Some random photos with the new camera.

This is a 10.2 Meg Sony, so I resized these.

This was taken with a friends Shelby and Roush.

Before and After of the battery box.

The wire left over after I did my engine wiring harness.

Some patriotism at Baytown Fun Ford.

Nice pics.

BTW, have you had any tech inspectors look at the battery box closely?

 

[psfracer]

Yeah, because that is a sweet set up----but I don't think it would pass tech. Then again, they hardly ever look at my battery box either so I would imagine 90% of the time they wouldn't sweat you for it. Its the other 10% of the time that would piss you off....

I haven't been to the track since I did that, but it won't matter much anyway. I'm the guy that can (and has!) taken a 12 second car and turned it into a 14 second car. Now, having never read the rules, if one of those plastic boxes will pass tech this thing should fly by with no problem.

I was looking at two things:

1) the box needs to be completely sealed. Also needs to be vented to the outside.
2) didn't see a master disconnect switch--which you will need. Oddly enough, not once in tech has someone actually tested my disconnect switch to see if it works as intended.

hahaha...

Exactly what I was thinking.

It is completely sealed and vented, so it would just need a switch.

I've done 3 runs in my car (1st time ever at the track) and did three 13.7's at 112, all 60 ft's in the 2.4 range. With a real driver that should put it high 11's / low 12's, but since it's my daily I'm not real concerned. Since then I've dropped about 100 pounds and added a few ponies and a bunch of torque. I had it retuned last week and did 403 / 395.

Then with a good set of tires you should be in the 11's easy with a trap of 113-114.
