The Stang runs great Fred, its been high 11's naturally aspirated. We did a good bit of work to it but i still have cams, torque convertor, and an intake manifold to get it down in the low 11's!

Yeah according to my buddy / pit crew I have managed to get both front wheels off the track.

Not by much but enough to join the front wheels up club
And that is just about street weight with pass seats still in and my fat azz
behind the wheel


Dont forget to post up some photo's of the install.


I am off to the track Saturday & Sunday and was suposed to put my race spring back in today. (run stock with a little cut down for street)
It's peeing down with rain so going to watch the Rugby World Cup match in local bar. (England v Tonga)

If it's dry I will head up tomorrow and swap out springs at track.
The cooler air may give me 10 sec pass

No mate

The weather was pants on Saturday peed with rain Friday till about 8 am Saturday.

Sunday RWYB was full of little boys and their hatchbacks.
All sorts of shoite being draged onto the start area off their tyres.
Our mistake picking that weekend.

Did roast a Skyline though and I was spinning well into 2nd gear and still managed an easy 11.6 on street fuel and boost.
It was not one of the best prepped track days.

Enjoyed the weekend with my buddies and that what counts.
Evening meal at local pub - banter - bragging rights - enjoying the craic.
My eldest daughter came to see me and we watched England beat Tonga..

Rebels camped out at the track and sunk plenty Ale too....
Damm near frozen in the morning - over night heavy dew / frost.
Soon be cold enough here to freeze the ***** off a brass monkey...........

That was on street tune / v.max pump gas / 8lb lower 3.375 upper / apart from removing tail gate and fitting bogarts that is as I drove it to the track.
Poor traction from launch, track was not hooking well.
