Snow caused a delay in installing the roll bar. New Supercharger in 21 days. 10.90's by April. :burnout:

[Zack]

10's are so 2009. :puke:

Im gonna drive a fast car this year, my Cobra. :woohoo:

Poor Linda:shake:

Seriously though hope it happens for you :beer:

[Pops]

A set of slicks and change the tune and I have it. I may not haave to change the tune as I think the street tune will do it. Zack go back to the Mustang forum!:P Merc I am on your side till we line em up!:D

[SC Cheesehead]

Hmmmmm, Doomie not gonna weigh in on this?

[RR|Suki]

I'll be there ;)

[Pops]

Hmmmmm, Doomie not gonna weigh in on this?

Bet he is still sleeping. He would be to slow anyways!:flamer:

[rayjay]

The only way I'm ever goin 10 seconds is by riding with someone :D

[SC Cheesehead]

Bet he is still sleeping. He would be to slow anyways!:flamer:

Go fast = No bling!

[FordNut]

No roll cage for me! I might put on the drag radials and empty the trunk sometime this year just to see what it'll do... and get kicked off the track.

[Pops]

I got the Bling Rex! It has not slowed me down!;)

I know how you feel John! I waited a long time to get mine back. Now it needs another trip fpr a roll bar and I am saving my pennies up for it. Hope to have it ready for Sept. playing. I will go places that do not ask questions till then.

I didn't have my best showing at SSH9, but managed to overcome this situation and bring home second place in my class. When running brackets, experience wins most of the time. That's why Paul is the King of N/A. Martin wins because cash is king. Sherman, Chris, and I have more track time then most on this site. Don't play with fire Pops because you might get burnt. :flamer: PS: Watch Pass Time Wednesday night at starting at 9:00 P.M. See ya at the races.


Hope to have it ready for Sept.

I will have 30 10 second passes before you are legal.

[Pops]

Hey Merc I like fire! When it comes time for us I would like a good old heads up race! If all goes well either car will give you a bad time. Bolt is working on a couple of more tricks just for you! I hope to playing in the 10.90 class at Atlanta with the Mercury. That will be a tough place to play you can bet!;) Trash talk is fun!!!:flamer:

Yep, all it took was money and nothing else.

Think of the old days Brian. Things have certainly changed over the years with the cars and et's around here.

[ImpalaSlayer]

Y'know, I haven't heard much of that 12's NA commentary lately. Wonder what happened with that?

i ran 12s :D

[hotford]

Well if your talking in the MM i'm shooting for low 12 on a drag radial when I install the trilogy.

As for my other toys...I'm not saying which is which but one of them is well into the tens and the other is pass that stage.......:banana2:

[FordNut]

i ran 12s :D

Gave up on that NA part, eh? <-picked that up from all the olympics coverage!

11.70's are easy on the wallet.

Been tied up with two major projects for my company. I am here a lot but just reading threads.

Oh yeah, I hope to be the next one in the 9's:banana2: Gotta get everything right to make it. You and John Nero will be the next two in the 10 second club.

Bars going in this weekend. The the project begin. :P

Didn't mean to leave you and Brian out. Brian's car certainly has easy potential for 10's. If he is racing this weekend, he will prbably be next into the club for sure.:beer:

[Pops]

It will be a fun year. I think maybe 6 cars will find the way into the 10 second club. Mongoose is the other one lurking behind the scenes.

Id be close to the 9's if I beefed up the rear axle, but I dont see that happening this year.

I will! I am still working on the street tune. Put the 110 and change the tune plus a set of real slicks should make it easy. Keep posting about your car!:D

[JimP]

Been running tens for a while now just not in the MM. See sig.

[Pops]

I think the kid is faster than you are!

[jflave]

If the rest of the MM is set up right how much rwhp is needed to do a 10sec. pass ? Going for a dyno tune tomorow and i'am trying to gage the results i get. What ever the #'s are i'am going to drive back to Atco for test & tune night. JD's performance in Huntingdon Valley,Pa.is doing the tune. :dunno: Maybe i'll get close.

High 500's or low 600's with some weight reduction and a roll bar if you are serious. Stock motor will go boom if your run it at those levels.

[Tyrone Minto]

Droped it off this morning, i THINK it should make it will make 550/600RWHP :dunno: we'll see. Still have to do the trans & then a cage,but i still want to make a pass at Atco tonight,if i have time.

I'am not good with computers but if you go to a thread i started on 11-29-09 @12:30pm New engine here i'am happy it has my motor build. Also using a Novi 1200SL, should make 15lbs+, i should know latter.

[Glenn]

11.70 is my goal for this year, no NOS

At least 460-480 HP is needed to get into the 11.7s.

