Many thanks to Fastlane crew in Benson, NC
Friends and I planned a trip to the Tail of The Dragon for this past weekend. Videos Here. I wanted to take my Cobra, of which Fastlane installed and tuned the Kenne Bell 2.8H and meth kit last September 2009.
I had some last minute things to check on with the car but all in all I did not do too much. The usual check tire pressure, alignment, made sure had enough Boost Juice for the long drive. I had some engine issues but it was just a fuel rail pressure sensor that went bad and once that was fixed all was good in the neighborhood.
Three of us were going so we all made a checklist of tools, supplies, and cameras to take. I had my GoProHD and a digital camera and the other guys had digital cameras and a flip video camera. We were set to go as we ALSO had Motorola TalkAbouts, a DEF must have.
Now I am back from TN and the Tail of The Dragon and I came in here to tell my story and to say Thank You Fastlane!! I was so happy after this weekend, made me fall in love with my Mustang again.
1. Car drove amazingly smooth, no issues, even for the 5 hour long drive both there and back
2. Averaged 19.5 mpg on highway with A/C on with my Kenne Bell 2.8h and Meth (650rwhp)!!!!
3. NO drivability issues at all, pulled through corners strong, and then turned A/C on back to hotel
4. Tail of The Dragon curves are no joke, even though you are traveling around 35mph through corners it is very white knuckle, especially when you can not see the next corner coming up and who else is coming your way.
I knew I would be sacrificing some drivability with going with this power but the tune was perfect. Check out Youtube Videos here taken with my GoProHD: Moodyj YouTube Channel
Side note:
A. Even the roll cage was not annoying after 5 hours, I was very comfortable
B. All 3 of us would STRONGLY recommend you take some TalkAbouts with you. So much better than calling friends on cell phonesand definitely made the trip 3x more fun.
