Finally got the Crow to the track on Friday.......

[TOMMY]

I want to thanks Lane & Mike(Beenfetchedlately) for the racing tips it really helped. This was my first time in a car with this much power & pull. It's a night & day difference for driving my LX. I was very nervous as Mike could tell I know he wanted to laugh :D but he was cool. I got there early I wanted to make as many passes as I could before I get booted off for not having a cage :o . I made 7 passes total.

My goal was to just get a feel of the car

1st pass (very nervous)
60' --- 1.64
330 --- 4.73
1/8 --- 7.31
mph --- 93.28

I didn't expect her to leave so hard. She slammed me back into the seat :)

Last 3 passes felt great


60' --- 1.55
330 --- 4.56
1/8 --- 7.09
mph --- 95.39


60' --- 1.58
333 --- 4.55
1/8 --- 7.06
mph --- 96.18

60' --- 1.57
330 --- 4.54
1/8 --- 7.05
mph --- 95.98

Came up to make my 8th pass Mike came over to tell me I'm leaking fuel on the track. On the last pass I split and o-ring in half and gas was just spraying out of the rail. Thanks to Mike and a friend of his I was able to get a tow home.

The Crow has some high 6's in it. With a better driver she would have ran that 6. But overall I was happy with my results.

Nice times, man.

[Car-less Chris]

nice times man!!

[Bad89stang]

Awesome times man. Could have been ugly with that fuel leak near the exhaust... Hope you get into the 6's soon. With a cage of course!

[lee earley]

nice times!!! so are you hooked now?

[superlopez]

Kick ass times.
I bet you were frustrated trying to get that six.Good luck

[JMAC]

Damn I love that car!! Congrats!

[Beenfetchedlately]

Kick ass times.

I doubt he's frustrated...Probably a little more ticked off about the rail issues. Oh well. Im not too keen on that converter in the car either. I think it will be much faster with a smaller diameter converter. Its not even hitting the tires all that hard. Just a steady pull. My buddy swapped his Yank TP series for a custom 8" and it hits the tires REAL hard. Just a though Tommy. Let me know if I can help you out anymore on fixing some of the small things.

congrats...sounds like the crow is moving! isn't the engine fairly stock?

It is a stock take-out LS1 with the obvious bolt-on's like headers. No internal changes yet.

Mike

[TOMMY]

congrats...sounds like the crow is moving! isn't the engine fairly stock?

brad

I think it has pullies, other than that its stock. It has exhaust of course & good suspension.

[White90GT]

Nice runs. Sucks that those damn LS1s make so much power out of the factory. Now you've proved to take the best of both worlds! Light weight chassis and good factory powerplant.

[TOMMY]

nice times!!! so are you hooked now?


You DAMN right I am. I couldn't sleep at all that night. :D

[TOMMY]

Kick ass times.

That's what I was shooting for with the final pass. Until Mike saw the fuel running down onto the track. Man Thanks again good eye! :cool:

[STANGGT40]

man, that's great! get you some ported heads, a nice cam, a better stall (if needed), a little spray, and a tune, and you will be flying!!!

No you have to give Lane his due on this one. His ideal, he just showed me the light :D . I can truely say I love both Ford & GM. I feel like I'm having a 3 way or something :D

I actually saw it after the pass was made right before hand. Then i checked again and noticed it was you. Sorry bout that! Get er done yet? You might have to tap the rails on the other side with the new brackets. It can be done. LMK

Well I was going to call Aeromotive first thing this morning.

Considering the converter(3800) and the tires(275-60 M/T's 28" tall) are on the car for nitrous, it's running pretty good for a bolt-on motor. :)

As far as mods go: I made the intake tube out of exhaust pieces, ported the TB on a bench for about 5 minutes, has a crank pulley, Mac LT's originally for a 351W Fox swap, custom duals with a Dr Gas X and Magnaflow 5x9's. NGK TR6's out of the box, Taylor wires, Aeromotive fuel rails for a Ford, turned around with brackets I made - that yes, we've had issues with... :o TH350 with a Yank PT3800, 8.8 rear with 3.55's.

The 28" tall tires are killing him on motor, but will be awesome on the 100 shot the ecm is already tuned for. :)

26" slicks or M/T DR's would have the car easily in the 6's IMO. Or heck, once we install the shift-light we've already got for it - just shifting more consistently may get it there.

Great job Tommy!

And quit ragging on all my work Mike.... :rolleyes:;)

[STROKD]

FUCK, congrats on the times Tommy, and good props to Mike for helping you out...

