Update: 5-25/5-26

Went to TPG on the 25th for the dyno day event. They had a great turn out of cars and a few cars made it on they dyno. I was up next and the computer crashed for the dyno so we couldnt put the evo on. We left Blairsville for Norwalk that night.

5-26
We got to Norwalk around 11pm, when we got up I need to go get some e85. So we found a station but all of the pumps were down. I had enough gas to make a few passes. The first pass out the car broke up anything over 3k so we checked all the line and made sure everything was good. Then we changed spark plugs did a few street pulls and it was good. Later on I had some friends bring some gas so I could make more runs.

Had some shifting issues lol but overall was happy with what I did. My goals were to go low 10s and trap 140mph+.


My Best Pass

My buddy got my best pass on film

Same Pass

10.2 at 146



More Passes and me missing shifts






My car started acting up so I didnt want to push it anymore, so I parked it and checked it out before we packed up. The RF wheel bearing is junk so I was happy I didnt make anymore passes.

The trip was a blast got to meet a lot of people I have talked to online so that was nice! I cant wait for the shootout

 

I saw you go 10.2 @ 146mph congrats

 

Thanks buddy!

 

Here is the slip from my best pass:

Update:6/8--6/15

Well its been a little since I have given an update. After going to IDRC I had some issues, wheel bearing and my cluster was messed up. So I started to look into those problems.

I thought I had a bad rf wheel bearing but it was my upper mount on the coil overs wasnt tight. So for the cluster problem some people were saying it could be bad speed sensor or something in the trans. I needed to change my trans fluid anyways so I pulled the plug and found a piece of metal on the plug and some shavings. So I pulled the trans out and took it back to shep to have looked at.








Haha the guys I work with put this on my car when I wasnt there

So the trans is at Sheps now, I should have it back in time to run at IFO in Pittsburgh on the 30th

 

Update 6/24/13

Well I called out to Shep last week the trans should be done for me this thursday, so I am getting it friday and will have back in by saturday. Than I will be taking it down to TPG saturday night for a tune and check it all over before IFO on sunday.

Things to do before IFO on sunday:
-pick up trans
-put trans in
-check all fluids
-drain acd
-alignment
-clean up engine bay
-check over all lines
-tune
-wash

and race

 

Good luck today JT! It's Alex from Facebook. Car is legit man don't think I could ever strip my car that much though lol. Got any pics with everything you have in the car on a normal track day?

In for that 9 sec ET track slip and 150 trap!

 

Hey Alex, what I have in my car when I race is just drivers seat/dash/cluster/Harness thats it lol..I wouldnt strip it this much if it was a street car

 

UPDATE:

6-29
Well I got the trans back in the car on the 29th and I did an alingment to it, washed it and loaded it on the trailer to head to TPG. We got to TPG around 830pm and we put the car on the dyno.

Here is a video of in the car just starting the night @34psi

Car ended up making 734hp/578torque on TPGs mustang dyno.

6-30
We got to Import Face Off around 8 nobody was there yet so we waited and waited and waited around 9 people from PRP got there to open everything up. So we all signed in and got setup and got the cars ready for battle. The racing was going to start at 11 but didnt start till almost 2, they said the track still had water on it from the night before. So 2 comes and we all go stage our cars, first pass out it was Brad Garys 2g DSM(also TPG car) we both left the line good I went to shift into 2nd and got locked out went to 3rd grinded car still went 10.65@144. So on my 2nd pass I had the same issues so we adjusted the clutch pedal to see if that would help. I had Jason at TPG drive my car to see what he thought, he aslo thinks something isnt right with the trans.

Later on in the day I make one more pass car went 10.52@147 , when I got back it started to rain a little so a bunch of people left so I loaded up the evo. They stopped racing to see if it would blow over and it did. A good amount of cars broke so that left me in the running, first round I had a buy and the final round I was going up against a 1,300hp Supra with 125shot.

Heres a video

I got my first 9sec pass 9.97@151.82 ! I wanted to go 9s/150+ this year, so I was happy but now I need to go faster!

Heres a video of both days/my build

 

Cannot wait to see what you have in store for the shootout! see you there! ill be in the beat to hell red car
