Update:

Got bored over the weekend and sick of having a enigne bay that looks like a mess. So I cleaned it up a little, no more harness and throttle cable in the way. I think it came out good well it at least looks better.

Before



After



and a the weekend before I went to the drag strip with the guy I work with. He wanted to see my car run, his mustang runs 10.50's all motor no spray or anything.

Sorry for the Iphone videos


Still having some issues with the trans. I let the mustang leave first so I could get some practice getting off the line without having the car bog. I ended up passing him
This pass it went 10.38@147 mustang went 10.64@130


Really bad launch but the car still trapped 149mph

Update 7-24-13

I decided to sell my RPF1s and M&H Drag radials and get some Hoosier QTPs(26x9.5x16) and Rota Slips(16x7 +40). I am still waiting on my wheels and spacers

Yeah I still have the stock brembos for now, I may have small brakes coming soon if not I got arp wheel studs and probably a 25mm spacer for the front and clears the rear no problem since they are 16s

Update: 8-8-13

Had to get some ARP wheel studs and got 25mm spacers off my buddy for the front and I am running 20mm spacers in the rear. The front studs went in no problem and the rears well had some issues. I noticed the LR wheel bearing was bad so I got 2 to replace both, well the sent me 1 and some how the other one missed the truck and wont be in till the am. So anyways I have 3 out of the 4 done so I am happy. The car will be all put back together in the am. I wont be able to make any passes before the shootout so I am going to do the test and tune next friday at norwalk after the dyno day
