Fox Body Mustang that is. He was talking all kind of crap and I was being quiet. All I heard was "284 cubes this" .... "284 cubes can't keep up with the 5.0 that" ... < damn bullies! uuuuhh ok >

I explained to drivers friend that I'm at the track after a long time being away and just wanted to get a few shakedown runs in with my new combination and not out to have the 5.0 beat on me.

Anyway, I ended up running 11.8@118 and he ran a 14.X at like 97 mph I believe. When we returned to the staging lanes the guy stopped talking all that nonsense.

Cheers,
Tim

 

woah!! that's quite a run, what's your mods?

good kill too.

 

CrabhartZ28,
Here is a link to info on my car. I made two shakedown runs a few weeks ago. One against the Mustang and one against a honda? I think it was a honda. here is a link to the video of me against what I think is a honda?

I'm hoping to get to the track again soon since I've gotten to make some shakedown runs and had to make adjustments to the tune. The car was very sluggish on low to mid-range power and hopefully I've fixed that. We'll see.....

Regards,
Tim

 

good kill, you should have kept repeating "284 cubes" over and over.

 

THIS KILL IS COMPLETE B.S.! good to see ya finally got the terd runnin Timmay

BTW.....nice job on the brake checks near the end of the track on the vid...hehe you sandbagger you.

 

hey Brian! ya she's running. time for me to step up the program tho

 

hehe, see my edited post above

 

Super nice Tim.
That thing just keeps getting faster

I couldnt figure out what that car was beside ...errr behind you...lol

 

LOL. I'll be running again soon and am hoping that my tuning ideas will work. Damn car just won't get out of its own way on low end and mid range and I've been tweaking the tune. Always something with these cars

 

yea, some fox body guys are like that...had a kid @ Etown w/ a basically stripped fox on ET's & skinnys w/ Larocca stickers all over it talkin all kind of nonsence...make a long story short we staged and I beat him badly in my 97 LT1 w/ a few small bolt ons...Kid asked me if I was sure I didnt have headers as he was looking at my engine w/ the stock manifolds ...Btw good kill, 2v's have potential just takes a little bit more.

 

that's sweet!

 

The funniest thing is the 4.6 engine is 281cid.not 284cid. Thats how much that guy knows.

 

Exactly. You would think folks would at least know what they are talking about huh?

 

Yea the 5.0 is a great platform...Going over a buddies house today to work on his 87 that ran 11.8's last week....but some of these guys still think its late 80's early 90's..there's much more out these days then some turd gens to kick around
