The Beast Part 3

MustangMatt96GT · November 5th, 2008, 10:33 PM

Yep its that time again! Time for a build up thread... Please no drama like last time.

This season has been memorable. Went from running 15.4 as a Best ET last year. This season missed the first month of it because of difficulties... and then when i finally got the car back and running, it ran fro 6 days and 14 passes... Got a new motor in the car (Beast part 2) and now have run a best of 14.6 on Motor, and 12.91 on a 100 shot pulling the front tires up!! But you know what... that is not fast enough! Plans for next season are 11.50s or better, meaning an 8 point cage is going in ethier this winter depends on the funds or after i graduate!

So here is how the season went....

THis is Old Rusty the crown vic motor!

The final track pass that was in the 12s!

Video of that pass

YouTube - 1996 Mustang GT at Bandimere

to this pass

YouTube - 1996 Mustang Broken On the track...

That was my final pass of the season...

Anyway i picked up this beauty today for 75 dollars! should have another key piece to go in soon hopefully this weekend. But this is a C4. Needs a build but my new setup with 600 FT Pounds would have destroyed a running stock C4 anyway! So now i get to learn how to build a tranny too!

Will update as i go! Plans are for full built suspension, spool(stock 28 spline for now, will rebuild when it breaks, as i have 150 passes on these 28s with good torque no problems), nice C4 with a brake and nice stall, with a manual valve body, and a different motor

Tony_90fox · November 6th, 2008, 06:11 AM

Cool matt...You have done alot with your car. good to see you're doing something...

When you get that windsor in there, come to somewhat regular elevation and get some.

MustangMatt96GT · November 6th, 2008, 01:56 PM

yeah 11.50s here should be a good mid 10 at lower altitude... The car will haul balls...

Tony_90fox · November 6th, 2008, 02:04 PM

Take the balls out and go faster dummy.

Cool Matt, good luck getting there. 11's are fun, but 10's are more fun.

hell even 19s in the Sexpedition are fun... a bad day at the race track, beats a day at work...

Tony_90fox · November 6th, 2008, 03:35 PM

Plan it out now and come to NMRA Bowling Green Next October...Lots of fun Matt

MustangMatt96GT · November 6th, 2008, 03:38 PM

St. Louis might be on the list....

Tony_90fox · November 6th, 2008, 03:54 PM

I might make a few races if my car is done. I'd like to try Bradenton, FL and Milan

Bradenton was awesome last year, I will be competing this year.

futureMACH1racer · November 6th, 2008, 04:04 PM

Milan, is a great track.

itschristorres8 · November 6th, 2008, 04:32 PM

cool stuff man
good luck with the auto tranny
i hate rebuilding autos, i did it once for class and idk just not my thing
but the c4 is a good drag tranny

MustangMatt96GT · November 7th, 2008, 01:08 AM

Picking up a 157 tooth bellhousing for 30 bucks tommorow!

Looks like i may be building the C4 before I build the motor.

But I have arranged a time to transport the Engine. Tuesday afternoon My Co worker (the guy giving me the Engine) and I will bring it home and put it on my Engine Stand!

itschristorres8 · November 7th, 2008, 01:13 AM

what motor and setup
keeping the giggle gas?

MustangMatt96GT · November 7th, 2008, 01:19 AM

Yes will be keeping the giggle gas...

And until I tear this one apart I dont knw the combo... It was built 20 years ago and has less than 1000 miles on it... 10.5 pistons and aftermarket heads. Just want to see what i have before i go and say what im going to be doing with it. If it has forged pistons basically all i will be doing is cam, intake, carb, headers, and balancing the engine. If it needs forged pistons then i may go 408 at that point. And heads will probably stay IRON for now, as I dont have enough money for a nice set of Alminum ones.

I will know more later. But i plan on a 200 shot
