So I just got my roll cage installed, and I had the dash and all the interior out of the car. When I got everything back together, turned the key on no fuel pumps. I have a Fore fuel system with controller.
So I check main power and its good, I check my trigger wire that is dark green with a...
When I bought this car I thought I'd just drive it on the weekends and take it to the track every now, and then. I really never thought about making major changes to the car, but the more I take it to the track the more changes I wanna make.
So when I took the car out for the first time this...
I'm thinking of swapping to an auto been drag racing more and more, I'm just curious what kind of time I can shave by the swap. I have an 04 Cobra made 793hp, full weight car, looking into a TH400 or 4r70w.
I would just like hear some real world numbers, cause curiosity is getting the best of...
So I have an 04 3.4 Whipple car, and I really like this car the way it is. I got back into drag racing and all though I built the car to handle the strip I just don't want to tear it up.
So I thought I'd build a turbo auto car for the track but after figuring up what it would cost to build...
I'm fighting a little belt slip on my 3.4 Whipple, with a new belt its no problem, but after some miles I'll loose 5 to 6 psi. I've read where these grooved pulleys cure this, I already have the snub idler and a thump tensioner. So does someone sale these now? I know Reichard Racing used to...
So went to the track today and the car didn't feel right, like maybe the clutch was slipping. I have a Mcleod RXT and the car makes just shy of 800hp to the wheels.
When I would launch the car and shift at 6k, and shift to 2nd then the rpms would be about 2800 and the car would bog a little...
So I bought a set of Billet Specialties last year for the track, 15x8 5.5 BS with 17x4.5 2.5 BS on the front. I never really liked the look.
These had 26.10.5 MT slick in the rear
New Look same wheels, I had them powder coated and sent the rears to Champion and had them put a beadlock on...
Its time to order new tires for my drag setup, I was running some MT 26x10.5 slicks. They were older pair that I had picked up with some wheels.
I'm looking for a tire that has some tread so I can run in a street class if I want but the same caricaturists as a slick.
I've looked at the MT...
I'm looking for a MT ET Street 26x10.5, I had a set but a buddy of mine ruined one at the track and I sold it to him. The other day I went to order one and was told they no longer make them. So now I have a new one with no match. Any chance you guys have one laying around.
Thanks

My brother in law put his car on the rollers today, so I decided to check my tune while I was there just to make sure nothing had changed.
Thanks to the guys a NeuRacing in Wolfforth TX for taking care of me today.

I really like that my car is a street car but I like taking it to the track, my fear is along the mod journey I'm gonna lose the street like manners. I'm actually really surprised I haven't reached that point yet.
Has anyone gone to far? Anyone have that one mod you wish you hadn't done...
I picked up the wife a 15 Eco Boost back in May,and I was wondering if putting a tuner on it is worth it, I only have access to 91 here also. She gave me the green light to do what ever I wanted to it. I've been bored since I finished up the Cobra.
It's black and all I've got done so far is...
I found some 15x10 6.5 back space that are double beadlock. My question is does the beadlock hang down lower than the inside of the rim. As you all know it's already close. Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks

So my car has ate 2 belts in the last 1000 miles, first one was a gatorback and the second was a gates belt. I bought the HD gates belt this time. Does anyone else but me hate the green HD belt? I just hate the way it looks.
So I have read a lot where the tensioner causes it to eat a rib off...
So just scanning the forum as always and I read everyone having alternator problems and I think I'm glad I changed out the stock one when I did my build.
Yesterday go out to the garage pull the cover off and fire up the car just to hear it run been raining here for three weeks. I walk all...
So I don't get to drive the Cobra much just busy with work and kids. This weekend was a different story wife and kids were out of town so lets play. It all started late Saturday night with a new clutch cable install, then I noticed I was low on corn juice so to town I went.
I ran into all the...
So after the recent upgrades on the car its fun to drive on the street, and I love it. When I took it to the track it was a different story, I'm thinking I've over powered the stock trans, on the street the car shifts fine and doesn't really hook up till 3rd gear.
At the track I had trouble...
So I just installed my Mcleod RXT about month ago, and took it to the track the past weekend. The car shifts fine under normal driving, I don't notice anything at all wrong.
So when I went to the track it wouldn't shift, I mean it was like waiting forever for it to go in gear. It didn't matter...
So the build is done its time to see the results, were leaving at 8 this morning and heading 6 hrs to see Mike Murillo in San Antonio. I cant wait to see what she puts down. Here is the build thread if anyone want to take some guesses on numbers...

Ok so the engine is still out about ready to slide it back in, I installed the headers on the passenger side no problems and reinstalled the motor mount. When I got done with the driver side when I went to reinstall the MM solid mount it wouldn't fit under the header. It hit number 7 header...
So I always think about this wouldn't it be a better idea to wash your hands before you go to the bath room than after. Obviously if your just taking a piss and you don't get any on your hands.
I mean I take a shower everyday and put on clean cloths. Just think about all the things you touch...
I purchased this clutch kit from Lethal about 5 months ago and I'm just getting around to installing it. The adjustable pivot ball is way longer than the stock one. My question is do you just install it till it bottoms out? I've read tons of threads on this and it all over the place.
Some say...
Ok so I'm installing some Comp Cams with springs and retainers, do I need ARP camshaft bolts? Or should I just go back with some OEM ones? I know what the ARP ones cost, not sure on the Ford ones. Just would like to know if this is necessary.
I'm trying to figure out what pulley to run on my 3.4 Whipple, it came with a 3.5 pulley which after emailing Whipple that should be good for 24pi. He said that 24 psi is on a stock setup. With that being said how much boost drop will there be with headers O/R X pipe. I also installing Comp Cams...
