Will I just got home from FFW. It was a blast. I didn't make it past the 1 st round Sat or Sun.:( Damn Fast Ford class and all the electronics. Oh well I still had fun. This was my first time ever down the 1/4 miles track.


Oh and found out what my car weighs , 3045 with me


I was running 11.54 -11.60's, and 1.6's- 1.7's 60ft. @ 114mph. I was trappinng around 5600-5700 rpm's so thats not to bad.

I want to see your car and test drive the AOD built by your uncle.

Jimbo - Yea I saw it, even had to take a pic of it;)



Tan- You should have found me. My uncle was even out there on Sat.


I don't think 1.6's are bad with an AOD with 3.73 and nly a 3500 stall. The tranny work real nice no problems. So did the motor. Heck we only opened the hood once;)

Thanks guys

Darkpony - That ain't no shit. On Sat in round 1, forgot who I raced but he cut a perfect .000 light on me :eek: , and I was like .157. I came closer to my time then he did, but he got me on the light.

BLACK96STROKER - your laying down some good #'s with your new car.



Also to everyone that knows my combo, does my mph seem alittle slow? I was expecting to hit in the 120's. Or was I just expecting to much out of my car?
