Ran 8.45 on 7 Cylinders which was a PB.

Changed the oil this morning and had pins in on the drain plug. Pulled the Valve covers and had 3 broke followers from number 4, which probably happened before my last run were it would not build boost due to a vac leak, it pinged pretty hard when I got up on the brake.

Track prep was good new PB 60' 1.463:
A friend tells me he has a photo of this runs launch.

The clutch went on the next pass. May have been slipping on the 10.08 pass. New clutch goes in tomorrow. Break-in then NMRA Ford Nationals at MIR next weekend... That's what I'm thinking... Thanks!

Thanks, picked them up late last season need to get some better pictures of them. Maybe this weekend if I get the fuel system squared away and get back to the track.

Ok Ben, it's been a week. Where are the other videos?? LOL

 

[GT500RedStripe]

Sorry. The clutch broke and I have been busy getting the car back together for next weekend at MIR.

Here's one for you Ray! There are others in the same location:

Ray, if you listen closely it sounds like the car flattens out a little, at the top of 4th gear. Could be more in it if you get that fixed.

I was going to say the same thing. . Could it be that IAT climbed high enough to pull timing?

Thanks Ben. Ill send the vid to my tuner and see what he says. Gotta data log at the NMRA. Hopefully he will be there with his laptop.
