:thumbsup: so finally i got my computer working, about to weeks ago i went out with my friends for some good oll racing. i pull up to were they were hanging out and everybody started telling me that i have to race a fast civic that was beating everybody, so i let my car cool off, then the ricer with the civic comes up and says " ill run you but i'll have to use my slicks" i said thats fine, so his buddy a couple of cars down starts talking chit so my friend rob tells him how about you unload that fox body of the trailer and run the cobra, so the guy says you dont want none of this, this car goes 9.'s i said ok the civic first. so i line up with the civic not knowing that he has a pro charger, so out of the dig in 1st i had him by 1/2 a car , 2nd gear i had him by 2 cars and 3rd gear i had about 4 to 5 cars on him with the breaks on. so the fox body pulls up, 1st gear dead even, 2nd gear 1/2 a car and i was speed shifting at 5500 rpm the whole time not at 6200, by 3rd i had 2 cars on him and he misses 3rd, so we went from a 2nd gear role and i pulled him by 2 cars shifting @ 5500 (not even power shifting!!!!!!:thumbsup: :bash: :beer:

Truth be known, I am the owner of the 1993 Mustang LX. Yes, I do have heads, upper and lower intake, long tube headers 65 mm throttle body, 3.73 gears, and a 100 shot. Not only is my rear end messed up, and most of the time i'm only pulling with one tire, my 2nd gear synchronizer is shot so I miss second... a lot.. When I raced the '04 I knew he would probably beat me because my car is having a lot of problems. With all of my mods I only have 250 rwh and 315 fpt. Hopefully I will get this fixed in the next few weeks and I will be looking forward to racing the '04 again. I personally feel sad for the other ricers that were there that night because my friend with the civic dominated in his class and they had to call an '04 Cobra to beat him. After hanging out with the owner of the '04 and his friends, I realized that they're really nice guys and hope to hang out with them more often. I also found out just the other day that my clutch cable has been partialy broke which would explain why I missed 3rd as well as 2nd that night.

I have a similiar setup as you kevin78h, minus the juice. After a tune and a couple more odds and ends I hope to be running high to mid 12's on motor.
