So we headed out to the track again to take a few more runs down the track before we start our next phase of our project. Our goal was basically to get our best times with the car in full stock trim with the stock tires and then a set of drag radials. Our best time so far was a 13.20 which to us really wasn't that impressive. Not only did we head out to the track with our normal crew this time but took along a good friend and 3x champ Jeremy Martorella from UPR Products to see what times he could pull off. The weather at Moroso was in the mid to low 70's and very humid. Jeremy took the first shot at it and pulled off our best 1/4 time yet running a 12.68@109.90. His 60ft time on that run was a 2.014 and the 1/8th was an 8.287. Unfortunately after that run they closed the 1/4 for the rest of the evening because of the moisture on the back end of the track and only allowed 1/8th runs for the rest of the evening. Derek took a run at the first 1/8th pass still running the stock tires and pulled an 8.49. At this point we really started to get the hang of launching the car on the stock tires but it was time to move on as we were ready for some drag radial runs. We slapped the Hoosier 315/35/17's on a set of 03 Cobra Chrome Replicas and bolted em up. The rims had the 99-04 offsets so they stuck out about 1.5" from the fenderwell. They still cleared the rear brakes and that's what really mattered to us.

Derek Perez took the first crack at the drag radial run and pulled an impressive 8.01 on the 1/8th. The tires hooked real good. It's really amazing how much of a difference the tires made from the stock F1's. Next up was Jeremy and it got even better with a nice launch from around 5k rpms pulling off a 7.90@89.22mph with a 1.84 60ft. These were the times we were looking for and although we didn't have a chance to run faster than that because we were hot lapping the car for the following runs we left the track very proud of how the car ran. Jeremy definitely felt that with a few more good runs we could see 11's as he said the car could pull 1.70 60's.

On our 1/8 mile here on drag radials and my first time at the track I ran a 10.7 at 97mph but was spinning at 1/2 track. Never could just launch had to slip the clutch until about 300ft the it would hook. Last run was a 6.87 at 116mph but never got hooked up.

The cars a Stage 3 KB now with Kooks 3" exhaust. To much to list but the day we ran we were at around 760rwhp. On VP106 now
and stage 3 we hit 880RWHP. Can wait to hit the track this year. My 60ft times were over 2 just because I had to leave easy but I still hit the 6's

Ford is sending a guy down to replace my flywheel/clutch/trans and a couple other things. I have a 2007 built in June which they must have a problem because they offered it all do to a defect. I also have a Spec $1450 clutch which they offered to buy do to my problems.

SVT told me the car once it's changed will handle 1000RWHP with no problems. I have to wait till mid January due to the fact these are KR parts.

Some pics at Myspace. If you have an account log in and go to pics if not let them run. The background is at the track.
