Sorry I haven’t been able to post or be as active here as I would like lately.
I moved into a new home about 4 weeks ago and till about a day ago I had no ISP there… only at work with DSL. But fell behind at work because of the new house moving thing and couldn’t work as much OT as I normally do either, so I cut back on the e-mails and forums for a little while. Plus I haven’t done any thing new with my own MM or raced it in about five weeks with all that’s been going on with home and work.
But this past Saturday at the Fun Ford event at Norwalk I did run a personal best in my MM in some very, very hot, humid weather. My MM needed a new posi which is one of the reasons I didn’t race it much as well. But with that all up to speed now with an Eaton posi, I ran a stellar 11.57 and just under 119MPH. This is with the 50shot of NOS on top of the Trilogy 13.8psi of boost. Since I now run 100 octane unleaded race fuel when I know I’m going to race and NOS the car… as long as the bottle is full I’m using it.
While waiting in the heat for my first run I got so sick of the heat/weather and all the waiting because of the size of the event and the turn out, I actually sat in my MM with a buddy with the hood shut and the A/C running for a while till only minutes before the 11.57 pass took place!! As I’ve mentioned in other posts in the past that this for now is still all I’m going to do to my own MM for now. The trans and converter are original still and so is the entire motor and the complete exhaust as well. In a few days its getting a fresh trans and the ’04 MM torque converter because its been confirmed to be a little looser which I think will be perfect for my application. After that maybe a 11.40 something I’d expect.
Thanks