This week i drove to N. Lawrence,Ohio (Fox Lake Power Products) & picked this up. New alum 4V 4.6 block,bored/honed .002 w/deck plates,Kellog stock stroke forged steel crank,Manley H-beam rods,Diamond pistons dished for 9.3-1 comp w/valve reliefs,Moly file fit rings-rods-main brgs all balanced,Melling oil pump w/billet gears. CNC port 4V heads multi angle valve job,Ferrea S/S std dia valves, hi pressure Crower springs & ti retainers,Bronze guides & flo tested, GT super car cams,Fel Pro MLS head gaskets,ARP 2000 head studs. New timming components,gears,chains, guide shoes,ch tensioners. All bolted together w/valve covers,windage tray,pick up & oil pan.... Sent intake manifold out to Extrude Hone & ordered a 8 rib pulley set up.... Thanks to Dennis Reinhart for his advice. ....Tom Kasper @ Kaspers Korner in Gloucester Twp, NJ. will be doing the install & the hard work of setting it up for me. No one else touches the car so that will tell what i think of Tom... IAM HAPPY.

Looks like he has a motor, maybe a little low on boost. The important part is does he know how to launch the car and what type of tires is he running. We will find out soon, best of luck to you.

Get a bigger blower.

Zack, i agree with you but i had this Novi on before i had motor built & i want to see how this pans out. Dennis Reinhart has said some things to me about Novi 2200. Remember i'am old & slow. :)

Take that entire kit off, sell it and convert to a Whipple 3.4 :up:

[jflave]

THANKS MERC, i will need some luck.

[Zack]

I guess jflave's setup will make about 530rwhp at most.

[merc]

Would love to see the 03 cobra version of this blower. I kind of like the new LC stuff.

Its great that its cooled, too bad its PISSASS Ugly. :puke:

Too much blower for our motors. I believe that they lose efficiency on our displacement.

[merc]

Too much blower for our motors. I believe that they lose efficiency on our displacement.

Somehow I thought you would say that. That's why a Whipple 2.3 is what I picked. Very street able with good race habits. 600 rwhp is my goal and that's very obtainable with the current setup. Now I have to save some funds for the TH400 conversion you are offering. Send me a P.M on cost and projected time. Oh, do you accept food stamps. C-clip eliminators are important also. Which should I do first?

[RR|Suki]

Zack, i agree with you but i had this Novi on before i had motor built & i want to see how this pans out. Dennis Reinhart has said some things to me about Novi 2200. Remember i'am old & slow. :)

Get a Novi 2000, it'll get the job done. I made 540 or so on 9 psi. We'll see what it does this year on a couple more psi

[CBT]

Jesus, look at those fender badges! Reminds me of the 60's 70's muscle cars where when you saw something like that on the fender, you knew the car meant business. I'm not a Mustang fan per se, but these pics sure make me want one. 800 hp? Sheeeeeyaaaaaaaa!! I'd take one in a heartbeat, mmm-hmmm.

Might want to look at a 98 cobra front cover Mark. Otherwise you will probably have tensioner problems/breakage issues. With the 98 cover you can put on the Ford steel Racing three bolt tensioner on. Mine has held up perfect to date. Then again, I do not know if there is a difference with a Whipple with the tensioner. Remember that I am a red-headed step child Procharger guy. Just a suggestion. Good compression ratio as well. Zack is right though, need more boost.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Jflave got the car back from the Dyno, on 93 octane for the street it made 565.8 and 477 RWT,Race gas. He made 604.2 RWHP and 509.9 RWT. I would say with a set M/T he will be to mid low tens, its nice to see what can be done over the phone, we have never met, I had Ron Hobart build the engine, he has only a Novi 1200, my kit with a HPX in a blow through 80 lb injectors 410 PI converter Kooks headers. If John upgrades latter to a Novi 2200, the car will make much more, Tom Kasper installed the kit, John has a car he has always wanted, thank you John for allowing me to help.:beer::beer::beer:

Didn't pick up the MM till late last night, DYNO sheets on the seat, it made Max power=604.2 Max torque=509.9. Not bad for a NOVI 1200SL. I got to get back to work. :)

[jflave]

Saw the 12 sec. thread made me think about my car that Dennis is working on, i hate this long hot spell we are stuck with, need a little break to gage how it's going. Anyone getting close ? 10'S ??? :)

[Pops]

I am not far from taking a shot at the 10s. A few issues are getting corrected right now on the car. A new set of slicks will also be in order before I try again. We are still using the street tune and think it will make if I can get some traction. Then its on to the 110 octane tune. I only need a quarter of a second to make it and I think that is in the first 60 feet with some traction!:burnout:

[jflave]

Good luck Pops hope you do it, not easy $$$$. A guy (MM_BKK) in Berlin, NJ is putting up some good #'s, if he sees this maybe he will post something. :)
