    Went to the track today

    Well, it could've been a lot better all the way around. I wet to the dyno earlier in the morning (Alternative Auto) and netted a 292 rwhp and 307 rwtq on a Dynojet (see sig) and figured that would get low 13's. Not even close. I made 3 runs and they were all 13.8's with MPH at the quarter of...

    Going to the dyno tomorrow

    Mod's are in the sig for the 2006 GT. The tune is a 91 octane. Will a 93 octane make a difference? I'm hoping for about 290 rwhp on a Dynojet.

    Parking brake & brake trouble

My question is whether or not there is a good rear...

    The problem is that my engine seems to foul plugs and I am running out of ideas. I have a 950 Holley HP and I think it might be too big for my application.

    Guys, After swapping out my 8” for a Versaille 9” rear end I realized that re-installing the foot/parking brake was not going to be a stock situation. The problem revolves around the fact that I replaced a set of drum brakes with disc brakes. Has anybody on the forum done the drum to disc or...
