ratfarts!

Had he done any tranny upgrades, or was he still running his old unit?

[DOOM]

Which car???

:congrats: POPS!!! :woohoo:

[SC Cheesehead]

:congrats: POPS!!! :woohoo:

Tranny in the GM went boom.

Guess that's what mega-HP will do to you. But he'll be fixed and back at it real soon.

Be afraid, Jake; very afraid... :D

Well the tranny let go on the second pass so the tbolt will be coming insted. I know how that feels, after upgrading several other things in the car, first time out transmission lost third.
I know Pops will get her right back again.

[Pops]

The Grand Marquis did the 10.88.:D Lost second gear on her! the second pass as I had to back off to get to shift. That pass wass 11.93. The third pas had no second at all. It slowed down to 13.19 @ 78 mph just off the low gear launch. The interesting part is the 60 foot time was 1.76. A lot more time to shave off. It was a built transmission Rex. This is the first time the car was run with the 110 octane tune in her. I will have to wait till spring to try again! It was like driving a fighter jet!:banana2:

.1776 reaction time
1.7604 60 foot
4.6704 330 foot
6.6322 594 feet
7.0697 1000 foot
10.8828 1/4 mile
129.77 MPH

[DOOM]

HOOHA! :bounce:

Look out, Doomie! :D

Nothing to look out for now!!!

He's running 13's! :shake:

But that's still fast enough to beat you Rex! :rofl:

[justbob]

Wow John! Congrats Man!!

[Pops]

Bob she has a lot more left in her when you look at the sixty foot time. I posted the numbers off the time slip above. It was a thrill ride all the way!

[ntd]

*Sorry John ... None of the run pic's were of any earthly value. There goes any hope of being part of the camera-crew. :D

[LANDY]

TH400 & GV could be nice i agree to this.
if you do John, it wouldn't surprise me to see 9's when you hook up the juice on it.

[teamrope]

Congrats John! I've liked this car ever since I saw the 1st pic you posted way back in the early days.

[glassman99]

Great looking motor!

[merc]

Wow John you really put the GM together nicely. :)

[FordNut]

Great times, looks really good. Sorry about the trans, I was really looking forward to seeing it run next weekend. Make it better!

[Paul T. Casey]

Awesome time(s) for the Marq. Pops. I really like this pic, the kid in the candy store look.

[GreekGod]

Very nice looking cage. Nothing wrong with using a Ford trans in a Ford product.

Put you into the "Dope Stuff" thread on the Huntsville Racing site. Definately BADAZZ! http://hsvracing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=809633#809633

[scoutrjp]

Great run John, sorry we will not get to see it next weekend. Nice engine bay!

[Motorhead350]

If you're not breaking parts, you're not going fast enough.

Good job man! :)

[mlschultz]

Congratulations, John! Hope you get it back together soon!

[FormulaMarauder]

Great times, and great looking cage. How much weight did it add, and how much did you pay?

[Pops]

The car weighed 4430 with me in it.

[CBT]

Holy crap get a haircut!

Casey I can not afford a hair cut! Saving for a new tranny now! Linda cuts it when she can get me to sit down. Not sure I trust her that much right now as she may start at my throat!:eek:

[hotford]

Nice car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pops]

So have you guys figured out how to open the doors yet? They said I needed a mechanical way to open the front doors. I will tell you that a remote door poper will open them but I have installed another way!!!!
