finished my last winter mod today

over the past 2 weeks, i had a converter put in, added the pfab reservoir, and today i added my 2nd battery.

last time out at the track, i was dead before the 3rd pass, running the bottle heater in the cold, plus the intercooler fans takes it's toll.

i will take my generator with me still to be safe, but the extra battery should do the trick

my best so far is 11.82, on my 04 cobra, the pfab gave me 15rwhp and 30 ft/lbs, i'm figuring it ought to do close to the same with the truck should be good for a tenth or 2,

my best 60' so far is 1.63 on the stock converter, the converter i think should be good for a tenth or 2

Sunday is actually looking good for race day, the track should be prepped good and it's the last track day til late feb

if the coverter does what it is supposed to, i'm hoping for at least 11.5's, but would love to get thrown out for running too fast in the 11.4's

guess we'll see, 55 for the high, so 9 to 10am should start out pretty cool

and then, no more mods, la de da, ho, hmmm

Good luck tommorrow, wish I could make it but the head gasket on the truck let loose. Time to decide if I want to persue the turbo route. Good luck again.
