Getting Ready for FFW in the ATL

[martyo]

Well, next week is Fun Ford Weekend here in Atlanta, so I have been commuting back and forth from New York, trying to get ready. It's been a long, strange trip (spending time with my buddy Todd is always strange......).

The car is almost (??) complete and we did some more dyno tuning today. Made a whole bunch of power tonight. If the weather clears we will try to get some 1/8 mile times this weekend, although Todd and I have both agreed that this is truly a quarter-mile car as it comes on strong at the big end of the track. If things go well this weekend, I am participating in a private test and tune next Thursday before FFW kicks off to the general public.

God, I hope this things holds together, this weekly commuting back and forth from New York is getting me tired!

So here is what we were looking at tonight (I posted the same image twice so that you could read it and see the curve):

Holy smokin tires batman. Man can your meats even take that much power. Wow, just when most of us were happy with mid 400 hp and you have to up it by 50%. That is cool, if you can hook up you'll be making lots of folks drop jaw! Congrats and good luck.

I want a test drive!!!!! the car that is.

Lookin good there Marty. Wow does that power really turn into dynamite by 4,500 RPM!!!! I hope that everything goes well for you. Please keep us updated. okay? BTW, have you gone with the manaul shifting valve-body in the transmission, or have you remained with the fully automatic one? PM me if you would rather.

Yep...got to get LK ready. Since we've got the performance issues worked out....I've "interviewed" several detailers to make sure the car looks right for FFW....

I think I found the winner....

Can I detail her?

[TooManyFords]

Todd, nice pictures! I was going to have mine detailed Tuesday (12th) for the two day trip down. But, if she's available Thursday....... (hmmmm)

Anyway, I'd better start making reservations for FFW. Will email you for specifics so I can get all set.

See y'all Thursday! (14th)

Nice dyno sheet. I agree with "how do you hook that power up to the track??"

On the mascot, did you borrow her from the weather channel?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/Twitch777/Mustang%20G/3.jpg (http://www.mercurygallery.net/mmnet/data/506/1524Picture_227.mov)10 secs for that is about it for me.

[FordNut]

If you get a chance, you ought to take it to Reynolds this weekend. That place really hooks up. I launched at 2200 rpm today. Never been able to do that before without just spinning at the tree.
