This is probably more along the lines of Ray's and Teej's interests but I'm going to post this for everybody anyways. If you are a hot rod enthusiast like myself and looking for something to do during the first weekend of November, I recommend checking this out!

Probably the 2nd fastest reply I have seen. Editted.

Sweet video

Haha - the ol' import vs. domestic debate. I have respect for any car that's tastefully modded and who's driver has a good attitude.

"Ricer" is a mentality, not so much determined by vehicle type - although the majority of people with a ricer mentality do seem to drive imports.

I've got a ported/pullied '03 Cobra with ~530 RWHP but since I'm a crappy driver at the strip 11.95 @ 124.46 is my best so far. The IRS in the Cobra isn't very good for dig runs, especially on drag radials (Nitto DR's on mine) or a street tire. It wheel hops a good bit unless you change out the bushings to something more solid, or run an ET street. So I seem to get it started out of the hole fairly well, but then can't come in with all of the power without it starting to spin/wheel hop.

People with similar setups somehow manage high 10's @ 126-128. However those seem to be run at very good tracks in excellent conditions and running ET streets or a slick.

Event is this weekend. I'm trying to get a few friends to go and watch...maybe even race, I don't know.

Not bad! The 99-04 Cobra and Saleen body styles are the only Mustangs I like...that and Eleanor.

<-- 2000 Firebird Formula with WS9 ram air hood, LS6 intake, ported TB, K&N cold air filter, Borla catback exhaust with dual-duals, and some more stuff I don't feel like naming at 2 in the morning.

This afternoon I'm helping a buddy of mine fire up his new engine for the first time. We stabbed it in last weekend, it should be a monster:

The engine is a 363 stroker with a scat Forged crank, rods and Probe forged Pistons. The block is a Ford Racing Boss 302 block.

Bullet racing cam - custom grind, Edelbrock Victor intake with a 1,050CFM Holley Carb.

Should make somewhere around 600 crank HP, 500 ish at the wheels on pump gas with no nitrous. When sprayed it should be around 900 at the crank.













With the "old" engine, it was so scary fast, it'll be fun to see what it does now!

Pretty engine, and clean! I bet that thing will fly at the track

I'd say mid to high 8's with nitrous.

Haha - man that's a pretty badass setup! A 300 shot of the 'ol giggle juice will certainly wake it up,
