C5, 5.0, and a 350 Hurst/Olds.....
 

I went out to the Gratiot cruise this evening and got some more good runs. I ran on motor all night because I am out of nitrous. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif Too late in the evening to get a fill-up.

First race was a convertible fox GT with all the bolt ons and ported heads. I walked him hard. Not even a race after one gear. He runs 14.0's.

Second was one of those Hurst Olds' that they made in the mid 80's. He had a real healthy 350, with ET Streets, a bunch of braided line coming from what used to be the gas tank... We went from a 2nd gear roll. I gave him the jump and I pulled a car on him till the top of 3rd, where he just kinda hung right by the back of my car. We ran again with the exact same outcome. A very close race.
Third was a black C5 with loud exhaust for sure and I assume the other bolt on stuff as well. His was a 6-speed. We were sitting at a light and I did not expect him to run. He did not even look over. Well the light goes green and SCREECH!! He bolts! I was ready though and started a tick behind him. I ran up 1st right next to him and slammed 2nd and started inching. I shifted into 3rd with him only at my back tire!!!! By the top of 3rd I had only about a car on him too.

It really sucks going out racing without a full bottle. Everyone pretty much has heads/cam/etc... or a bolt on LS1, so anyone with that stuff and a power adder would have handed me my a$$. I just got lucky and never ran into one.

I kinda expected to lose my first street race in 2 years tonight, but I made it out alive!!!!!

I thought you blew up your T-5? Did you get it fixed already?

That's pretty amazing....Two years without losing (in Detroit too). Of course 122 mph traps doesn't hurt. What's your best time, all motor?

Sky, I put in a new trans 2 days after I broke it.

I don't go to real downtown street races, I just cruise the spots and get races when they come.

exgmguy how far are you from detroit. Are you going to be up there for the woodward cruise, and is it that cool?

Sounds like some kick *** runs, sounds like you might run 12's on all motor?

On motor I went 12.80 @ 111 on regular radials. That was the best though. I usually went 12.9-13.1 @ 110-111. I have to get to a good track with my new drag suspension and big drag radials.

I live about 10 miles north of Detroit. I have been to the Woodward cruise every year so far. Truthfully it is way to packed during the middle of the day. I covered a whopping 4 miles this year in about 4 hours. You basically sit still in traffic.

Now the whole week before the cruise is awesome. Bad a$$ cars driving all over town, all night long. Plenty of races to be had.

Nice races. What mods do you have, besides n2o?

My motor is pretty similar to Skymans.
TFS heads (ported to 1262), GT-40 with ported lower, 24 lbers, C&L 73, E-303, 1.72's, pulleys, 3.73's, T-5, Eibach drag kit with 90/10's, etc...

It makes decent power on motor but mostly runs pretty good because I lightened the car to 2750 lbs.

For what reasons did you use an E-303? I'm thinking of using a similar combo without the port work.

Exgmguy, you didn't have any problems fitting those 1.72 rr's w/ the e303, even w/ the proted heads??? Rr's are next up on my list of to do's, and every tells me to go w/ the 1.6's.

Sorry so long to reply....

I went with the E-303 because I bought a bunch of parts for my motor as a package. I bought the heads,pushrods, rockers, and cam all together.

The maximum lift recommended for TFS TW heads is .540. An E-303 is .498 with a 1.6 rocker and with the 1.72's it comes to .538 I think.

If I were to do it again, I would get a custom grind and not have to worry about the added valvetrain geometry stress of the 1.72's.
