The car looks great, brother! I look forward to seeing the track times that you get out of her...:beer:
Picked me up a car for the strip
- Thread starter unforgiven
- Start date
Great lookin' fox man. Congrats
....3.55's will be a lot more street friendly with the C4....3.73's always an option if the 4.10's are too much!! Remember, it's a 351, plenty of torque!! 
...should be a fun ride!!

Will do, it is thunderous!
Gonna be a fun set up.
3 times at the track?
Assuming limited experience here take it easy till you get some time in the car.
Launch soft, get some speed up a couple times until you find how she feels.

Just finished building a very similar car with Nick Blankenship from E=HP and going by his standards. He was a guest up at my shop last week putting together my buddies car up here in CT with a very similar setup to run in True Street. Nick has won many recent NMRA TS events with his 408 stroker, 200 shot car. I picked his brain on the secrets of running 8's with these cars and the 1st thing we we did to my buddies car was pull out the 4.10's in favor of 3.55's per his advice. Nick's has seen 8.30's on DR's with his coupe with the current set up with 3.55's BTW. There are alot more tricks that are his secrets but a taller gear is not one of them. I am pretty sure that most 9 sec Foxes run a 28" tire. Thats a given no?
oke: The fastest I have been in a push rod Fox is 10.6 and been a Mod motor guy since 2004 so I can only go by what the best I know with a well known track record that I personally know tells me. :uh oh:
It's just about fun for me and I do take it easy.
My other Notch is a Reef Blue 93 Coupe 331/Vortech that I ran 12.16@121mph last time out. I do not know how to launch or do I proper burnout but I am getting there. I will definitely take it easy.

loving the car..i need a track car too
being a track car makes it less stressful since you plan on it breaking or at least that its bound to happen

The 200 shot is the difference.
Agree, I am searching for a used car trailer for this one.
I drive my Reef Blue Notch to the track and it is always in the back of my mind about breaking it and finding a way home.
It is still smaller than the 275 that Competition is refering to with his 4.10s. :shrug:
Yea, I really don't care for that or the handles being painted as well. I doubt I will do anything to the car but take it to the track and have some fun with it.
Should have a idle video clip today.

Good God the internet racer advice in here. Just because Jake the snake's car with a punched out 351 and a 400 shot runs 3.55s doesn't mean every punched out 351 Mustang should.
OP please don't listen to anyone at all at this point. The first thing you should do is take the car to the track and see what it does. Then go from there. Until you do everyone is guessing what might work and what might not.
