Had our 1st test/tune of the season. We’ve run ET Street R’s for 2 years, the last race of last season I switched to Hoosier DBR for the last 3 passes. So Saturday I made 3 more passes on the Hoosiers…I’m not sold on the tire yet so I ordered another set of Mickey’s to get a better comparison. I...
Goal for the 2024 race season was to get under 3300lbs and it weighed in at 3289lbs. New mods were Comp Cams, BMR K-Member, PMAS fenderwell CAI, Ford Performance driveline safety loop, A/C delete and Aerospace Components drag brakes. It’s tuned on Forged Fules E85 and dyno’d at 493 RWHP. Will be...
This will be the 3rd season of racing and we made a lot of changes to make the car a consistent 10sec bracket racer. (This is a dedicated 1/4 mile bracket car, it’s not street driven).
We added Comp Cams, BMR K-member, sway bar delete, Pmas fenderwell intake, Aerospace Components front/rear drag...
Well, finally got our 10 sec pass(barely😂). Today was our last race for the year. We’ve got more goodies planned for this winter to hopefully put us in the 10.8’s consistently for next season.
Previous best was 11.006 with a 1.72 60’
Today was 10.991 with a 1.68 60’
I decided to change wheel and tire set-up to reduce rotating weight. I was previously on Weld Belmont drag 17x10’s(MT ET StreetR,305/45R17) and 17x5(MT ET Street Front,27x6.00R17).
I switched to Billet Specialties 17x10(Hoosier 28x10.5R17) and Billet Specialties 18x5(MT ET Street Front...

We came so close today to that 10 sec pass. Car ran its best ET and MPH to date. All 3 passes were 127mph. Still launching at idle(trying to keep it simple for my 19yr old son who drives the car). I think at some point this summer we’ll do a transbrake and 2-step so we can lunch off a button...
Not sure how many of you are running a aftermarket hood, but I have the Cervini Cobra R hood that actually doesn’t require hood pins. That being said I decided to add hood pins as another layer of safety. I’m impressed with the quality of this kit(FRZ-6316892-CL). It’s stainless so no parts to...
Well, unfortunately our day ended before it even got started. What did happen is 100% my fault, my son and myself learned some valuable lessons yesterday. When we were prepping the car the day before, I failed to torque the drivers side lug nuts. My son was warming up the car just prior to the...
Got the Baer front drag set-up to drop some more weight. OEM rotor is 28.8lbs, the Baer is 14.4lbs. Haven’t weighed the caliper yet but the total savings should be over 45lbs.
Car is currently getting another round of mods for the upcoming race season. Car will also be dyno tuned in the next week. I’m curious to compare new dyno tune to my previous tune. All work has/is being done by Kaiser Motorsports in Tacoma, WA. I’ll post the dyno when it’s done. Ran a best of...
Like new, less then 100 miles. Paid $750 for the pair. Asking $525.00
Ran these on my Weld 18x5’s. Located near Portland,OR….willing to meet within reason.
Needed a aftermarket hood to accommodate the Cobra Jet intake manifold going on the car next month. I really didn’t want to cut the stock hood or lower the engine with aftermarket mounts. This Cervini is made to clear the CJ, it looks like it gives about 2.5” or more of clearance. I ordered...
