Fairly dissapointing night. Made 4 passes by 8 pm when I had to start for home. First run I missed 2nd(first run jitters) Then after that i just couldn't get my 60 foot times down below 2.0. I was only launching at 2000 rpms cause I was still nervouse of the new rear end and had 20 psi in the tires because the compressor was broke and its a long ride home with no air.

13.5x at 103.xx was my best for the night. not bad for "stock" heads and intake. I think 13.2's a possibilty.:shrug:

i actually was hesitant to do that lol

first off, in my defense, i am definately not used to the new set up yet:bang:

i mean i drove the car with stock 2.73's (until a week ago) for 2.5 years. also, i havnet been shifting the car high enough, as im not used to a motor that can actually spin past 5500:lol:

it was on $60 kuhmos that were are PAST the wear indicators


my 60ft was 2.3 and my mph was 105, so you guess the et:D

14.1? I hear ya about the new set up, I only changed gears this year and I can't figure out how to launch mine yet. How many runs did you get in?

i got 4 runs in. lots of people broke and they had some problems with the time board. they closed at like 8pm because of lightning:mad:

my first 2 runs dont even count....i got 2.1 60ft's but missed 3rd on both of them

after the 3rd run, i realized i was not shifting the car high enough. went 13.7 @ 103 with a 2.1 sixty foot

so on the 4th run i decided to shift higher(still not shifting where i should be) and try to come out of the hole a little harder which did not work too well.

best i could get was a 13.6 @ 105. basically i need some sticky tires and i need to learn how to drive this car again

yeah the worse part about it is the exhaust rotted off and its just a straight manifold now so so was wicked loud.later:D

We heard you pull in!! Didn't realize it was you. I was there with a couple of guys from work. one with a black GTI the other with a silver R32. both VW nuts, of course they saw every VW that showed up.:shrug:
You should have stoped over.

13.6 with a 2.3 60 ft? damn. get some slicks and go!:hail2: what were you launching at? Did you change gears as well this year? no spray I'm assuming.

lol thats funny. as far as my mustang goes well i just dropped a 1/4" socket down the dist hole after priming it :notnice::notnice: Looks like tommorow nights project is lifting the motor back out a tad and taking off the oil pan. I fished around for at least an hour with a magnetic wand or whatevr you call it. oh well hopeully no more than a few weeks from now.

Man that sucks. I did that with a head bolt washer over the winter on a mazda truck. dropped through a oil return. luckly it was my brothers truck. If you ever need a hand, let me know. I'm good at dropping stuff:D

Did the same thing, dropped a bolt down the distributor hole back in February. Luckily it wound up in the front sump by the drain plug too.
