If you asking what my answer was to the burnt rubber smell in the garage I haven't found one yet. But I think washing out the wheel wells would help. I did my burnout at work last night. When I went in today I was surprised at the amount of flakey rubber laying around.
PM sent to you and CASEY4S on tips!!!

 

Hey where is that video? Sheesh ive given you almost 24 hours. lol

 

I haven't forgot. It's done nothing but rain here since Thurday. First clear day is forecast on Wednesday.

 

I got your PM Sir, thanks a bunch for the tips. I also have a set of Russell speed bleeders in the big brown truck and will get those tomorrow. I just need to pick up some brake fluid and I am hoping American Muscle will have the kit here by Tuesday afternoon, I'll do the install Wednesday and be all set for racing on Saturday.

I already installed a push button, indicator light and arming switch in my front cupholder just waiting for the SLP kit. I have a better push button and arming switch in route but my temp stuff will do until I can get the new stuff...


EDIT:

Here's a pic of the push button and switch I have waiting on the kit....

 

Look great!!!! Take some vids of you race and burnout this weekend! Supposed to be nice and cool in these parts. How do you like the rachet shifter??

 

For me the ratdhet shifter was money well spent. It is well made, works like advertised, and was a simple install. I like to shift my automatic and this lets me do that without missing and I don't have to look at the shifter.

 

I finally got my SLP line lock installed yesterday. The install went as described by "70mach1owner". He had some nice tips and had me prepared for the little snags. Drilling those two freaking holes is impossible without an angle drill attachment, and I also had to break a bitt of showing only about 3/8" out of the chuck and it was still at an angle.

Another tip, be varey careful installing the new line at the HCU (hydraulic control unit), incorrectly called a proportioning valve by SLP. The HCU is soft aluminum and if you cross thread the fitting you will be buying another HCU (go ahead and ask me how I know this... LOL)

The line Lock works as advertised, I got the new push button and key lock from the big brown truck before I finished so I installed those two things too.

 

Looks awesome David!! Let's see a short vid of how well that linelock works.

 

Sorry I didn't reply quicker. The 05 GT has since been replaced with an 08 Shelby GT. However, the mods I did to the 05 were:

UDPs, C&L CAI, SCT 93 octane tune, Pypes O/R H, Magnaflow catback, Spydershaft, FRPP 4:10s, Detroit TruTrac, BMR LCAs, Granetelli Adj UCA, Pro5.0 shifter, shift light, and M/T ET Streets (bias ply) on stock 17" wheels. I would launch at 5500 and shift gears at 6100. The car consistantly did 8.2 in the 1/8 mile, and 12.8 in the 1/4 mile. Sixty foot times were 1.7 - 1.8, depending on track conditions.

 

Sorry, no video as of yet.


After using it at the track last weekend I decided to add a switch to run the fan full blast without the motor running and put the switch in my front cup holder too. So I added a lighted rocker switch for the fan, an amber light for when the Line Lock is armed and a red light for when the line lock is engaged. Of course I had to make a new plate for the cup holder and re-arranged all the controls.

It looks like this now...

 

Dang David that looks awesome. You must be an electrian by trade....right? I still want to see that vid!

 

Nope, I am retired by trade......

But I do have a background in electronics and am no stranger to a soldering iron. It took longer to make the new plate and do the jewling (machine turning) than to do the wiring. My other big hobby is scratch building tube powered guitar amplifiers.

I will try to shoot a video this weekend some time.
