Just got a steal of a deal on a brand spanking new Circle D 258mm 2c converter for 10% off and free shipping direct from Circle D. That should wake the car up very nicely. 3200-3400 flash stall. That along with a pair of adjustable rear shocks to replace the Lakewood 50/50's next spring should wake the car up off the line much better.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... what is the old fat elf and his helpers bringing you for your ride this year????

So far I scored a flying magnet crank trigger kit. But I am hoping to get switched over to 31 spline and 5 lug and this 3.55 gear I got.

But most of all to not take the car down so far that I cant run till fall again.

That circle D should really help Chad is Finish line doing your install?

Definitely. Brian and Brandon and the gang are my go to. They are good at what they do and great at letting me be involved in upgrades as well, so I don't feel like a complete 4F. LOL! For their pricing there isn't much reason to bother doing it myself as reasonable and professional as they are. I'd spend way more in the building of a garage and specialty tools in order to do most things myself than what I will spend hiring them to do the work over a lifetime of cars at this point in my life.

Looking forward to seeing that turbo foxbody get BIZZY next season Adam.

My car is getting some attention on the carb and fuel system supply for sure , it needs to be spot on for the power adder this coming spring. As Shannon would say, it's just a small 50HP shot. Lol

It shouldn't need any more fuel for a simple little 50 shot......................;)

I’m hoping that my car will be driveable by Christmas. Weight on the aerospace brakes for the front along with the rotor hats and brackets for the rears that they didn’t get right when I ordered them.

Brian you may already know this but McLeod has a pretty great service dept with good deals on clutch rebuilds. You could upgrade that clutch to rxt1200 specs for about half what a new one runs.

Since I decided to disappear from cars to buy a house and land, I'm hoping the elves in the spring bring me a fast car, definitely miss the track! If everything goes as it should, ill be out next year!

trying to decide if the present my wife is to get me should be a henry 22 magnum, 67" race ramps for getting the car up in the air, or an Onkyo Home theater receiver......she doesn't know about the converter......................................... ..........until it arrives. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission. LOL!

Bought a VMP TVS blower for my 04 Cobra I acquired a couple years ago. They had a 25% off deal that was only good on Black Friday for the first person that ordered a blower after 12 noon with a special discount code.....I got real lucky !!!

Who knows where to get the best deals on a new set of slicks, I'm wanting to look at Hoosier's 28 x 10.5 x 15 stiff sidewalls?

I get mine from summit. They seem to be the same or better price than i have found other places. Plus free shipping and they get to me in one day.

Brian over at Finishline Performance has a very good connection. I bought my last MT rubber from McCormick Racing up in Michigan. A small mom/pop place I found on MT's website. 1800-999-DRAG is their number, however BRian stated he could save you a few bucks off that price as well though you would have to pay sales tax otherwise.

I missed out, I went for it also and the discount disappeared when I pressed purchase. I'll wait for the next one.

Hopefully you get a good one! Mine stuck so bad, I put the stock one back on. The one on the orange Cobra works fine though.

They say the GT500 is the way to go. I know Ricky has that on his and it made right at 600 to the tire on 93. Hard to beat that!

He made that on a mustang dyno. I'm scared going to single blade again with all the high idle and sticking issues I had with the Dragon.

Yeah the sticking is what made me frustrated. Very aggravating.

He made that on Adam's dyno. I think its a Mustang dyno.
