Another newb from the MOV..

[Greg W.]

Hello SCS! My name is Greg, I am a friend of Johnathan (naste95). Johnathan told me how much fun he was having so I thought I would join. I have a junk 65 mustang and I like doing a little grudge racing or heads up street stuff. The car car is your basic sbf, auto, stock suspension (nothing special) car. A few of us are watching the PRP website hoping to see if they have some heads up street action so hopefully I will make it over that way and possibly meet some of you peeps, anyway just wanted to say hey..

[wick]

Welcome..

[Naste95]

Welcome, watch out for this guy!

[PaxtonShelby]

Welcome to SCS! How about more pics of the '65? :yes:

[Greg W.]

Thanks guys, I will post up some pics as soon as I can, thanks again for the warm welcome.

[bluenotch]

[somethingclever]

[wick]

More importantly, what kind of boost is goin through it?

[bluenotch]

yea is it supercharged or turbod hmmmmm

[Naste95]

Is that a race car???

[Greg W.]

Damn intercooler. I knew I should've went with water to air..

[Greg W.]

Is that a race car???


Well Crap, you caught me. It's a top fuel eliminator. I am also NOT a street car!! Sorry, local web site joke..

[wick]

Damn intercooler. I knew I should've went with water to air..


I have been considering that too. 20+psi might need something better...

[Greg W.]

I have been considering that too. 20+psi might need something better...

Wow, what are you using to get 20+ psi?

[wick]

Precision...

[Greg W.]

Very nice.. I have a vortech YSI..

[Greg W.]

very cool.....more details would be even cooler


Well, not sure what you want but it's a sbf, supercharged (can't really hide that fact) blow thru, c-4 (with a brake), 9 inch rear on stock suspension, 325/50 drag radials. I built the car from the ground up and have never had her on the dyno so I have no idea what h/p it makes.

The car was down for 2 years while we did some upgrades and converted from nitrous to supercharged. This past year was simply a t/t year and to get me used to driving a new car.

[wick]

Very nice.. I have a vortech YSI..

Nice. Cog I presume? Thats a good blower. I just sold my Vortech S. Had to step up some. Lookin to wind the motor a little higher than 5800 now. HAHA

[wick]

Might have a few questions for you concerning the blow through set up. My buddy will be chiming in here tomorrow I am sure.

[somethingclever]

stock spring/damper arrangement upfront, or converted to coilovers or a strut setup? How about the rear susp....just a stock leaf setup or a custom leaf setup? You have to do anything to combat body roll?

Nice car....I like old school stuff

[Greg W.]

Might have a few questions for you concerning the blow through set up. My buddy will be chiming in here tomorrow I am sure. We are doing a D1 blow through on his car.

Sure thing, I will answer what I can.

Yeah, i had a 30mm cog and couldn't keep a belt on it so I am upgrading to 50mm stuff and gonna spin the blower a little harder next year.

Stock up front (that is the project for next winter).
I have the full Caltrac rear suspension with 4 shocks and the Caltrac monoleaf setup. I have a little bit of drop on the right rear but not much.

My best 60' last year was a 1.31 (with issues).

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Nothing beats the sound and grip of cogs.

[somethingclever]

I've heard good things about the monoleaf....looks like a nice stance. I wanted mine to sit a certain way and thought the monoleaf would be too tall. I went with a set of narrow leafs from EPS out of colorado. I take it you moved the leafs inboard and tubbed it for 325's on a 64-66 car.

[Greg W.]

I agree but if I can't keep a belt on the bitch next year I am gonna go gear drive next year.

Nah, I minitubbed it and just notched the frame. I like the mono but it rides real rough. I used the spring sliders in the rear and made them so I could adjust the ride height a little.

[wick]

Any chance you are getting bracket flex? You running renegade brackets? Are you running too much tension and making it walk?

[wick]

You have guides on all 3 pulleys right?

[Greg W.]

Any chance you are getting bracket flex? You running renegade brackets? Are you running too much tension and making it walk?

I have a blower brace and a Kurgan brace. The problem is that I am putting too much stress on that 30mm belt. I called the guy from ASP and even he agree'd. i have all my 30mm stuff for sale and stepping up.

When i would run a 75/31 combo i didn't have any issues but when I stepped up to 75/28 i couldn't keep a belt on at all.

[Sonic03snake]

Nice looking ride, Greg!!! :bouncy:

I guess I should post my wifes car, against my better judgement she wants to sell it. quick specs.. 91 GT 75,000 miles, a few boltons and a shot of spray. 5,500

Good Price on the Fox if shes as clean as she looks in the pic!

Thanks, yeah it's clean. I don't want her to sell it at all but she is quite stubborn. Andrea (my wife) runs the car at a couple of NMRA t/s races a year. The car has been in several mag's.

