Glad to see its nothin to serious. It always a relief when its just a lil wrench time to fix it and not and empty wallet.

Nooo! Not the Gold! Lol

MustangMatt96GT · July 17th, 2009, 09:59 AM

Well I put it together last night. Compression test came out even and everything was good.

I have to unhook the transbrake for my highschool class, but hell it will atleast finally make it to the Friday night races.

futureMACH1racer · July 17th, 2009, 10:21 AM

I hope it was just a fluke man, The car sounds btw.

MustangMatt96GT · July 17th, 2009, 01:03 PM

I think it may have over revved in the burnout to bring the rocker loose... im going to start looking into a stud girdle for the rockers... that should allow me to spin it up higher.

But today Im going to leave off of a foot brake and shift at 6000 and maybe see some low 12s again.

The car fired up after I played with the timing. I have it set at 30º total right now. Should work just fine.

93hatch · July 17th, 2009, 01:05 PM

spray it!

Onemanzu · July 17th, 2009, 01:52 PM

spray it for sure. and keep it safe. no need to push it to hard already.

I say spray and pray... or get to some lower altitudes.

MustangMatt96GT · July 17th, 2009, 01:57 PM

Hell no I aint spraying it yet.... I think im going to try and squeeze out an 11 second pass out of it before I go and spray it... No need to brake things yet... I got to put it on they dyno to get some tuning done on it too... get the A/F ratio close and see what it does then.

Dennis · July 17th, 2009, 02:04 PM

yea good idea. in no way should you spray it until you know all the bugs are worked out. last thing we wanna see on here is "well i sprayed it and blew the motor to pieces"

MustangMatt96GT · July 17th, 2009, 02:45 PM

I am not stupid with the car.... hell the tranny has to come out again.... its not pumping fluid out of it to the cooler... so i have talked to Chris, my sponsor he said its safe to run it, if I use my nitrous to cool the tranny down inbetween rounds. I also am not on a trans brake, so I wont be getting that tranny that hot tonight.

But if that blows at least its not a full hit at cost just what parts cost, where as the motor, everything in there is mine...

My heart sank when I heard the motor wednesday, it honestly sounded like PTV, but it was actually the pushrod nailing the valve cover...

Like i said, I am taking every precation on the car though... I knew there would be problems, and thats part of the game...

This thread has so many pictures that give me erections, it should be in the brass poll.

ya matts good about showing pics of the shit hes done to his car

MustangMatt96GT · July 18th, 2009, 03:00 AM

Well it's still in one piece....three passsrs tonight. Went 12.41@109 with me on the brakes for 70 foot. Again on a foot brake. I'll have the videos tommorow. I left the camera in the trailer last which I left at the track since I'll be there tommorow.

I'm going to pull the valve covers tommorow morning and see if everything is good.
Overall a good night.

NO_PI_NO_POWER · July 18th, 2009, 03:26 AM

Good to hear!

HBK_2007 · July 18th, 2009, 04:14 AM

it doesnt matter how fast u go, a day at the track where u dont break anything is a win in my book

MustangMatt96GT · July 18th, 2009, 09:27 AM

Fast is a relative term anyway...

MustangMatt96GT · July 18th, 2009, 10:22 PM

No breakage today either!! Did have the valve covers off three times thouhg...

here is a video from last night

YouTube - 96 Mustang GT Drag Car

and today the car went 12.33@108 first pass, then 13.44 running on 7 cylinders, and then a 12.38@108 in eliminations, and then i redlit, but whould have broken out anyway in the second round of eliminations with a 12.31@109.

Im pleased, the car is consistant, and it didnt have to be pushed into the trailer! Thats two nights in a row! lol
