Do you actually believe that anyone here honestly thinks that your 1985 purple Mustang “street car” is capable of running nines on the engine on pump gas, no power adders, and that you’re driving it back and forth to work delivering groceries with it as well as to the track? It might have a ring of truth to it if you told everyone that you really were runnig aStroker small block cheby engine in the car, but a 351W Ford engine?

That’s almost as good as “8 sec street gt” delivering parts as fast. But, who am I to judge.

You do realize you can stroke a 351 to 427 and above...I believe he could have a 9 second street car easily.

And why are you on an all ford site...seems like you are into Chevy's.

Why is your first post bringing up a thread that is over 20 months old??

Sorry, I should have said Big Block Stroker Cheby engine...

[Thriller8]

I've known these guys for years and wanted to see if they could figure out who I am by what I said in my post. fyi, I'm far from a cheby nut, I've never own one, only Fords.

Private message to me from FL Mike.

Thanks.

[FL Mike]

I always knew you would get into the 70’s but dang dipping into the 60 is fantastic and your short times are better then mine now, I just wish I had your ET's,lol. I still would like to see what it would do with race fuel and the timing bumped up a bit...

When you say you’re building your engine for James, do you mean one just like yours or your engine?

[superprojoe]

Bad ride!;)

[FL Mike]

Brian, what does you car weigh with you in it?

[paxtonpwr]

Is all that rubber fuel line hose with single hose clamps legal at your track? I thought it was limited to a foot or less in the whole system ? BAdass performance for a "street car" though all mtr. and pump. :eek:

Orlando Speed World is somewhat relaxed on rules, well, I haven’t raced there in a while but that’s normally the case. Same with Bradenton, I showed up there once with seat belts that were about 4 years too old and they let me race.

Don't even ask about Lakeland Speedway. It's a 1/8 mile track and I've seen guys drinking beer before and after they've raced. Not sure but I think some of the cars even had cup holders.

[grocerygetter]

i think its 3050 with me in it i need to weigh it again to see maybe more,and im building James a motor just like mine im happy with my motor not going to change a thing,unless it was a big block with alot of cubes and id try and get it into the 8s on motor on pumpgas,but i priced it out to much money

[grocerygetter]

Bad ride!;)

thx

thx i ran true street on motor they didnt say anything,but theres no fuel in it,my old motor had nos on it but this motor i took the nos off and the wires and the plate and lent it to my nephew and i left the fuel side there,once im done tunning on the motor and feel its as fast as it can go ill hook the nos back up and spray it into the 8s.
i dont own a trailer so i have to keep it streetable

[grocerygetter]

thx guys,i put this combo together myself and picked my cam specs out,ive spent alot of time tunning on it,to get it were its at,i have a few things im going to try once i get my heads back and if it doesnt go any faster i guess the nos will go on the car from there.

[WLDABST]

edit for spelling correction

who said anything about 8 sec street gt delivering parts? As far as the Lakeland track goes, I've run 6.09 on foot brake w/ a 1.34 60 foot. best MPH of 120.68..... HOWEVER, the right lane is 2 MPH off and the left lane is a little over 1 MPH off. It is well known that the timers are incorrect at this track even to this day. I ran this time at lakeland in the LEFT lane. I have never ran better than 117.84 in the eighth at speedworld but the car has run into the 5.80's at OSW and so go figure.
and yes mike, I know who you are in these threads

[Topfun99]

Here is another confirmation - I have seen that Mustang at Orlando Speed World go high 9s. Watch out though Brian, when I get back to Orlando I will be coming after you with my grocery getting 91 Mustang with 3.25 gears and a 3000 stall converter. You know who this is. Ha, ha.

