Video of Friday Night Drags

[TweekedGT]

Well, I think I found a good host for drag videos, sure doesn't show up very clear though. On my computer and camera it is perfect, must be a bandwidth issue with the site I'm using. Here it is anyways. I finally beat a guy from last year who I would lose to by about three car lengths. Different story this year. Its the first video and it's a Coronet with a 440 under the hood. I think he got a little suprise. Here we go.
Didn't work first time, I'll try it again. Video
Looks like the first video worked, second part of video didn't.

I guess it isn't going to work. i guess they figure all racing videos are illegal street racing videos. They banned mine.

 

[CanadaStang]

It says video pornographic, illegal, or vulgar!! Are you sure the video was just of you racing???
Rats!!!! I'd really like to see that!! Glad to hear you kicked some butt!!!

Oops! Maybe I tried to upload one of my "home movies"!

How big are the vids? I can probably host them for a bit.

I only have vids of two runs. I compiled into one video, about 1:45 minutes, i think it's less than 5k. I can reduce it just to the first video too. the second is of me racing a Cuda and losing , it's later in the evening and pretty dark. If you could host it Graham that would be awesome. Would I just e-mail it to you?

I just wanted to make sure they were less than like 100MB or something huge! lol! Email them to graham.mcluhan(at)accesscomm.ca.

Thanks Graham! The video is nothing major, just two runs. You can't see it on this video but when it's on my computer where it's larger and clearer every shift I make a flame shoots out the passenger exhaust pipe. Car is running really, really rich. I have to figure out some way to fix that. I guess a custom tune is probably the only way.

No problem Mike! Do you have the basic SCT programs loaded? Cause I wonder if my car is running rich because I smell gas more often when I drive now. I know the removal of some of my cats will create that smell but I wonder if the car is running rich beyond that...

Whoo Hoo!!! Very Cool race!! Graham is Da' Man!!

Oh good, Whew!!
I don't have mine on yet, I called the dealer to make an appointment to get it put on, [as they told my g/f they would install it at no charge]but they told me they were too busy right now and would call me when they had an opening. That was 3 weeks ago Guess I should have asked her to call.

 

[Silvr04GT]

Well I'm gonna follow the little how to on MustangWorld and do mine myself. The wheel shipped today so I should have it in the car by the weekend!

I've never had a steering wheel off a Stang before but looking at the MustangWorld how-to it doesn't seem too bad [mind you I've said that before Ahhhhhhh!!!!] I hope you get it on OK, without the air bag going BLAM!! Will you be posting pics of it on your car domain? I'd really like to see how it looks when you get it on.

Ya, I'll post pics here and on car domain. I'll let ya know how the install goes.

I have 3 "custom" tunes on my programmer. They were made for a car with similar mods to mine but not done on my car. I called my tuner today and he thinks the problem may be from something before the tune and the tune is just amplifying it. Maybe a vacuum leak of some kind. It was puffing grey smoke last year after my head swap so I think it was running lean then. I didn't have any mil eliminators or O2 extensions on yet so I figured it would be fixed now. Guess not. I'll see what I can figure out and let you know if it's something your car may be experiencing.

 

[Silvr04GT]

I forgot that you had a head swap thing going on. I bet it's just the reduction in the number of cats that cause the smell. Cause I get pretty decent gas mileage and no weird smoke or anything... With the mods I have I don't think I would need anything different than the stock SCT tunes.
