Carlsbad 09/15
 

Plenty of time to get ready! All your slick tracks are belong to me now that I will have 275/50/15 drag radials pushing me along!
Anyone else want to go?

I'm going to look into it!

92 GT, 4:10 gears, centerforce clutch, 6# powerdyne blower, bbk h-pipe, flowmasters

Did you get new wheels Ed? 275's are pretty wide. Im running 225 Nitto DR's and couldnt hook up at all at carlsbad. I kept hitting 2.2's. From what I've seen you pretty much HAVE to run slicks there.

Yeah, I was going to pick up a set of welds but it fell through...got me a set of stock 15's I got the BF Goodrich Drag radial and it has 10" of tread http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif

I think I will hook a lot better with them!

I am IN.

So you put those wide tires on 8 inch wide rims? Does it work ok? Is it safe? I wanted to put 245's on my car but the shop said it wouldnt be real safe so I got 225's

I am putting it on a 7" rim. The Manufacturer reccomends 7"-11" for the rims so I am in the clear from what they say.

I am only going to be using them when I drag BTW.

I cant believe they told you that you shouldn't put 245's on 8" rims! Just about every stang I look at with 7 1/2" - 8" rims has 245's. I kick myself all the time for getting 225's last time I bought rears.

Hope you all can make it out...

I am on 275/40/17's and I can get any traction at carlsbad, I spin a good way through 2nd gear my 60foot times are usually 2.1 best of 13.6 @ 105 on the motor

well, my best on street tires is a whopping 2.3 so I will be happy to pull 2.0-2.1 if I can. I am going to be pulling the front sway bar too...I want low 13's bad!

Hey sky, you going to get that nitrous of yours working?

I hope they hook. I have yet to see anyone hook well yet with drag radials at any track though.

My slicks wont break loose there though, so I have no problems.

It will all be working.

Well, I went back and forth about it. The only reason I decided to go with drag radials is the stress on the driveline slicks would put on it. I am already stressing it hard with N2O and a heavy car.
I am going with the widest tire possible with the turbines and have heard lots o people saying they cut really good 60'times with em...If it doesn't work out well, I guess I will go buy a spare tranny and get slicks

-ed

one thing I haven't done is get the drag radials hot because of a weak clutch, do you guys reccoemnd doing a big burnout with them?

Hey are you going Jesse? You never mentioned if you were or not...

I know if I want the best 60' times I need slicks but I would like to keep things working at least for at least 6 more months.

-ed

Ed, I think a good set of E.T. streets will work damn close to as well as a slick. You can drive em to the track too if your lazy or dont want to get your interior all dirty hauling em up there.

I hope to have everything done and go to Fontana on the 8th. Im still not positive that I will have it ready by then but its lookin good. Are you going on the 8th too? If you and Sky are going to go on the 15th Im in. Lets meet up somewhere and get lunch before or just drive through somewhere and eat while waiting for them to let us in the gates. I would go back after I get my dyno tune but whatever. Im in.

I wont be going on the 8th..your car has to registered in CA to race there! (mine is AZ)

Sky is going on the 15th to Carlsbad as well as 6 others from yuma and some other ppl I know in San Diego..should be fun..hope you can make it!


-ed

I need to make a list of all the CA stang guys on this board so I can mail them all and drag their asses to the track when we go.

I can't wait. Hopefully I will get an 11 this time.

Hey, I am still up for going next weekend but I wont be able to access the forums here until next the 14th cause I am going to Camp Pendleton for the week and leaving tommorrow morning. If you want to get something to eat before hitting the track decide on a place and I will check the site right before I head back to CA on the 14th.

See you guys next week..

Sorry guys I cant make it to Fontana on the 8th. But I will be at Carlsbad on the 15th! My car isnt done yet. I got the heads on, the headers bolted up and the rockers adjusted. But I still have to slap the intake and valve covers on and replace a leaky radiatior. Should finish it all on Sunday and be at the track with you guys on the 15th. Sky, You've got my cell #. Call me up before you go.

I am going to try to make it out this weekend, I went last saturday but I blew my clutch on the first run, it broke about half way through 3rd gear, I still managed to coast through at a 13.0 at 80 somethin MPH first time on the squeeze, clutch couldn't handle it, I was fairly happy with the 60ft time too it was a 2.0 with a 8.1 1/8 so hopefull I can run a mid 12 with a stout clutch, will be installing tomorrow, so I hope to see you guys there.

If i had known that earlier I would have gone tommorrow!

Guess I have to wait a week...

This is GREAT! I had planned on going yesterday and meeting you guys down there but MY SHITS NOT FITTING! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif My upper intake is hitting my valve covers!! Even with a 3/8 inch spacer it hits. I ordered a 1 inch spacer on wednesday but they have to pony express the damn thing here from Ohio because all the planes were down from the national disaster on Tues. It should be here by this Wednesday and I hope to have it all ready and meet you guys next Saturday.

Are you sure they will fit? Will the backspacing be correct? Are they 5 lug? I really really wanna make a pass on them. I hear that if they expand and catch your fender that they will throw you into the wall halfway down the track...I REALLY dont want that to happen http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif.

Ed,good luck man, BTW are your wheels 4 or 5 lug? These little 225's hook ok for daily driven street tires but I need some more meat for the track.

So who's going this weekend? where you want to meet? We should get something to eat first.

Leon- Thanks, I am trying to get it fixed tomrrow if I can. I have no way to get it there really though.

Jesse- They are 5 lug. They should be fine. I ran tires that stuck out farther than the wheel well and they hit before. No big deal except for some burning rubber on the fender. I saw a guy in a 98 camaro runnning 28" et street thats were sticking out and rubbing. MAN did they smoke on the lanch as they grinded into his fenders. Ive never had any problems. If we try em we can see if they are gonna work anyways.

I will know tomrrow afternoon if I am gonna be able to make it or not.
