Default nice night

before the story, I just put in an auburn posi unit and a 3.73 gear.
I usually cruise an area around my house, mainly cruising, sometimes looking to race, or vice versa. Anyhow, tonight, I took a friend with me onto Telegraph. Within a 1/4 mile, there's a fox body, we mess around just a little and come up to a light. RIGHT BEFORE the light changes, I look in my mirror and saw a trans am, I think to myself (great, I hope he don't want to race and stomp me). We took off, I was winning, but what I noticed was the trans am went around 3 lanes to come around and race me... We come up to a light, both rolling around 30-35mph, knowing I'mma get stomped, I said screw it ,and nailed it. He had me by 1.5-2 car lengths after (60-70-80?? not quite sure), I was impressed that my car could hang how it did rather than getting TOTALLY BLEW OUT.

So I turn around to get home, and low and behold there's a new mustang gt vert. We race from the light, and we were basically even. Which is cool, I would have won if my friend wasn't in the car.


anyhow, I need a supercharger

I can vouch for the bitching about the tranny. He's been whining about it for some time now.

As for the trans am race, 30-60 and 2 car lengths is pretty merciless. lol

Glad you had fun, you're coming to the Meat and Grease right? err. meet and greet?

what's up man... Ya, i'll be there for sure. If you want to meet up at some point so your not cruisin by yourself, or whatever, let me know.

Ya, the trans shifts so hard, I can't even adjust the shift firmness on my chip, it's too hard as it is. If anyone doesn't believe me, I'll take you for a ride, when your **** hit your face when it shifts (if your fat), that's my told you so!!!



I'm enjoying the new gear now!

For a second there I thought your numbers looked kind of low then I just now noticed you were putting it through a slushbox. How big of a difference did you notice after the PI/headswap.

I've noticed a big difference from the mods i have now from when I was stock. I never did a base dyno, nor did I do a dyno when I only did the pi swap. I started off with a 15.3, and with my mods in my sig (minus the auburn posi unit and 3.73) took off a whole second. That 14.3 run was with my crap tranny, AND my camber was off so I didn't really have much traction. My second race of that day was a 17 sec run since I spun through first and part of second. I WOULD have let off to get a better time, but after I spun for a second, I knew my time was screwed.

I'm hoping for a 13.9-14.0 (more so the 13.9) next time at the track. Hopefully I get a better tranny soon.
