Well guys, just to update on the car. I have decided not to dyno right now and I am going to go to the local 1/8th mile dragstrip and test the monster there instead. I will be going Wednesday night because that is test and tune day. And it probably won't be crowded at all. I am goin to have videos of it but I still got to get a video capture card. I will try to get them on here asap.

OK guys. I just came back from the drag strip. The car was running like a champ. My father was actually the one driving it because we worked on it together and he also funded most of it. Well anyways, the best run in the 1/8th of a mile was 6.86 seconds at 101 mph. I would have to say that is pretty good for an NA car with mostly stock body. I road in it once and the feeling was unbelievable. I will get videos on here as soon as I can, I still have to buy the video card to capture my film. It should be running mid 10's in the quarter.

Actually, we should be getting the hood tomorrow. And we also just bought an enclosed trailer for the stang. We didn't feel right towing it on that little POS. And if we want later, we can buy one of those little golf cart type things and fit it in with the car. More pics soon.
