustang's almost road ready - should be all buttoned up this week. Been traveling a lot recently so it's held up my progress. Here's a couple of pictures. After breaking the stock input shaft - stuck on the side of the highway: Front mount install: New intake routing - bad picture -...

    5R55S Input Shaft Removal - Shaft Won't Budge

    So I've got the trans out of the car and the torque converter removed. The little 'nub'/pilot portion of the front side of the shaft broke inside the torque converter. The remaining part of the shaft is sticking out from the trans pump/main assmebly. It appears to be straight as an arrow...

    CX Racing Absolutely Sucks

    Absolutely the worst company I've ever dealt with (car parts wise, at least). Warning: Long rant. I called last Monday (July 29) to ask about buying their V3/Novi 1200 'kit'. I'd been considering just piecing a kit together on my own, but figured for the extra $200 I'd buy their 'guaranteed to...

    5R55S - Input Shaft Failure = Trans Replacement?

    Pretty sure I snapped my input shaft last night on my '05 GT with setup in signature. I normally manually downshift it before stomping on it, but with a buddy in the car I stomped it in 5th to show him how slow the 5R55S normally downshifts...excepts this time it didn't downshift slow, it ripped...

    Intercooling my Setup - Add Boost or Timing?

    So I'm throwing a CX Racing air to air intercooler on my setup. Currently, in short my setup is: - Non-intercooled Novi 1200 with 3.33 pulley (kisses 13 PSI at 6300-6400 RPM before shifting) - Cheap meth injection kit spraying at over 4 PSI - 21* of max WOT ignition timing, 11.4-11.5 AFR...

    Spark Blowout? HT0s vs Brisk

    So I'd been running the Brisk plugs that Brenspeed shipped with my Novi 1200 kit with good results. Started having some rough cold starts and figured the plugs could use replaced after 2 years of service in my supercharged car. From reading all the bad reviews on here of Brisk plugs and all...

    Me vs ZL1, 5.0, LS1

    These are from the track last night...taken with my iPhone by my wife. I had the car turned down a bit as I'm getting nervous about it popping and it was a little slower then it's been. Ran 3 11.9s and 3 12.0s over the course of the night. Also stripped two of my front runner Racestar lugs and...

    New Best ET/MPH (11.58 @ 119)

    Headed to the local track today. It was packed so I only got 3 runs in. Pretty happy with the results though, considering what I have into the car and how bad it's 60's still are. For a 3V with a cheap Paxton non-intercooled setup I'm pretty happy. Managed a new best of 11.58 @ 119.44, backed up...

    BBV and Hobbs Switch Both Connected to Same Vacuum Source?

    So I've got my BBV and Hobbs switch for my meth injection reading vacuum from the same source. I've got a vacuum line running from the intake manifold to a T-fitting. One line from the T-fitting connects to the Hobbs switch, the other connects to the BBV. I noticed on Friday at the track that...

    Cleaning Racestar Wheels?

    Anything special involved in cleaning polished aluminum wheels? I'm not a real involved detailing dude- usually I would just spray my wheels with regular old Meguiars or Mothers wheel cleaner and then spray them off with a pressure washer, then towel them dry. I don't want to damage the...

    Rear Driver Side Popping/Clunking Noise

    Thought I'd throw this up here for some brainstorming since I can't work on my car right now- had surgery a little bit ago and still have restrictions. I did try searching and found the usual rear end clunking noise threads, but this is a bit different. Saturday night I laid into the throttle...

    Quick Hit Single Gear

    I don't usually do stuff like this, but I just had surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago to remove kidney cancer and have been in a not giving a fuck kind of mood since. LOL This was just a quick hit from ~25 MPH up to 65. I was just cleared to drive and couldn't resist. Later I wound it out through 100...

    11 Second Pass!!!

    Finally broke 12.0 today! For the first time, I had a totally clean pass- eased into the throttle, bogged just a bit with no tire spin at all, car hooked and went straight and felt strong the whole way down. Went 11.91 at 115 off a 1.82 60'. Trapped 116 earlier in the day (when DA was better)...
