My little '66 was running strong through the 1/8 mile at Friday's Test and Tune but laid down on the top end on all 3 runs. The 2nd run it acted as though it was out of gas at about the 1000 ft mark so I let out and the power immediately came back so I got back on the throttle only for it to die...

On my last trip to the dragstrip I was told I needed longer wheel studs because I run Weld Draglites. They are very thick wheels and the wheel studs must protrude through the wheel stud opening to be legal. I figure these from Moroso would work fine on my '66 Mustang...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the Atl. Over the winter the dragstrip has been totally resurfaced and it was very sticky and very smooth. Yesterday being opening day, we were the very first ones to try it out. My car normally runs somewhere in the 11.8's with a best all time mph of 115...

I drove the Vinyl66 to Atlanta Dragway last night for some test and tune. It was a cool nice night for racing. Lots of other people thought the same. It was very crowded. In the spring I had an oil galley plug push out of the front of the block which made me spin a bearing on the bottom end...

Well, not a new best et but a new best reaction time. I only made 3 runs on Friday night at Atlanta Dragway because there was such a crowd on opening night. I spun on all 3 runs and had a best et of 12.19 with a very crappy 60 foot of 2.08. I did hit 113.5 mph a few times which is a new...

Atlanta Dragway was very busy on its last night of Test and Tune for the year last night. It was also very cold. Me and David (ga289stocker) braved the chilly temps and came away with new personal bests. My car is still not able to hook with me nailing the throttle from the start line so I...

It was a great night of racing at Atlanta Dragway last night as ga289stocker (David) has already posted. While he trampled his previous best by 2 1/2 tenths, I was only able to beat my previous best by 1/2 a tenth. But it was an important half a tenth that put my new best at 11.96!!! If I...

Me and ga289stocker went to Atl. Dragway last night for the Year One Auto Parts event. He is now using my old 215 drag radials and has his '65 Fastback with stock heads running in the 14.4's. He had 3 runs last night that were better than his previous best. All that and his 60 foots still...

I went to Atlanta Dragway last night for test and tune to try to improve on my 12.44 I ran last month. My 60 foot time on that run was a 1.95. So traction was the first order of business. Since then I installed some slide-a-link bars so last night was the first time I tried them. First (and...

Here was my car kinda cleaned up at the Mustangs Unlimited car show this past weekend in Lawrenceville GA. For those who use Competition Engineering Slide-a-link traction bars, how much gap do you run? Does it help to preload one side more than the other?

I ran my 66' Coupe at the strip last night testing the 347 engine for the first time and traction was nowhere to be found. Granted,I have 40 year old stock leaf springs with KYB's, 600 lb/in front coils, and tiny BFG 215/60 14 drag radials on stock steel wheels. While this suspension was fine...

I took my '66 coupe to Atlanta Dragway last night and bettered my previous best of 13.91 last year and my best 1/8 mile of 8.91 in March of this year. Combo: 1971 model 302 with dished!! (I know) pistons stock TW heads Comp cam XE268H RPM intake 650 Demon VS Edge 3200 converter 1 5/8"...

After much deliberating I decided on these babys. They are made by American Racing and are called Torque Thrust II. I think they may become popular because they REALLY look nice. :D Seriously, they transformed the looks of my car from plain stocker to HOT ROD. I like...

Friday I was cruising down the interstate and as I got onto the exit ramp I proceeded to push my brake pedal slowly to the floor and was still going! So I started pumping them and the brakes caught a little each time to slow me down some and then I downshifted (automatic) to slow even more...

I am adding an MSD6A box to my ignition system that consists of stock dizzy and pertronix ignition. Is the white wire on the MSD box used in this application?

Well after a month of [fun] trash talking at work, me and my lil 66 coupe and my buddy and his 86 Porsche went to the dragstrip Friday night. The Carrera is not a turbo but it does have a modified engine with upgraded cam and valvetrain, exhaust, short throw 5 speed, etc. My mods are...
