Fellow SoCalers I'm doing a crappy job keeping SoCal Events updated. My excuses -- Before I 'retired' I had T1 access and now my home access has been crappy lately, and then I run into speed problems and just do not have the time it takes to wait it out and do a good job...

I have the Apten blower mod, and have been running the 2.80 upper pulley. I'm adding the 6 lb lower. I think the 'pre-Apten mod' standard was 2.93 upper with the 6 lb lower. Anyone gone smaller with the 6 lb lower? Comments in general... James

LACR is finally giving us some 11s. Jonas -- 11.72 with the ET Streets. Adam -- 11.94 on his first run of the night (backed up with 11.98) James -- a desperation 11.96 on my last run of the night after a 12.02 and that sinking feeling that LACR was kicking me in the teeth one more...

Testing the water... Anyone interested in either 12/26 -- The last Friday grudge race, or one of the Hangover days 1/2,3 or 4? This would be a couple of last chances to get a '2003' 11 sec run at LACR for all of us wussies that don't have one yet. Sound off... James

Adam has the Piggie in the 11's. An 11.75 followed by an 11.90 Still low MPH 117. Makes me think he did it all with the launch. He said 1.64 60 foot time (!) (since I'm in Florida, he must have launched at 5,500 rpm ha ha ). I conclude, with that speed, we have not gained any...

Somebody posted a good wiring diagram for the battery relo on the 2003 --- I can't find it. Need to kill the alternator... Anyone remember the thread? James (need by tonight...) ************* good responses ********** That's what I like about this forum... JW

The good. The following thread should motivate us to get the hell up to Sac. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63974 The bad. Don't know if it means just Wednesday is closing for winter soon, or the whole shebang. JW:rockon:

As we study the mystery of the Piggie (why it has such a slow MPH in the quarter) the two main culprits are 1. the ET Streets 2. No CAI. Somewhere along the line I just stuck a bigass filter on and forgot it to do anything else... Dramatically, on a head to head run, while running a...

Fellow Ford owners, My brochure says 'Payout Both Days and Trophies Awards Both Days' for all the heads-up and Bracket classes. 'Payouts' and 'Trophys' would indicate complete bracket races to me. Both days seems to imply complete bracket races 'both days' (hot damn I love logic!!!)...

Thread use: Thought is to use this thread JUST to point to the real thread, that way this thread stays compact, posts can be deleted after the event.... The 'real thread' will carry the details and the yakkity-yak *** Fontana Speedway Schedules...

Gonna stick the 315 Nitto DRs on the Vert. For a person who will not be driving fast on these tires, is the wheel upgrade necessary? Not looking for optimum, will not be doing anything but putt-putting on these tires. Oh, maybe an exhibition of speed from time to time. Anyone getting...

Knockin' On 11's Door Mama, take this weight off of me I can't take it anymore. It's gettin' fast, too fast for me to see I feel like i'm knockin' on 11's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on 11's door Knock, knock, knockin' on 11's door Knock, knock, knockin' on 11's door Knock...

I've been to two of these. They prepped the hell out of the track for the last one. Good number of cars, 95+% Mustangs (non- Stangs have to run time only.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sals's Speed Shop's Mustang Dray Day 6 Sunday...

I plan to do something for additional power soon. I really like PModdie's new power, but I want to be sure I give the KB proper consideration. I have been reading the posts, and a KB person from another part of the country has privately raved on the KB after a couple of months of use...

Last Thursday on the way back to work from buying some more horsepower, I managed to bang an older (mid-90's) Ford Explorer from the back. :bash: Absolutely my fault. No further details necessary ... :loser: Knocked the crap out of the Explorer. All I could think was : 1. My toy...

Joke ran it's course. JW

Yesterday I took the Vert in because the driver side front window quit working over the weekend. Unrelated, the car has been shifting really badly for the past month - like my right arm is about 1" bigger than my left from grunting it thru the gears -- but I did not mention it because I have...

I had to kill an hour before meeting my wife for margueritas. Dropped by B&D Racing to see if my rollbar was back from being powdercoated. It was not. Bummer. Want to run LACR this weekend and use the ET Streets for a new best time. They will toss me in a heartbeat if I run what I plan...

Most of the tracks out here in SoCal are seldom prepped or lightly prepped. I'm thinking about buying some decent smaller diameter (but wider) wheels and mounting some sticky straightline tires that would not get me booted into a 'hardcore racer' class. Plan to take them in the backup...

Has anyone found a good street solution? High-quality, looks good? Doesn't look like Speed Racer when the top is down... It get's tiring knowing that at any moment you could be tossed off the strip for running under 14 secs. Learning to launch this thing, we expect to get into the 12's...

Updated 3/22. EXIT off 101 on Central. Follow Ventura Blvd towards LA . Turn right on Aviador (2 blocks past stop sign) Red 'DYNO DAY ' sign. PAGE ME at 818.372.0838 if having trouble finding the spot. For the previous thread, see...

Tonight the site is stalling like crazy for me. Anyone else running into it, or is it just my problem? JW

So after all my bitching and moaning about not running into any other 2003 SVT Cobras, it turns out that a friend of mine who lives pretty close who vaguely remembered that I bought a Cobra (but did not remember the details) also bought a Cobra. (please hold the flames about having a friend...
