Sweet.... I figured you would move to a LS1.

Are you ready for Nats? We are pulling for you!

[Daniel Allford]

#82a Update:

According to the Chad & Rick and their OBD reader the motor is fit to fight. I recomend them, they are racers and good guys at http://www.colonyoneauto.com/
Next step is a pull on the dyno at http://www.houstonperformance.com/ (more good guys)

#82 Orange Thing Update:
I welded up the chassis which had broken due to brake hop at Hallett, finally welded in a correct roll cage doubler plate (happy now Glenn?), replaced the shock rod mounts so we now have dampening and corrected the 3/4" toe in. Should be ready for Nationals.

This year at Nationals (unlike last year) we hope to: not hit the wall, not destroy a throw out bearing, not destroy a front spindle, not fog up to zero visablity, not have to pump the brakes. Report to follow.

Good luck at Nats! Bring the trophy back to its home.

What needed to be welded up on the chassis that broke due to wheel hop? I wish I could get rid of my torque arm that almost kept me from racing at Hallett and go to a 3 link.

[Rob Liebbe]

Don't let the battery go dead or cut power to the PCM. :rolleyes:

No matter wher you go there is a smart-ass in the crowd.

Good luck Dan!

Dyno says: 166 -170 HP w/o restrictor. So that is no longer a busted, worn out street motor, it is a RACECAR MOTOR.

Bryan: the crack was in the sheet metal near the 2 left bolts which hold the rear tranny mount to the chassis.

You mean 266-270, right?

Those cracks are common. I've welded up a few that were like that.

[Daniel Allford]

Yes 270

Probably shouldn't have tested that in the school zone behind the shop... :-)

So how far did you travel from the time your eyes left the road to take the pic till you looked back up at the road?

I'm pretty sure he was airborn at that point and couldn't see the road at all...

Almost ready for acid dipping

An old Trans Am reference? Nice!

Edit to add, I found the story (http://www.streetlegaltv.com/news/video-on-board-footage-of-sam-poseys-challenger-at-laguna-seca/):


In the Trans-Am Series, many teams “acid dipped” their cars, reducing the amount of metal on the vehicles for weight reduction. Although this was not a legal practice, the Challenger saw its own acid bath in 1970 and almost got away with it until the team offered John Taminus, the Chief Technical Inspector a beer. After the Challenger passed the rigorous inspection at Laguna Seca, Taminus was leaning on it relaxing with his beer when he dented the acid-compromised roof with his elbow.

This of course didn’t go over well and the team was told they could not race until the roof was replaced. Lesson learned, the Autodynamics team got permission from Dodge within an hour to torch the roof off a Challenger that was sitting in a near-by dealership’s showroom so that they would still be able to compete.

Note... Nobody lean on Michael's car... I think we might have found a way past the 4th gens... :)

Think again. That will only get you even.

There it is... proof there isn't parity between the evil 4th gen and the FOX based Mustangs....
