I've finally broke into the 9's! 1.56 60' 9.94 @142. First time at the track after finishing up the tuning I ran 2 back to back 10.1's, a 10.04 then the 9.94. There's still quite a bit left in it. I was kicked out though until I have a 10pt. The car weighs 3520 and I am running C16 race fuel for safety. A few bugs to work out, safety components, a bit more tuning and it'll go low 9's. Injectors and MAF are almost maxed out!
I wonder how much weight I could potentially pull out if I put in race seats, no A/C, and any other weight reduction?

 

**** that's a smoking good time!!! Congrats on that.
Are you sure you want to gut the car for maybe a tenth or 2? Are you making it a track only car? I know you have a spool but it's still streetable is it not?

 

Not 100% on anymore weight reduction. The car is still very streetable. There's only 2 things to change to make it less noisy...the spool and the anti-roll bar. The reason for the spool is b/c I didn't want to take a chance of getting into the wall or something with a locker failing. I wanted to rearend to be most durable. I can just unhook the anti-roll bar and that's cleared up.

 

Good god! 9's!

First one on Mod Fords to go 9's?

 

Congrats Dave - that's beyond incredible. Good to see your hard work paid off On a side note, I haven't been able to get to the forums on modularfords.com since yesterday. Anyone else having the same issue?

 

Way to go Dave.You deserved it.Must of felt awesome.

 

I only got to hold onto first for a week......................... back to the drawing board for Next year.

 

Congrats David,
Get crackin' on that 10pt.

 

It's down, hopefully not out.

 

What the hell Happened to it?I am having withdrawels bad...............

 

Dave,Give them one of your nice pics at the track to put in the Timeslip Thread.

 

I was so close I'll never get it now.

 

Congrats Dave, That is great news.

It is nice to see the car is coming around to you.

I am going to try to get similar results from the Stock Longblock.

 

Man that's awesome, great job!

 

x2...

Awesome job David!

 

X3!
Congrats Dave! That is one bad Stang! I'm sure your driving had a little to do with it also!

 

Would be funny if dave laps Justin Burcham

How bout a 75 shot to get you off the line faster?

Mike only saved 30 lbs taking the A/C out, not worth it


Not so bad having to redo the cage, your main hoop was junk anyway with the bends at the bottom.

 

Very kewl Dave, Congratulations!!


Only way I am ever going to get kicked off the track is for drinking too much...


Yea, I hate to say it but i'm going through the modford withdrawal too.

 

Congrats Dave!! I saw your new time on dragtimes.com and now here. Awesome.

 

Thank you everyone! Me and my buddy Kevin pulled the dash out tonight. I'll be taking the car to Race Car builders to do the cage in the a.m. It was so tempting to gut all the A/C components out. It'll all stay put though. The dash wasn't all the bad at all. It took a couple hours but we weren't steady at it. The freakin dash is pretty heavy with no weight reduction possible unless you fab up a dummy dash.