(We) built my engine identical and down to the thou. to Brians and we're both waiting on our heads to be completed. Brian's combo is the ONLY reason I sold my blower engine. He was gracious enough to duplicate his well earned combo to me and now I can run mid-nines w/ 93 octane and not have to spend $14. / gallon for 116 torco or cam2 or replace broken blower belts at $52. ea., I figured that I can spray 200hp No2 safely to get back into the 8's w/ 110 mix.......My car does turn 1.29 60ft's on the brake and this combo is proven and absolutely a no-brainer to anyone who likes to drive their car daily on the street.

[grocerygetter]

up date on my motor i had alot of the parts ceramic coated

[Topfun99]

Looks good Brian. When will you have it back at the track for testing?

[grocerygetter]

im trying to go this wed.

[Topfun99]

im trying to go this wed.

Well good luck with it. I won't be back in town for another month. You may have heard that last time I was in town I snuck out to OSW and ran a 9.83. When I get back next month I expect to have time to tune it so it will run faster. Heading for the 8's..... I suppose you might get there first.

[grocerygetter]

heard you went 9s from TRZ bet you were happy,and congrads on the pass i wish i had seen it.

[Topfun99]

heard you went 9s from TRZ bet you were happy,and congrads on the pass i wish i had seen it.

Yes, it hooked well (1.48 short) and went a couple of 9.8's without pushing it hard. I've been out of town since July and haven't had a chance to turn up the boost so most of the improvements have been tuning with what I have using the 2 bar map. Looks like I will be back in town Nov 8th and can start doing some things with it. Heck, I don't know what I will do with air temperatures below 90 degs. Cool air will be nice for a change.

[Topfun99]

Brian - Did you get out to the track Wednesday?

[grocerygetter]

yes it went 9.77 at 139.59 first night out with it no tuning and fresh motor.

[Topfun99]

Good job. I can't wait to get back and go racing regularly. Our cars should be fun to run side by side. Two different approaches to the same challenge with similar fast results.

heres a pic with my new valve covers on with my last name on them.

just went into the 9.50s last night on motor on 93 octane

[SwillRacer]

must be nice to be able to race year round. (sighs)

[Topfun99]

must be nice to be able to race year round. (sighs)

Racing all year round has it's pitfalls. It costs more since you don't have months of down time. You never know when the best time is to do major upgrades or maintenance because there is no forced down time during winter.

The worst part is trying to work on your car when the temperature gets cold. We typically don't have heated garages so the temperature inside is usually close to the outside temp. Yesterday it was terrible. We had a low of mid 40's and a high of mid 60's. I had to wear an extra t-shirt, long pants and put a jacket on for most of the day. I couldn't even wear my sandles - I had to put on socks and tennis shoes. Sometimes I get so tired of trying to work in this cold Orlando weather that I really consider moving back to warm weather Miami where I was born. (Heh, Heh)

[grocerygetter]

topfun99 by the way you know how i went faster i installed a evac pump

[Topfun99]

topfun99 by the way you know how i went faster i installed a evac pump

Nope, didn't know you where installing one. Boy, that sucks.....

[grocerygetter]

i couldnt get my nos kit to work the other week when you were out there,i hope its fixed now,i think it was ignition,im going to go feb 8th and try and spray it again hopefully ill go 8s on a small kit

i might go wed on motor and try the transbrake

[Topfun99]

I expect to be there Wed night. See ya then. By the way, my low ET is 9.39 so I guess you are still trying to catch me - LOL.

[grocerygetter]

no i ran that with no mile an hour on the nos,but it wasnt working right,it popped all the way down,before the evac pump i ran 9.60s and to spray it to run 9.30s im not happy,but it wasnt working right,now i run 9.50s on motor with the evac pump,i bought all new ignition so it should be fixed i hope,wont know till feb 8th.

i dont know if the track will hold on a test and tune so ill run motor wed and spray it on the 8th
im going to try the tranbrake wed on motor see if the track will hold

[Topfun99]

Oops, I guess I will have to start trying harder... LOL.

[grocerygetter]

just turn that boost up,lol

[Topfun99]

just turn that boost up,lol

Still tuning at this boost level, I must be patient. Can't afford to hurt the engine.
