Rear end is all fixed up here. Heading down tomorrow night.
Anyone going to Mod Nats this year?

Sorry we missd it. Blew a trailer tire shortly after leaving and couldn't get another in quickly.
Yeah it was 10ply and only a couple years old and out of the sun. We are going to try the goodyears now instead of the china junk.
I gave up on trailer tires years ago. I've since been running BFG Commercial T/A truck tires without a single issue.
Sadly I had a trailer issue and after 4 days working in the garage til 1am we threw in the towel and I only went down to watch and help my friend Scott Hasty with his bad '11 GT.
I'm very disappointed as the car was scary fast datalogging (after having an issue with the new Hobbs switch in the Fore triple pump return kit failing to activate the two additional pumps).
Talking with Lund about their 1100+rwhp TVS2650 5.8 and my datalogs, it seems I was very close.
Having a new triple disc clutch I could actually slip, a new Strange 9" with rear suspension improvements, approximately 100# off the car with new Wilwoods and a few other changes, plus that BAD VMP Gen 3---I was really hoping to turn the last 10.009@145 into a 9.50@150.
Oh well, good to know it's ready to rock come spring. I only plan few small changes over the winter (shift light, Ngauge, boost and E85 A-pillar), plus some fine tuning.
Maybe shooting for NMRA Bradenton.
Scott ran new PRs in 6R class---8.51@161 and several 8.50s and over 160mph! Great job buddy.
This is definitely a must attend race for me.
Justin and crew did a great job and the track and DA make for killer times.
I'll post some pics soon.
Big thanks to Justin Young, Team Beefcake Racing, and several forum members. As long as it's running, I'll be running in Driver Mod next year, plus another class like True Street.

Hate I didn't get to make it either, family stuff came up. Lots of Gen 3 2.650's doing work from what I saw!
Thanks for the TB buddy! The VMP 173 went limp first test drive and the spare 168 was doing work on Scott’s car, so you definitely made the attempt possible. Great group here on SVTP!

Yep very impressive and glad to help him run the beast.
Not even turned up but looking for a sleeved block over winter to run 2-4# more
Stay tuned

No Problem! I've noticed the Vmp Throttle bodies seem to be duds, atleast the blower is working good. Let me know when the car comes out again, I am dying to see it run.
