Default Going for it again!!

Well, going to the track this weekend and going for that high 9.

I've made little adjustments since last time at the track and hopefully it will happen.

I figured out a small problem with the brake system that was keeping me from heating the tires good and I also found out that I was using wrong type of spark plugs.

I know that with those two things something good has to come out of it even if it is just lowering my 60' (Best of 1.39)

I have also been doing a little tuning on the carb to run better with the higher octane fuel.

If anything I have to show Reggie that I don't need that transbrake just yet! I've also been playing again with the reaction time game you posted Reg. Look out...

Thanks Reg. And If it don't run the number then I'll really be looking at the Zex before the brake.

i hope you get the number on motor! but if not, use the t-brake lightly(if possible) until you get used to it. Then you'll be there and have a sweet pic of the wheels off the ground

I thought the t-brake was already in the tranny.....
My Bad

I retract all previous comments....

In that case i recommend a 200 shot of happy gas.....


Buckle Up & Hold On.......

Thanks.... I have to improve because there is no way that I could tell someone that a V6 street driven Mustang could beat me.

If I got the T-brake, I would also have to invest in a set of wheelie bars and for the money between the two I would come out cheaper getting a bottle. I don't know about a 200 shot either. "One small step for all man kind!

If the bottle hits hard enough you will still need the wheelie bars....

Uh Oh don't start talking smack to the V6 guys.....

I heard there is a father & son team that will take your lunch money........
