I got that far and thought "Two step rev limiter"...

I need help.

 

LOL... no, I don't think so. I plan on keeping this car forever! When it comes due for smog testing in 2011, it will be retired as a track-only car at that time. I'm thinking about going "old-school" with it then, and dropping in a 514 cubic inch motor, with a 6-71 blower on it! That should get me into the 8-sec zone in the quarter-mile!

 

can i have your well seasoned engine you currently have installed?

 

Bummer Don. Okay I can't wait to see your vids with the blown 514!!!

This thread is kinda funny. You can tell who all the people are from modular fords. They are the ones with $7k+ in drivetrain mods, a grand or so in suspension mods, more money tied up in gauges than their stereo, and 85 bucks in body and appearance mods

 

your right i should be faster. thats what a ****ty custum tune will do to your car. i couldnt race it on the supplied KB tune because with the 10psi pulley the air fuel ratio was too lean so i got a custom tune that never worked right. i had to reload it every few runs down the track to clear it so it would run ok. pain in the *** and im out the $$$ for the tune too. now i gotta get the car retuned

 

Car-Fully loaded minus the shaker 1000 $24,500 (with x-plan and a little talking, The littlest things get you so far, they forgot to simoniz the car also so i got it thrown in for free, once they had remembered and called me)
Only about $2,500 in mods

 

That the idea for me. Bone stock looking on the outside beast on the inside. Amount of money I have spent on stereo and appearence mods = $39 for the side strips at the dealership when I bought the car! LOL

Don is right about the built motor thing. I just hope my stock motor holds up till I can build a shortblock on the one piece at a time plan over the next few months.

 

It's true, Mod fords mostly go and TMS mostly show. I have tried to balance a little of both but when I add it up it's mostly show.
