10.77 at 127.8 mph tonight in 99 Cobra

I'll see if I can get some pics up on Friday or Saturday. I had it made in a shop in Crane, TX starting with a Chassis Engineering chromemoly kit. The guy knew what he was doing. I may have to convert it to an 8 point.

how much did that end up costing you. I need one because my local track is starting to crack down on stupid shit like that.

 

[Joe Lynch]

I don't remember exactly, about $1200 including the kit, I believe.

wow..a little more work in your car than i had thought.

car runs awesome though man. congrats.

Near as I can tell, the engine work is worth at least a 0.5 second. The car ran 11.6 at altitude with the stock motor on a 100 shot, so I bet it would have run 11.3 or so at San Antonio last week. It was not a slouch with the stock motor. I just never went to sea level and ran it like we did last week.

The secret to this car's performance is the launch. I can get 1.43-1.45 60' with the new motor and I could also do it with the stock motor on a 100 shot. That is better than most 4.6L convertibles. I got the chassis right on motor, THEN went to the power adder, a little additional power at a time.

yea, i noticed you cut some IMPRESSIVE 60's. You still have the stock t-45 in that thing??

 

[Joe Lynch]

Yep, stock T45, but with an alum flywheel.
