This is my first mustang but not my first drag car, so I will be asking questions and getting advice from you guys , if you don't mind. My screen name is warmachine but i will call my car 1/4horse or Quarterhorse.What looks better? Btw i am no english major so sorrey for spelling or grammer mistakes in advance lol. It's a 94gt 347 8.8 c4 transbreak rev. valve body. I will answer any questions and will give more details when I can, and I can't wait to get it done!!

Sounds like a cool build. What kind of times are you shooting for? I like the name, my family use to own a dirt track back in the 70's and we raced a 72 Mustang called Quarterhorse

with a name called Quarterhorse, I'm actually kinda surprised it's not a Mustang II... I'd love to see someone build a Mustang II

But hey, good to see another SN95 5.0 car.

If I get in the 11s on motor and 10s on a small 150 shot I will be more than happy, I think I have the motor for it but we will see.

Finally back from paint,now wet sanding and buffing and building, this will be the first car I put together after the paint work, now all my nice new parts will stay that way instead of being covered in dust and overspray.

I need help. I can't make up my mind on what headlights would look best, new OE, clears, or smoked. What have you seen that you liked or what or you using? Thanks

On a black car, smoked always looks killer. Nice build so far!!!

Car looks killer. Go for the smoked lights. They will look much better on a black car

Went to kil kare test and tune "The Night Of Fire". First off I broke my
shifter handle off when I was loading my car but I could still still shift with
the little nub still left. But I mess up my first run when I started out in second gear
I put it in first and ran it to the 1/8 and ran a 7.45 and coasted to a 12.78 1/4.
Second run I made sure it was in first and blew the tires off, first time on a radial. I can't wait to get it sorted out.

What was your tire pressure at? My ET Street radials hooked good with the automatic but it was only running 12.20`s. I think I set mine about 13psi.

Looks good, not bad for the first time out, all you broke was a shifter handle. Just keep at it, you'll get it sorted out.
