Ponies on The Run (Again)
I spoke to Leo last night from the track. The result?.....
I'll let him elaborate.
It just reaffirms my decision to get som big azz meats out back.

Can MGW and Scott Drake co-exist?
Since MGW has no plans on releasing a power steering, brake reservior and washer fluid caps, think it'll look okay mixed in with my chrome oil, dipstick, and coolant tank caps?
I'm thinking yes since it'll be a 50/50 mix.
Thoughts?

Yeah, that would look pretty good.
They dont shy away from the condiments on the Pinks dogs do they?
Leo, I bet if you got some street slicks, you wouldnt spin at all...

I've heard that the drake stuff had issues w/the oil dipstick so beware.
I was pulling for the new tires to be better dang. Deep dish and 275s might have to be next

I have always loved those caps, but prefer more of a chrome appearance underhood..... those look more like a satin finish to me. You'll want something polished, right Bill?

I came very to getting those myself. One day I will have them under the hood. I think they look great. You can even get them with the Pony in the center now.
Why not go 285?

Brian-All the parts look to be very well made. Let us know what you thought of the dificulty of install.
Went to the track with negative results as Bill reported. Got a little better traction but not enough. My best time was a 9.6. Heck with just a intake and tune I was running 8.8-8.9's. I told Bill I was going to try lowering the LCA's to the bottom hole on the relo's next time and possibly going to another track. Worst case scenario my track days are on hold untill I get some drag radials.
Not sure if 285's would've made the difference since it's less than an inch in difference between 255 and 285

I say if your going to get these get the whole set and drop all the mgw stuff. A mix of MGW and SD will look wierd IMO.

IMO with what you've done and you're not seeing improvements... the only other constant is the track. Something doesn't add up

I also meant to ask two things what was your tire psi....shoould be down to about 10-15 and how much of the problems are track related ? I remember a post by don_w shortly after I went talking about how bad Qualcomm was? is it still a problem? was there too much moisture in the air to aid in power making as well as making the track slick ??

You guys know where I can find hood pins like the one below without the lanyard? I'm not too big a fan of the ones SHR/Steeda sells those Sparco ones or w/e. The pin is really bulky. I just need pins bad. Hoods moving way to much to enjoy highway driving.
Anyone know of the Shelby pins have stainless steel screws or "rust proof"? Rust looks tacky IMO =P

Ready for a ride?
I'm experimenting with some camera mounts. One on the windshield and another one mounted between the seats. Tommorrow a test run in the morning, maybe Palos Verdes not sure yet. Next maybe something external

This shot is from Shelby's Terlingua Mustang at SEMA, can't remember if the screws were SS. They make a Shelby and plain version, I think Scott Drake sell it also?
