who knows, a lil 50 or 75 shot might be nice for a little cooling

Please do it!!! That jt trim and some spray.

I'm putting a novi 2200 on, and plan on hitting it with the spray after rods and pistons go in.

So if you do it first, you will be my hero pretty much forever bwahaha.

I think next week, i'm going to try out the 2.50 pulley and see what she does!!!! :)

gave the car some more fuel and she liked it, went a 10.10 last night. short shifted the hell out of the 2-3

Few things in the works.

In the process of finishing up valve springs on the car. Got one side done last night. (Not fun on a 32v while in the car).

While we were at it, we through in some billet oil pump gears.

We are also testing out Exedy's new clutch packs for the 6r80. Their parent company is the OEM manufacturer for Ford, and we are going to test them out and see what kind of bite we get.

Since we have the trans out, Circle D is reworking the converter for a little more stall. Hoping to get into the low 1.4 60's, and also not drop so much rpms on the shift.

I'm having the valve covers and engine cover done in kona blue to match the car and try to put a little bling under the hood.

Also, toying with the idea of a little hit of spray for a little bump if I need it during the nmra races.

What did you end up running for valve springs?

What was the converter stalling to on launch and what were you seeing for shift fallback?

Car looks awesome with the drag wheels.

Thank you

my buddy rocked the valve covers and engine cover for me!

Should look really good back on the car!

Thought I'd throw some updates in here.

Now that we had the tune dialed in good, we decided it was time to put the boss intake back on. It made good power on the car, and I really liked how it looked as well.

I think the engine bay looks alot cleaner / meaner now.

On the dyno with the Boss and 13 psi we made 698. Without the Boss and 16 we made 709.

month7.jpg


We are now sitting at 16psi with the boss, but have not dyno'd it yet.

On the front suspension we went to Double Adj Strange front struts with 175lb coil overs and Maximum Motorsports caster / cambers.

month5.jpg


On the rear we went with Double Adj Strange rear shocks and a Team Z anti roll bar.

month3.jpg


We added Speed Concepts Cross Drilled / Slotted rotors to give a more aggressive side stance.

month11.jpg


I put about 5000 miles on the car since February when we got the new engine back together. I hit every NMRA event and finished 9th in the points. We were sitting at 5th going into the World Finals and going out first round dropped us to 9th with the double points at the final race.

However, the world finals were still good to us.

We were also lucky enough to get invited to the 5.0 King of the Street Competition.

In addition, we ran our first 9 second quarter miles pass.

month6.jpg


So, everything that we wanted to do this year, we accomplished. I finally have not only a 9 second "street car", but a 9 second car I can hop in and drive for hours at a time.

Here are a few pics from a couple of the tracks this year as well.

For the World Finals / King of the Streets we cleaned off all the stickers other than my Stainless Works hood wrap to give the car a nice clean look!

month10.jpg


For the winter, we really don't have a ton to do. We decided that we are going to run E85 in the car. We stepped up to a set of ID1000 injectors in the car.

We took the feed line from 8 to 10 and the return line from 6 to 8.

We had been running a fore hat and 2010 tank, when we first went to a return style, there wasn't anything available for the 11's. We never really took the time to mess with the wiring, so the only thing that never worked on the car was the fuel gauge.

JPC Racing now has a great fuel hat that fits the 11 tanks. We added the JPC hat and now the gauge works perfectly as it should.

The last thing to do for the winter is the blow thru conversion. I have pretty much maxed out the blow off on the car as well. We are switching to the blow thru setup and will also be adding a 2nd Vortech race bypass. With the conversion we will be able to vent to the atmosphere instead of recirculating the air. Car should sound pretty nasty now.

Rob at Rogue race cars who fabbed my intake tube, will be fabbing up a new intercooler to intake tube. It will go to 4" in the center which should give us range to between 900/1000 rwhp if we need it. Also with the blow thru setup, we will be able to pull the intake tube at the track. I am guessing this should be good for another 40 to 50 rwhp.

To add a little clearence under the hood. We added a H.O. Fibertrends 3" cowl hood. My buddy locally hooked it up with some custom artwork.
