    Ran the stang this weekend can someone translate into 1/4 mile?

    That was a bummer this weekend Fawcett at NED, but keep in mind it was snowing on Saturday. They were thinking of opening the track up to the full 1/4 on Sunday, but by the time it warmed up enough, everyone running their Gambler's Race had already dialed in on the 1/8th, so it wouldn't have...

    '94-'95 Repsect

    Well....I stuck with mine as a base and made it pretty bad ass. There is something to having a 5.0 as that was what I grew up dreaming about owning one day. I know getting a turbo kit for it wasn't easy, but all the parts you could ever dream of needing are out ther for the '94-'95 cars, they...

    mass people what are your winter projects

    Hopefully get a tranny solution that stands up to the motor I have and get the car consistently in the 9's. Been through quite a few trannies this season, thus keeping the car on the sidelines for far more time than it was on the road. Kills me to put it away with a 10.01 for the...

    Sure was a nice day for running Bryan! I was up there getting my trailer today and hung out and watched for a couple of hours. Ran Friday night, but it was so damn cold track kept getting more and more slippery. Managed a 10.13 and 10.15 @142.7 on my first two runs, but couldn't get the 60...

    The ultimate bench race Cobra$$$ vs. 5.0$$$

    Seeing as a Dart block is $2200 cold with no machining, that leaves next to nothing for internals, at least not ones worthy of a 10 second motor. And before I read through this whole thread...I don't see either of those cars running 10's as listed.

    FFW has those rules for the street classes. Inspection sticker is not required though. If it was, Quazimodo brings up a good point about "knowing" people to get a sticker. I think the way things are going with emissions, most of us will end up being in that boat, so I'm ok with a car not...

    Looks like 5.0 liked it too....check out page 164 (5.0 showcase). I knew the car looked familiar and someone named Chris owned it. Congrats!

    tasca ford day in epping

    Josh - big props to you and your dad for the help and tool lending all weekend. It was a HUGE help being parked next to you guys as I am still super-new to this serious track stuff. Are you guys going to try QS this weekend? If the weather is good Sunday, I'm gonna give QS another shot...

    I didn't think anyone else ran 9's in SS? And I understand what Stroked86 is saying, but that car had no plates and clearly was not a street car by any definition. I know for a fact Mike Aldwart, who won the Outlaw class, could have changed his belt, added some ballast, and run in SS too...

    Eric mentioned he helped change his tranny in 30 minutes....pretty impressive for not having a lift around! I know I never got a chance to run in S/S. By the time I realized the thermostat went in the car and changed it, they D/Q'ed me since I didn't make a qualifying pass. I realize this...

    And I'll be there with his trailer! :D This should be a good show as I know of at least one 9 second street car that will be running street shootout and have heard of a couple of others. Hoping I'll be one of them.

    Which turbo company is better???

    I waited four months for my Cartech kit to arrive before cancelling the order and going with PTK. I know at the time, to be honest, they all sucked IMO. It amazed me that companies with that kind of customer service could stay in business. Just waiting for the kits added a half a year to my...

    All You KENNE BELL GUYS......

    That's pretty impressive....I was closer to 425 at 10psi with a similar setup, but I know the combo could have been put together better. The KB is a ALOT of fun on the street! I have a 2.2 Blowzilla sitting in my shed that I used to run on my '94 and enjoyed immensely, but I just got greedy...

    Got My New 5.0 Mag...Depressed

    Well, don't cancel until you get January '06 as I'm certain us '94-'95's will be represented on the cover! :nice:

    I've done both....and nothing beats stomping down on the pedal, feeling the boost build up while you hold down the transbrake then let go and tear away!! And don't forgt you actually have to shift the AOD's at the track anyways. Unlike my Lightning that you simply punch and go!

    Cool. I'm assuming some of you will be racing? Looks like I'll be in the Street Shootout class according to the rules. The more turbo Stangs the better! :nice:

    whats the best way to do side exhaust?

    I second just getting the Borla kit if you are going to do it. Coming from manufacturing, if grade of materials is equivalent, mass produced is almost always cheaper than custom. I did however cut off the Borla tips as I didn't care for the dual cylinder look and I had the shop weld on a...
