I might be able to make it to the track.

Ernie: Are you just spraying out of the hole like Ray used to?

Ok I paid my money, so I'm in. Hopefully I won't break anything between now and then, I've got lots of testing to do.

Spool, axles and anti-rollbar for the rear, cage, tubular k-member and control arms, racing seats. Right now it's got a Procharger P1-SC2 with a 4.25 pulley (the big, low boost setup with no intercooler allowed). I run the Real Street class of the NMRA, which has pretty specific rules. Car has to weigh 3200lbs, which is more than it would stock - I've got about 200lbs of ballast and I weigh almost 300lbs myself. Hell, it even still has working power windows.

Nice, I was thinking about the 03-04 terminator cobra's, then slapping the KB 2.6 or 2.8 blowzilla bad boy on there, I was suprised that they can handle the levels of power on the stock block. Any idea what your car traps or should trap?

I like the 03-04 Cobra's but I don't like IRS in a drag car. Right about now Ernie probaly isn't all that happy with it when he pulls up to the line, either. At least a solid axle swap in the Cobra is a bolt-in, unlike the major fabrication an FD would require

Best pass with the Procharger so far was a 10.06 @134.51 at Atco a few weeks back. With another set of slicks I should be able to run a 9.90 in the better weather/conditions in Bowling Green in a few weeks. That's what I'm hoping for, but a 9-anything would make me happy at this point, it's the last event of the season.

Trap speed in these car is more indicative of where your powerband is than how much HP you're putting down. A couple of the nitrous guys put down 600+ and trap the same as I do, and the BEST number my car ever put down was 566 to the wheels. The record MPH in my class is 139, set by a guy who runs consistent 9.85 and as quick as 9.80; and spinning off the line, he ran a 10.05 @ 139 in Columbus.

Nice times esp for the weight of the car and power its making...sounds like you have the car setup really well. It will be interesting to say the least.

He's a regular at Mason Dixon and just found out about the track rental.

6pm-10pm the track itself will be open for runs. You can get in the gate as early as about 4-4:30 when Todd and his wife will be there. I believe he's accepting cash at the gate instead of paypal if you haven't already taken care of that. I'm planning on getting there around 4:30 myself.
