thats awsome man! what kind of fan are you running?

Dang that engine is setting nice in there to looks good man

thats awsome man! what kind of fan are you running?

running black magic duals, ran true street at nmra two weeks ago and after a 40 mile cruize and three back to back hot laps the hottest it got was 190, i'm not running a thermostat, just a restrictor. it works great!

nice ride and clean car, you are wright it is very close to my engine and car build. you may be a few hundred pounds lighter though. you have the comp cam specs look like. i was going to run that cam but i dicided to go a little bigger and diff lobe seps. hoping to get my heavy car in the 5.90s later in the year when it cools down. going to put a 4.10 in it.

410 gear and a single stage

real nice ride Tom, sounds like it runs as good as it look`s:)

any updates on the last time out at the track? how did it do on the spray?

well, the first pass on spray was the last for a bit. the detroit locker took a **** and destroyed the ring gear. it was not pretty, although kinda expected. nothing better than having to load your car on the trailer with a floor jack, (makes you feel really dumb) but what the hell, if it were easy everyone would be doing it , right? anyone got a spool and some 40 splines for sale. lol - tom

man that just blows me away to see bff stuffed into a fox body cool ride for sure!!

hate to hear that. you were making way to much power for a limited slip unit. i tried that with my old 466 and it almost out me in the wall. so i put a set of 5 lug 33 splines and a spool. its works great no more issues. i am puting my 4.10s in now and will try it next thursday night. hope for some 6.0s in the heat maybe 5.90s. got to get my 60 back down and it will go.

yeah, i knew i was on borrowed time with the rearend, just starting my family so funds are tight for a bit but i'll get it back together soon. it seems you are well on your way with your car, badass, keep me posted on how it runs thursday / gl - tom

same here just had a new baby on july 2 so mamma will not let me out to play yet. i will be back out next week so i will give you some updates and video.

did you get it out yet?

yes, thursday of last week. no good runs, the car kept blowing the tires off and it was all over the track. i have some vids i will post this weekend but i did get a good 60 on one pass 1.36 but the car started running out of gas before the 330. my fault. i run only 2 gallons at a time and did not check it because the 1st 2 passes were blow offs. the gears put my shift points in the right place and picked up .03 on the 60 ft. doing some changes to the rear end suspension. i have the s/s lowers on now and they are planting the tires too hard. the car hooks but soon as the front tires hit the ground they unload the the rears. so im going with the upr lowers and a anti roll bar. i have the upr uppers on now. changing to a stiff wall tire also. hope to be back out in 2 -3 weeks. it still went a 6.15 all over the track spinning with a 1.39 60 ft. on the only full pass. it had to take power out to get down the track. track was not good either. still on the 5 second quest. i know it will do it when the weather breaks. nuff of mine, so how you coming with yours.

finally got the car to the track last sat, it went 1.27 in the 60, 3.68 to the 330, 5.7108 to the 8th@120 mph, 7.4880 to the 1000ft, @135 where it was on the limiter, to an overall 9.0371 @ 142.77. i'm currently running a 410 with a 7000 pill in the box and hit the damn limiter at the 1000, i'm droping back to a 370 gear and hopefully i can get my 8 something pass to end the season, oh yeah, this was done on a 150 shot, i think i'm going to hit it with 225 and see if my et streets will still stay hooked - lol tom

woah, that's movin! Nice :D

woah, that's movin! Nice :D

yeah, it finally made a good #

Those are some good numbers man. she runs good on the gas. i have not shot mine yet, just got a bigger fuel pump and the rear susp. upgrades done. hope to be out soon. i want 5s on muscle before i shoot it with a 180 shot. you got any video of the pass? how are you keeping the front end down of does it wheelie bad? thats a good 60ft.

well, i took it out sat and with the 370 gear, it just dead hooked the tires and put it on the bumper (literally) while it looked cool on the vid it did not help getting down the track, luckily i only flattened one tube on the pass side which i already fixed today, think i'm going to try again on wensday. perhaps a degree out and straping the front will calm it down, or i'm going to spray it harder to get the proper roll out i need, we'll see!

hate that man. tie it down will help alot, i'm going to use a timmer on mine when i shoot it. .4 out then hit it with a 180 shot. my buddy had a 85 coupe with steel cj heads his 501 had went 6.0s on hp and 5.59 on a 175 shoot on a .4 roll out with no tie downs. he had front shocks all the way tight and back ones 1/2 way. good luck next time. im taking mine next thursday or saturday.

Hey Tom did any one post the vid yet? I think you would've flipped it over if you had stayed in it:eek: I'll see you out there wednesday:D

Very nice car! Impressive #'s. Where are you guys running at? Martin?

I wish! I already put mine away for the winter. Plus it's about a 8-9hr. drive for me from way up here!

well, car went 8.48 at 161mph with a 1.27 60ft at the last event, i did step up the spray a little , lol and it still wears the et streets! if anyone is interested there are some vids of it on you tube from one of our no et events. just look up "cobra tom"

good lawd! Getting close to the 7's with a stock block :D Your car is workin!

275 shot - plate but i just bought a fogger yesterday so we'll see what that does. i have to get a shoot put on and some other safety stuff done this winter. let me know how your car runs - tom

i seen the video and it leaves great. i hope i can keep my front end down like that when i shoot it. still going run on motor this year with hopes of the 5s in the cold weather and put the gas on it next year.

Ran car sunday and had a few problems with carb. still was able to see how car will 60 ft. got a 1.35 first pass busting up and let out and a 1.34 second pass and a 3.895, 330ft busting up bad but made a full 1/8 pass anyway and went a 6.19 @ only 107. thats way off but both 60ft and 330ft are a best by far. so i think when it get my little problem fixed it should 1.33-1.32 60ft and be in the 5.90s. the new rear set up helped alot and the car drives so much better. its been a best of 6.09 @ 112 with a 1.38 60t and a 4.015 330ft. so hoping for the 5s in the near future.
