For my WS6 I would like to get it running and low 13's with bolt on's. I need to try and keep it reliable since I am getting out of the military in October. My 98 I need a new transmission, I priced a built one and it will be about $1800 by a local guy back home. I would like to get low 11's in that car. I am not sure the rear will hold that will be the next thing I replace and some suspension upgrades before I try to get anymore power out of it.

When my current tires are finished I'm going to change to some wider and stickier tires for not having to slow down so much in the corners on the track, that's all.

Get it running 1st! Once that's done slowly dial the tune in. Build another tune to work w/ the Meth and then call it a day and just drive the car on these beautiful back country roads. Hit the Ring a few times and take some high quality pics of it there for memories. Bitburg? Nah I'm not gonna push it there but maybe 3 times and hope to get low mid to low 11's on street tires.
1st things 1st I got to get it running!

My frame was taken to the shop for sandblasting today. I still need to get the shocks(qa1 or bilstein, and the front springs) The rear 12-bolt still needs to be rebuilt(stock 2,56 eaton posi) and all the steering. also all the bushings,..... lots of stuff to do.

where to start
get the ls1 v8 opel running and registered and perhaps if performance is not what expected, maybe add some boost.
shorten and install a ford 8.8 inch in my commodore, and trying to get the M5 turbo engine build and ready and running and install in the commodore (hopefully i get some stuff for it tomorrow-i'll post a pic  )
trying to sort the cooling problems out on the ford cosworth turbo powered opel and increase boost pressure to about 2.0bar boost
finishing the supercharger engine buildup for the auto X car and install it and adding a free prog. injection system and mapping it , and trying to win some races with it hopefully still this year
But i had some setbacks on this project as the crank is bent and basically beyond repair
and the block is allso not back from the bore and hone job..

if you're not breaking parts , you are not making enough power When in doubt, increase boost !

I am behind the power curve for my plans this year.
The only plan I have is to get an f-body!

Add the new carbon fiber magnason hood, add a magnason, add a 427, keep it all together and run 200MPH, is that too much to ask? Keep the car running all year with no problems is the biggest wish.

Finally get my 383 and throw it in. Get the tranny rebuilt to handle the power and install a Dana 60. Get the front wheels off the ground and get a 10 sec timeslip in Memphis.
And to get a kill on a Viper

Humble a Jeep SRT8. Should come close with the summer wheels. Zaino treat the paint. 1.6 rollers are on the way. Get this F'n SRT-4 out of my driveway! Get out from under the USAFE umbrella...one drawback is that I'm going to work for AETC

Get the following installed:
90mm ported FAST intake manifold
90mm TB
built CV Shafts and Stub Axles
And finally get a good tune done in June during the mighty mustang event.
Should result in a good 12.2-12.5 or a little quicker with nothing breaking....all while I am deployed.
Wife is going to try and get someone to install it and then she is going to take it to an event.

Roy that air that is floating in your other hobby car is already pretty fast, can of new summer air will only make the SS silver car jealous.

I am dirt poor now after the Ford dealership took everything I had . That Cosworth tax is pretty dam high. I think I will just say Pinto engine from now on.

Haha, Pinto, I thought they had some sort of recall for explosive fuel tanks or something., kind of like explosive A@#%&&.
I ordered the new cooler pumps from Doug Rippie along with new wiring and fuse blockes for each cooler. They should be here next week. Throw a little turbo my way, I could use some extra boost.
