I really hope my car does okay. It definately has a 15.4 in it. I would really like to break 90 for the trap. If I can't get a decent 60' though I have a feeling I'll be in the upper 15's to lower 16's all day. I really have to learn to drive it.

Meeting up again sounds good to me.

Nah I'm going to just go for it. If it spins it spins ohh well. I'm not going to be upset. I've been driving with it problem free all summer long plus 30+ dyno runs as well. I'm hoping I just spun it a little and got it hot in the burnout last time. Will see come the 19th.

There was a mustang on the dyno all day. So no go just yet but it's next in line. Drag radials are a great idea.

jeez, everytime i go there its a mustang on there haha.

ya i found some bfg drag radials on 17's for cheap. i wanted to get 16's or even 15s and grind down the calipers, but i dont think i'll find a set as cheap as these before the 19th, and i want to be able to use my added power

Ugh. Is that why Ted couldn't get it started the other day? How in the world will they cover it under warranty with the turbo kit? Did you tell them it was an '09?

BTW, do you still have your stock injectors? If not, I have some #34's you can use on Kim's car.

Saw your car at Ted's today. I'm glad you got that covered under warranty. Those guys have connections.



BTW, you are going to have a lot of driving to do if you want it all broken in for the track. Road trip!

hey! howd u find that out? the car is amazing. i can't really drive it to full potential yet because i'm still breaking in the clutch. but pulling it through second gear the tires spin, and 3rd gear it takes off.

Nick Did an awesome job on the install. It was super clean. And ted of course put an amazing tune into it.

thanks Jannetty Racing!

I want to run race gas but don't know anything about it. Where do ni get it and what does it cost?

I'm still trying to scrape up the money for slicks.