Here's a quick pic from Milan last year.

[AdamantiumSilvr]

Niice Stangs and welcome ta SCS!!

[PaxtonShelby]

Love that '65! Drums or discs up front? Who did your cage? What's the front suspension plan? On my '66 I have Global West tubular upper control arms and the car handles great. Not cheap, but less than many of the newer coil-over setups. Also running the GW Del-alum rear spring bushings with the GW rear leafs. Ride is firm but not harsh, and the handling is great.

How about some engine pics?

I am not sure what I am upgrading to as of yet. I am worried the the tubular stuff won't hold up to the wheelie abuse so I just put a mustang 2 suspension kit under it. I did upgrade to the 68 cougar eliminator front disc a few years ago. I am not sure if I have a pic of the engine now that it's finished. I'll have to find one.

[Greg W.]

Here is a pic of the engine bay. This isn't 100% finished but pretty close.

Welcome to the site Greg!

Thats one sweet ride you got there!

Jonathan was telling me about it and it sounded sick from his description but wow, one sweet ride you got there!

[03 OW SVT]

That does sound to be the case. Too much for the 30mm belt.

welcome :Beer:

[TooFast98Cobra]

welcome Greg, we talked before on YB and nmra, good to have ya here. -Bill

? for ya, how come the A to A? why not run race fuel or meth?

[CobraII]

Welcome, awesome car!



Well Crap, you caught me. It's a top fuel eliminator. I am also NOT a street car!! Sorry, local web site joke..

Funny, that topic comes up here too.

That's a good question. I am thinking (dangerous I know) that because every inch of my a/a cooler is exposed to the open air that my a/a will work better than one is covered by a big nose piece.

[Greg W.]

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, I appreciate it.

[gmkillr]

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, I appreciate it.

Cant wait till April & May roll around so we can all meet up & do some racing.

[biminiLX]

Welcome Greg, love the ride, hope to see it at the track this year, hopefully an NMRA race.

Thanks man, well we normally hit a few NMRA races a year.

[biminiLX]

Yeah, I've seen you and your wifes car before I believe.
I'm hoping to run True Street at Milan and Columbus this year with my brothers and hopefully a few guys on here.
-J

[Greg W.]

A few of us are planning on hitting the NMCA race this year up at Milan. you should hook up with us and go.

[biminiLX]

That is the plan, we'll talk before then.

Sounds good bro. I love Milan but that NMRA event is only a two day event and it kinda screws with t/s. I want to try the NMCA event this year.

[Martin0660]

Welcome and nice ride. Hopefully we can meet at one of the NMRA races this year.

You guys know they moved the Milan race this year. They said it was to get some room around the NASCAR races. Between that and Norwalk killing their Ford race I look for Milan to be packed.

Yeah, I saw where they moved the date but it is still a two day race. We have a ball when we hit those races. I take a grill and we kook all day it seems. we have a great time. Here is a pic of what the grill looks like..

[biminiLX]

We have the schedules posted somewhere here, but they put the Joliet NMRA/NMCA Superbowl in June where Milan used to be.
I went to the first year when I was in Chicago, it was cool except the weather, which should be helped by the move.
Definitely going to NMRA Columbus and Milan, and NMCA/NMRA Joliet, NMCA Milan, and NMRA BG are all on my hopeful list.
My brother qualified for the quick 8 at the NMCA Milan True Street fastest street car shoot-out in '09 and finished 4th I think.

speaking of nmra, did you see that new coyote class they are talking about? kinda gay

[biminiLX]

No I'll go check the NMRA site.
First a mod only class now a coyote mod class?
Not too interesting to me but I can see why Ford would want that.

I'm done with NMRA its all political now and the sponsor's aren't paying, I sound like my new BF Ryan lol

[biminiLX]

I just want to run the True Street stuff, no desire to build for a class for now.

I agree, I like true street. I'm going to let my wife run in true street some this year. Probaly just foot brake on the motor. She should get some attention racing.

You wish you didnt have to push it.lol

I agree, if you are not part of the in crowd at the NMRA the rules never seem to go in your favor, and I also have heard of several sponsors dragging their feet on payouts. I personally got tired of watching a mustang race a mustang. A few of us have hit some NMCA events and i raced a heads up class back in 2007 and really enjoyed it. It didn't take long to realize I don't have the coin to race a heads up season in the NMCA.

A few of us are planning on going to the Milan NMCA race to run T/S, we should plan a big get together that weekend.

Not sure if I am or not this year, if the wife still has her car I would say we will have it there. I am thinking about running a series over in KY. I am thinking about running the 8.5 outlaw class so I am not sure how much street stuff I am gonna do. We have all summer to plan something out though.

[Greg W.]

On a t/t session this past summer I had the chance to play with a gopro camera for a while. Here is a vid from the bumper.
