Well I couldn't leave "well enough," alone. I went to State Capitol Raceway
and the conditions were close to Saturday's, a tad bit warmer closer to 60 degrees and these were my two passes. Saturday I was happy with a 10.40, and Sunday I was lost for words.
I finally got my car into the mid 10's, After the Whipple was installed a while back its been steady up hill climb to reach my goal on the stock suspension. I went from 11.06 with the Eaton to 10.57 with the whipple 2.3 with stock upper and a two lbs. lower. I know that its got a little more in...
I have a new rebuild that upon startup is making noise from the valvetrain. The valve covers were pulled and we inspected lash adjusters. upon finding a few that did not appear to be pumped up i changed all 32. When it initially fired up the noise went away and has since returned. The heads had...
Cobra in Old West Scene
I came across this Mural and couldn't help myself...(Click picture) I took picture in Rayne, La. Its designated Frog Capitol of the World. The Guys are holding Bullfrogs in preparation for the Frog race.
I just changed my engine and the car is sitting up about 3/4 higher than orig stock height. The front is now about 100 lbs lighter (battery in trunk) and aluminum block. In order to get proper stance I will probably be better off cutting a coil off frt and coil off rear. I think 3/4 front and 1...
This should be going into my car in January. It was built by Modular Performance. Teksid block, coated pistons, ARP hwd, Canton oil pan, New heads . The old block cracked in number 8 cylinder.

Three weeks ago i made 4 passes within an hour at the local track, running 2.93 with a two lbs lower an a stage 1 steggy port. Best number that day was 11.19 at 124.5. loaded her up on trailer got home 1 hr later...
Last weekend I made 4passes at the track within an hour, when I got it home(trailered) I fired it up and heard a knocking sound....the noise subsided as it warmed up. I took the care to 3 reputable mechanics that agreed it sounded like the piston skirts were the culprit. I removed the passenger...
My car has what appears to be a failing lifter...when cold started it clicks loudly and after a breif warm up it quiet. Its on the passanger side in the middle of the head. How much Money are we talking about to change the lifters?
Thinking about trying this combination, 28 inch et streets and stock gearing. What outcome to expect? Is it too much tire? I know the mph will go up , but what will the ET do?
As luck would have it the window motor failed at the track, still got to make a pass 11.41 with the drivers window all the way down. How much trouble is it to change? I am out of warranty for 2 months now. Part list for about 130.00. :shrug:
Locker shattered PICTURES
Any ideas on the availability of a differential unit complete and ready to install, My locker assy broke at the FFW in Houston off the starting line, thought it was the half shaft but when I looked under the car fluid was pouring on the ground. After jacking the...
I am in the market for a Whipple, who has them and who had the best price, I understand they are a direct replacement, but does that mean the egr and everything line up. Best price I've heard of is $3100.
Well it happened at the track today, lauched decent 1.7, hit second ok, snapped when I hit 3rd. Still ran 12.13 ET coasting..Now..d&d, and Liberty have the parts...Question how tough is it to swap to a 26 spline setup? Should I just send it to these guys to repair, or can any moron pull out the...
Any one knows how to perform the swap, is it easy to do or should a shop do this. The parts start at 260.00 for shaft, and they mention a shim kit. Mine finally broke today at the track (not unexpectedly) going to third. still went thru lites at 12.13 with no power.
