Im going to find a way to get the polished front runners to match. After seeing it out and about with mis-matched rims, my OCD is in overload.

Whens the next UMTR race??? :cool1:
7600? Go 8k!!!!!
HA! I still dont know if KenB has it tuned for those RPMs! :confused:Quote:

lookin sweet and even a little "naughty innocent" like it needs its cherry popped by making a pass or two. A song from Night Ranger is running through my head...LOL!
Getting the Mustang ready to go to Clay City on Saturday to run with the UMTR. I figured I might as well do some T&Tn and have a chance to actually race at the same time.
Hes down to go racing!

Finally getting around to adjusting the Strange Struts & Shocks...
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a049bd17_z.jpg
but I aint qualified! LoL! I guess I better take a wrench with me.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5a9b52a1_z.jpg
Ken B sent me a new tune to try out.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3284f353_z.jpg
So I loaded it up and went and did some data logging. This tune feels stronger, but has some idling issues when its cold, but once its warmed up, its all good.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4883c104_z.jpg
Im looking forward to getting back to the track and seeing what the Mustang will do. It feels really good on the street, (although 1st and 2nd are kind useless with street tires) when I push 3rd and pull 4th. It comes on real strong from 4000, all the way to 7800!
Anywho, thanks for tuning in!
Are you coming to Bowling Green with it?
I wish. But I will be in South Dakota on a Family trip.
It’s going to be Africa hot so you might not be missing much. Latest forecast shows 93 for Saturday afternoon.Quote:

KENTUCKY Dragway (Clay City) is actually a nice facility. The return road needs some Love, but everything else is nice. Plenty of Pit parking.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...beee9c5d_k.jpg
Ive been 160 here in the Nova, and there is plenty of shut down.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9cfe2d9d_k.jpg
Even Racing Jesus approves!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...32394597_k.jpg
Best pass of the day, was my 1st pass. I only got 3 runs, but it was well worth the $40. Normal T&T is Fridays, at $20 and they Radial Prep!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...64fd4440_k.jpg
1st Round, I got paired with this Gorgeous 67!

3" X-pipe with Magnflows sounds pretty sweet.

Now I just need to install a 2 step and get my 60' down and I, hopefully, will have a 10 sec, NA Mustang!

As always, Thanks for tuning in!
That's fuggin awesome Craig! She'll be in the 10s for sure here soon, question will be, how far? :rockon:
Im thinking 10.90s, 10.8's on a great day & prep'd track?? I dunno, but Im looking forward to finding out! :cool1:Quote:

Its pretty much a "plug n play" kinda deal. You un-plug the coil packs, plug the MSD into them, then the original harness into the MSD harness.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ac4ac6be_k.jpg
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3881b8cc_k.jpg
All finished up under the hood, you cant tell anything was changed.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...fa1586a3_k.jpg
Ill just get some 3M 2 sided tape and secure the module here in the glove box.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...51553589_k.jpg
I want to use the button on the shifter handle to activate the 2 step, so I had to come up with a switch to activate the Line Lock. The Lever for the AC/DEFROST/HEAT still functions and it depresses the switch.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0151c461_k.jpg
I figured this lil micro-switch would do the trick! I was just hoping it would still work after 30+ years.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...63faab4a_k.jpg
Key on, Lever up, Nothing. Key OFF, Lever Down, Nothing.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...779d2385_k.jpg
Key ON, Lever down, VIOLA!! We have Line Lock engagement! Key off, Lever down, Nothing!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3704e888_k.jpg
I didnt have a chance to use the 2 step last night as it was late when I finished up. However, this AM, it Worked!! I set it to 3000 and slowly brought the RPMS up. It hit 3000 and stayed there until I released the button!
Now hopefully I can get the Struts/Shock settings figured out and Blast me a 10 second, NA run!!
Ill be out of town next week, but the following week, Id like to head back to Clay City as their T&T is $20 and they PREP the track! If I get it squared away, Ill be coming up to race with the UMTR on Oct 19th! Yeah Im NO fan of Dick Weinle at all, but my Love for Stick Shift racing overrides my lack of liking him. :lol:
See yall soon.
Badass Craig!!! I just installed the same MSD unit.
I was worried for a bit, as reading online, there were a lot of people having issues with it.Quote:

I'm thinking .60s-.70s in the good air and dialed in a bit more. :bigthumb
Sheeeet...If it goes a 10.99999999 with a 9, I can say, I have a 10 second Mustang. Lol!!!Quote:

Its hard to beat how they sound.
Well, the 2 step is installed and Im headed to the track, today after work to try it out. I also want to practice my reaction time and rpm settings to get it all dialed in for UMTR next Saturday!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c43afe19_k.jpg
Ohio Valley is only 1/8 mile, so hopefully I can get some low 7.00s - High 6.99s, or just get my 60' and reaction times where they need to be, and Ill be happy!
Good night at the track last night. I got 3 runs in before the fog/dew rolled in. I was hoping for 7.00-6.99 and nailed 3 6.8s!
Dusted off the old racing jacket and wiped off the helmet.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...338a5dd6_k.jpg
Started with the 2 step at 5500, then 4800 and the last run was at 4500.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...98dcd8d9_k.jpg
Sucks that it didnt record my last 60' as I was hoping for a 1.4x 60'

Damn, she's leavin' pretty good! That fog is crazy tho lol
Woot Woot!! I got my 10 second ET!!
I made the trip up North to race with the UMTR this past Saturday. First past off the trailer, 10.77@126, Bam! Nice solid 10 sec ET! So everything else after that was a bonus for me. I went 4 rounds and raced another Mustang in the Finals! Holy Shit, Im in the Money!! Ole dude chopped the tree down on me an sent me packing to the RUnner up spot. However, I broke out like a stud and went a PB of 10.73@126! Heck, I even came home with $170! So I had a Great night!
Its offical, Im back in the UMTR!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...06525d74_k.jpg
Saw Dave and Jeff there along with some other old friends. I was happy to be back racing and seeing everyone. Im looking forward to racing next year with them all.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5be1b46d_k.jpg
Ran so fast, I lost my passenger side, front windshield molding and bent the top one!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...01a0060d_k.jpg
Ill just race without it.

Personal Best, 10.73@126
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...113ab053_k.jpg
It just now realized that IF I would have hit the brakes, I wouldve won. LOL!!!
Nice job!!!!
Thanks Dave for the "Action" shots!

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a2cc8670_k.jpg
Looks good!
Looking good!!!
That's some good shit right there! Diggin' the old school "bangerz shirt. :cool1: You should have Dave make you a poster for the garage of that first action shot!
Thanks guys!
Yup, I dug the ole Skull & SBZ shirt out and decided to take my buddy Vinny along for the ride. :)
I opted for the lower res download so that I could make an 8x10.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...35606ef2_k.jpg
Now if the wheels wouldve been up, it would have been a different story! LoL!
Car looks great. I can't wait to get back out with something fast.
Car looks and runs great.

Im hoping the weather holds up for our Track Day at Clay City on the 17th. There is 50 of us attending and they WILL be prep'n the track. So hopefully I can knock off some more ET. :cool1:
