What kind of rear end is in that thing?

The car finally runs as fast as it looks.  I went from a 15.90@90mph to 13.44@106mph.  Check out the yellow 1974 Plymouth Satellite in the picture below.  He was the first car I ran against and I shut him down. He ran a 13.9 and I ran a 13.6.  He came over after the race to see what I was running, thought I had a turbo or something and was surprised to see the V8.

I have some more tuning to do and will need some better tires for more traction. I am pretty sure it will run in the high 12's.  My friend has a video of me running against a camero, I'll have to see if I can get him to post it on YouTube or something.  I beat the camero, but only because I think he had engine problems at half track.  My friends Mustang is the the second picture below.  He is running a 13.40@100mph.


Best feeling ever beating a muscle car in my first race (the yellow Plymouth Satellite in the background).


My friends 1988 Mustang with a mild 302, transbrake, drag radials runs about the same time as my car. With a little tuning and better tires I think I will take him.  But by the time I get my car hooking and tuned he'll probably have NOS installed...

man, i love seeing that hood up with the V8 pokin out, it looks....right....

i wish we lived closer so i could race you.

my luck i'd blow another tranny and that don't sound like a fun thing to do 5 hours away from home

wow...just wow.

I made another trip to Union Grove Great Lakes Dragaway this last weekend and yes I finally have some videos to post for you!!!  I did some tuning and was able to improve my time and speed.  I still have a ways to go before it is running full strength, but I have proved that it does respond to small adjustments.  I also still have to deal with the traction problem off the line.

First video is of me running against my friends 1988 mustang.  It was his first run after installing NOS and hit a 100 shot about half track.  I got my best time for the day at 13.19
First pass against friends 1988 Mustang

Second run against my friends mustang, he ran the NOS starting off the line.  I get the avenger going over 109mph!
Second pass against friends 1988 Mustang

One of my favorite runs, only to be tarnished by smoke from oil that got on the exhaust when my PCV valve came out of the valve cover. Smoke or not, I shut down that 2003 Nissan 350Z!
