BAck from the dead!!!!

hey everyone, I get super busy and rairly even get online these days, well the car is finished! LOL... So much for updates but, the car is amazing and drives like never before.

Huge thanks go out to...

GRD performance
Stance Suspensions
Forced Performance turbochargers
Spark tech ignitions
Mishimoto
Amsoil
Girodisc
CL brakes

For all there help with getting the car to where it is now!

I will throw a few photos from the first Redline event, although it didnt go great it pretty much became a long distance shake down for me! haha

And if anyone is curious I went with the FP red and tuned t on E85, at 29psi spike with a 27psi redline. the car put down 431 on a mustang dyno, this was an extremely conservative tune at that. As the year goes on we will most likely get more aggressive with the tune and run some more boost.

on with some pics....

Ryan is running Racing Dominator 10W30 and DOT4 Series 600 brake fluid which has proved to outperform Motuls top of the line fluid.

And thanks a ton Andy!

Between the higher quality brake fluid furthering the great brakes from CL brake pads and Girodisc rotors, it is a perfect combo!

And you were 100% right on that 10w 30 dominator oil, oil temperatures have gone down!

Also, any pics of what other places you trimmed weight off the car? What was your final weight in competition trim?

Back from the dead again!

After numerous issues involving heads lifting, valves not seating, and clutches who prefer slipping............. My car is back in action! Being laid off does not help either, but work looks good and the car is even better!

Got a chance to help instruct this past weekend at the AMS track day at autobahn country club on the south course. The car ran with out issues and for what I call " chill mode" it was fairly quick!

In the next few months I will get back on track with the NASA and Midwestern council events. I have also taken an intrest in autocross, I am planning on heading out to DSM shoot out this year for the autocross / drag race combine event as well. So i will be back on track with updates, pics, and videos, also check out my site hamflex.com for details as well!

I also want to take a quick second and thank all my sponsors! GRD (genesis racing development) especially!!!!!!!! if it was not for this shop i would not have a car to race right now. They have been there every step of the way and have helped me bring the car back to what its supposed to be. Also
Forced performance
girodisc
spark tech
mishimoto
AMSoil
excedy
stance.....

The car is back together, and its time to drive the wheels off it!
