Well i went back to the track with new holset and cannot 60" for crap and went 13.50 @103. It is way slow and i found a few issues. I was not getting full throttle, holley 350 was to small, fuel line too small, carb falling off base plate. I came home and tried my holley 500 and it picked up very well. I then tried a holley 650 double pumper and it runs awesome, most think it's way big. I cannot believe how well it runs with the huge carb. I now need and intercooler as my intake temps are killing it, and i need a two step and some slicks. It went 13.50 with 2.0 60" so it would have gone 13.10 if i could drive right LOL. Any suggestions on ignitions with 2 step?

MSD and Mallory both make good ignition boxes with 2 step. The Mallory is cheaper and arguably more reliable.

Well another test session complete. I made a few changes since last outing, 500 carb over 350 carb and powerstroke intercooler. The weather was slowing most cars down one tenth today. I went 13.01 @107.28 with crappy 1.95 sixty. The car is hard to launch as it wants to bog then spin the tires, so i must get a two step. It will go 12.60 with decent 60' and better air then i would like to crack high 11's with just a ported head. It has monroe sensa track shocks and stock springs so it is by no means a drag car. I would like to see how much front and rear drag shocks help as it is so hard and gets no transfer now, but don't want a sloppy street car.

That's a pretty good mph, certainly has a lot more in it with a proper launch.

when i went to the track with my 2.3 turbo mustang i would launch at around 5500 rpm, any lower and it would boggg and wheel hopp bad with the t5 man. trans i badly need a 2 step for it too so i can lower my launch and build some boost off the line. make sure you have a 6al box from msd if choose that brand bc i have a 6a i need to send back to them for a 30 dolllar upgrade to the 6al

Well back from another track outing and not good luck again. I figured out why my car won't hook and it's because the trac lok is beat so new clutches soon and back for another try. It ran 13.2 @ 110 mph with a 2.2 60'. I think it will go 12.40ish next time. I am finishing porting one of my heads and will have a 5 angle valve job done and also port the intake further. Hoping to pick up 40-50hp and crack into the 11's with all stock 2.3 except ported head and holset turbo.

Nothing is easy...you're gaining each time though so that's a positive!

Well another frustrating track day again. My trac lok clutches are new and set tight with new kyb rear shocks installed and i thought it would hook but it didn't. My freaking front strut stuck in the bottomed out position and the car was leaning real hard and getting no transfer. I have never seen such a thing before! The whole cars leans and handles funny, I have noticed a harsh ride lately also. I ended up running 12.91 @ 109.27mph with a 1.89 sixty. I at least broke 12's but was hoping much better. it was the last track event and i spent all week rebuilding the rear clutches, u joint, sleeved the crank as the rear main leaked all for just non sense. Has any one used the Strange 10 way struts? are the good for street use?
