Thanks Manuel! Had a blast yesterday. I'll make a larger thread over in pics and vids complete with pics and (hopefully) vids! And yes, big thanks to the guys at VMP as well as Kelly at BMR (BMR_Tech). Stock motor and it has 9s in it for sure.

I don't have plans for myself or the car to be at NMRA

Nice driving on Thomas. what RPM are you shifting at?

That 10.0 vid was with Kelly driving but we had similar shiftpoints. 1-2 @ 6500, 2-3 @ 6000 and 3-4 @ 5500-6k. He may have gone a bit higher but that's pretty much it. Like i said, i had to drive the car back home 2 hours, so we didn't spin it too high. Launch was nice and easy too.

Awesome!!! Do you have a mod list somewhere? Stock gears?

 

[ThomasL]

Awesome!!! Do you have a mod list somewhere? Stock gears?

Mod list is basically the VMP Stage 6 kit. I run e85. Stock motor, stock gears, stock diff etc. a lot of stock parts lol. I did upgrade the clutch to the Mcleod RXT awhile back after blowing up a stock one. A few BMR parts such as the rad support, and spherical uca and lca. So if you buy a base GT500 at say 55k? And throw another 10-12k at it in parts (not including labor)? It's a 9 second capable car. 10.0 @ 144 proven. Insane bang for the buck.

Ya it is! I've got a 13 with 10% lower, BPS ported elbow Ford racing twin 65, JLT 127, AR long tubes, o/r H, Corsas, Spec Clutch, BMR upper and lower control arm, relocate brackets, adj. Panhard, Ford Racing springs, C&R heat exchanger, and some NTO5 R's, 93 tune, haven't run it yet at the track, thinking of going to Bradenton
Your car looks sweet, and those 60fts are moving!!! Congrats

Good run Tom. Though I don't remember my phone ringing on your arrival though the video explains the mild tremor I felt
