    Fox New PB, finally got into the 10's!

    After 2 botched outing with the nitrous setup, I finally got success. 2 previous attempts to go 10's (actually 6's) were made at 2 different 1/8th mile tracks. 100hp jetting with 4 degrees pulled the last time out, and after reading the plugs pulled 1 more for safety. Tonight I went to Steele...

    God looks after idiots too...

    We all know it's dangerous, but seems like this car wasn't built with good safety measures. Looks like a bolt in cage? View: https://youtu.be/l6Xvvnsv150

    Calling Turbo Guys!

    Need ABS help, not Mustang.

    2011 F650 with ABS light on. Has some functioning form of ABS as I have tested it in the rain. Biggest problem is skidding down steep inclines, especially in reverse. What I mean by skidding is I am getting some form of wheel lock in the front end causing traction to be lost and sliding. I...

    Extreme Street Racing

    Last summer I dabled in the hard tire racing and starting spraying my car at the same time using a progressive controller. Over the winter I discovered that the nitrous was never actually activating, or at least not continously. I fixed that over the winter and attended an extreme street...

    G Force G101a Trans

    My fathernlaw replaces his straight cut, dog ringed T5 with a G Force G101A, the "clutch assisted" model. This trans is a 4 spd stick that is 1000hp capable. Obviously you use the clutch to engage and disengaged, and to launch from 1st, after that you leave the pedal on the floor and jerk...

    Electrical Headlight Help

    I recently lost my headlights and front turn signals. I tried to do a little testing and thought I had narrowed it down to the multi function switch (turn signal switch). The main red wire coming from the headlight switch was getting power when I switched it on and I was finding power at the...

    Nos Mini Progressive Review

    So no real pics to show here, but I thought I would give my feedback on the NOS mini controller for those who may be interested in purchasing one. What it does do: Progresses shot from your set beginning % to your set ending %, over your determine time span. Example, I started my shot at 30%...

    Trailer Modification

    Nothing spectacular, but I thought I would share my little project. For the last several years I have been bumming a car hauler from friends. I made it a point to buy one this year, but couldn't afford $2k+ for a decent one. Most used ones brought close to new. Also, I needed something...

    Changing Things Up This Season...1st Track Outing!

    For the last few race seasons I have been chasing 60fts and ET. I finally got the car in the 1.5X 60fts and got a new best of 7.45 1/8th mile. That required 6K rpm launches and prompted the rebuild of my T5. I have also had a NX kit waiting in the wings for a few years, but really didn't...

    Fox Cold Idle Video

    I had to move my car in and out of the garage today so I could access some storage. I pushed it out but cranked it up when I pulled it back in. I was sitting in it as I pulled into the garage and was just marvelling over how well it idles. When I put this combo together, I was told (by some...

    Another Backspacing Question

    I currently running 15x8 with 5.25 backspacing. No clearancing was needed and no rubbing issues with my 26x10.5 drag radials (10.5" at the widest section width). I want to buy another set of rear wheels to put some regular tires on, and would like to go with a 15x10. I see 6.25 and 6.5 back...

    T5 Rebuild Guru's

    I tore my gforce t5 apart a few months ago for a rebuild. So far I have bought a master rebuild kit and both sliders. Originally I thought I was going to need a 2nd and 3rd gear because of the dog teeth being torn up. These cost a pretty penny from gforce, so I have been saving. Tonight I...

    408 Clevor Dyno Numbers

    Some of you may remember me mentioning (or maybe not) that my father n law has been building a kinda odd ball engine over the last few years. He is very meticulous and takes forever to get stuff done. I believe this has been a 4 year project. Here are the details: -351 Roller Block stroked...

    What Happened?!

    Not mine but a family members. He has had the car about 4 months. Warmed over 306, T5, 3.73, 31 spline axles, Nitto 555R's. Was driving down the road today and said the car was leaning to the rear, stopped and found this. Joe
