Thumbs up Another New Best = 6.111@113.63

Ran the car again last night, and got another new best of 6.111@113.63mph with a 1.35 60'....i still havnt had a chance to change the gears, looking to do that in the next week or so, and the next time out looking to run in the 5's @over 115mph...still using my 8-ribbed belt

What track are you running at? It says you are in Rancho Coucamonga(SP) which isn't too far from me. I would love to see your car, and it would definately be worth the trip for me. Is your car road legal or is it a trailer queen? I just cant imagine you got your car registered with numbers like that.

I was running at Irwindale drag strip, and yes the car is street legal and I do drive it arround from time to time, but for the most part it is a track car....any time your up arround me just let me know

Hey yellow Z, congradulations, that is really hauling some serious ***! You must be the fastest 4th gen out there! How do you like your Ford 9" and what gears/tire combo do you have? I would like to run at the track soon, but I need the rear end and tires first. Your not running cat converters on those runs are you?
I have the flp headers, they have a provision for removing the cats and installing off road pipes, which I planned on doing when going to the track. Maybe will see you out there soon. You ever run at Palmdale?
