I'm assuming that you can tape up a bunch of grill opening and still not have a cooling issue for a single blast? Go fast, have fun, take pics, and don't break anything. |
How do ya like the new tires with that power? I'm about to get a set and thought about the PSS but it seems the conti DW are a better bang for the buck.
awesome setup btw! Kcco! |

I will have a more in depth review of these tires after this event as far as straight line traction. Come 17 May, I will have an even better review for their on track handling as I signed up to run Texas World Speedway again before I leave Texas this summer. Who knows, maybe the last time I ever get to run the track if they close it down. |
Are you going to use only tape to block off? I would try to use as much cardboard as possible. It will be stronger against the wind pressures. Make sure you leave the brake ducts open though, because you will need them for slowing down. lol
Also, if it were me, I would at least leave a little portion of the grill uncovered so you have a feed of fresh air coming into the intake box. |
I have some precut cardboard for the upper and lower grills, but I only plan on using one at a time if I decide to tape off. Realistically I am doing this just to have hard evidence I went fast. Depending on the adrenaline rush, I may start working hard on aero with the tape if I decode this is something I want to do more in the future.

Well this weekend was fun. The fun got cut short Sunday & I wasn't able to take advantage of the tailwind, cool morning weather, and my 93 race tune in efforts to hit my 170+ MPH goal. This was my prepped vehicle for that mornings run before the rain screwed us all.
http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps98fadcc4.jpg Here were my final results from day one. No aero mods, just my daily tune and a heavy foot. These were all with easy launches, rolling off the line getting into the throttle after I was over 25 MPH. I made my qualification run at 153 cruising, then posted two runs before the day was done within 0.1 MPH of each other showing I was consistent through the mile. Here is my top run. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psecc7d4cf.jpg Oh well, that's racing. Here are some of the photos I was able to take while I was out there. There was a ton of cool cars, but time was limited for me and most of the fast guys didn't attempt runs that could break or get close to the record. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps34d89159.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps57b9b293.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps894e3aad.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps0f1ca9fd.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps372b1c00.jpg |

I may try an event like this again though, but depending on where I am at in the country will dictate where I do it. I want to try the Mojave Mile and Mile and a Half event they have out there in California. Quote:

Sucks about the weather, but glad the car ran well.

Your fuckin car is shweet! I love gold on red. Before the mustang I had a '99 red T/A with c5 bronze magnesium 17/18s and I absolutely loved them with red.

In other notes, Lethal Performance Inc. sported my photo on their Facebook page. That makes Steeda and Lethal Performance now! Getting exposure I guess is always good. If only they would give me a larger discount lol. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psd821f84e.jpg |
