I finally decided to try and make my own OTR intake. I didnāt have to use the Ecoboost radiator to gain clearance because of the Kaenen āBubbleā hood I run(No hinges or latch, it uses Dzus fasteners). I ended up buying tubing bends that I didnāt use trying to figure out the correct bends I...
Finally getting a 8.50 cage and Fire Suppression system put in the car. Definitely got our work cut out in removing weight to offset whatās being added.
This is the 1st racing seat Iāve ever owned. Itās the RT4200HR. Shipping was extremely fastā¦2days, and packaging was top notch. Fit and finish is extremely nice. They offer each seat in 3 different sizes. Itās very comfortable and fits like a glove. They also offer various mounting brackets and...
After running 10.75 a few weeks ago, my son drove the car to a 10.52 at 132mph and a 10.53 at 131mph. We had much better DA today. The CircleD, Shoemaker speed density conversion and new tune seem to be working amazing. Still soft on the launch(3500ish), once we get to 4400rpm the car should run...
Finally got to make 2 test passes today. DA was around 1750. Car was about 3300lbs today, 3480 with me driving. I went from 3.55 to 3.31 to keep it out of 7th gear, but Iām gonna try 3.73ās and see what happensā¦.i think it can go low 10ā6s. This was also the 1st passes with the converter. Itās...
Had our 1st test/tune of the season. Weāve run ET Street Rās 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 Hoosiersā¦Iām not sold on the tire yet so I ordered another set of Mickeyās 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. Itās tuned on Forged Fules E85 and dynoād 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, itās 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(barelyš). Today was our last race for the year. Weāve got more goodies planned for this winter to hopefully put us in the 10.8ās consistently for next season.
Previous best was 11.006 with a 1.72 60ā
Today was 10.991 with a 1.68 60ā
I decided to change wheel and tire set-up to reduce rotating weight. I was previously on Weld Belmont drag 17x10ās(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 weāll 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 doesnāt require hood pins. That being said I decided to add hood pins as another layer of safety. Iām impressed with the quality of this kit(FRZ-6316892-CL). Itās 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...