OK so, a cammed LS2 with a huge stall behind a 4L65E and a 150 shot in a coupe with no interior... Looks like the ticket to me. ;)

LOL....Dont give me anything to critique you on...I learn my things from others and my own mistakes. PS...The rails can be tapped to install the mounts on the proper side...I thought you would have remembered that from John. I called him and double checked with him because I have to go through it with mine.

Rumor has it you stepped up with another welder? Which one did you get? Mine was $511.xx shipped to my door and its got infinite adjustment on Voltage. Another tip from a fellow welder is to throw that extension cord we were using in the old shop off to the side and buy a 10gauge cord. I wouldnt run over 25 ft either. Just aheads up. Voltage was alot of that old welders problem. Thats why it kept throwing the breakers when we had the lights running too. I looked at the welders they sold their but it wasnt exactly what I wanted. It only had 4 settings for heat. :( And for a few more dollars I got exactly what I wanted.

Critique me? lol I know you Mike - you just like to rag on everyone's stuff! LOL Doesn't bother me - One thing's for sure - when you build something like the Crow(not saying I did it by myself by any means), there's always going to be people knocking things you've done. Some of it constructive criticism from knowledge and trying to be helpful. Some - just plain jealousy. With you - I think it's just a kink in your personality! :p

I did talk to John about the rails and decided to go a different route. He had problems with his as well though. Left him stranded on the mix-master in Dallas one night - on the median shoulder I believe. Hardly any tools and cars zooming by a couple of feet away... :eek:

Yeah, I got another welder - had to have one one night and went with the Home Depot special - 3200 with gas. $399 total carry out. Yeah, I'm cheap... I would have liked the one you got, but I needed it quick and this is one is still night and day compared to the Marquette. The gun/tip is the biggest difference. No more sliding tip messing up the gas feed. I'm waiting on an extension cord from some guys I saw at SEMA - made for welding machines and pretty pimp looking to boot. Even has a light that comes on when in use.... lol

I'm using a 12 foot cord with mine. I wont use anything longer unless the building is wired nicely. I've got some more cords that we dont use anymore. These cords were made for my brothers Margarita Machines hence why they are only 12 feet. But it was all I needed. Another thing is it needs its own outlet for power to be ample. Let me know if you want this other extension cord. $20 for it sounds good to him.

Did you buy chance grab some nozzle dip while you were at it? Night and day difference too! I'll never buy another low output welder for sure. This one I've got will weld everything I did up there and some. For more powerful and 10 times nicer. I keep my regulator in between 7 and 14 psi on the gas. Depending on the conditions. I didnt opt for the 3200hd or the Pro Mig 135 because of those voltage knob settings.

Im going a similar route that John did but buying the right brackets instead of making them. Aeromotive sells LS1 rails and Im waiting on something back from Tommy. I emailed them over a week ago and didnt get a reply yet. I do like the bulk fitting in the shock tower. That looked clean along with the rest of the under hood lines. I think tommy re-did those from what I understand when he was talking to me about it.



Mike

[Beenfetchedlately]

Just pointing out the obvious thats all. I dont get mad when someone criticizes my work. Just look at what they say and improve the next one. Thats how I've always been. Thats why there are soo many variations of what we did when I worked there. I couldnt get everything approved the way I wanted it but a lot of things were considered and most of the time it went my way.
:D

Ok Mike, I just got off the phone with Aeromotive they sent me to Jegs the LS1 rails will cost $189. They will have to order them it will take 2 weeks to get them. I don't know what I'm going to do. I really don't want to spend 200 bucks right now. I might have to wait until after xmas. In the mean time I will check around to see if there is any better prices I doubt it though.

A heavier gauge metal for the brackets like the ones I made and you're set. I would NOT spend $200 for he same thing you have with fittings on a different side...

Mike - Depeding on what happens with my other cord, I may take you up on that. You are right though - as I found out after you left - those junky cords and the crazy wiring in Irving did make our jobs tougher... After selling the Marquette today for $200, I found out it sells on the internet anywhere from $520-$877!!! :eek: WHY - I don't know... lol But before the guy took it(Mark), I welded some with it and thing still welds great. Most of the time.. :)

I priced the already made cords...They were far out of my price range.

Without power the welder just wont weld worth a flip. Glad you are seeing the light though. Im sure your welds look a ton better just with the new welder even with the limited selection of voltage. I welded some brackets in my garage the other day with it not even as clean as i could get the metal and it came out looking so smooth and like a roll of nickels! I was very please with my new welder after that!

Yep - these Lincolns rock. I welded for two days at Chris R's place on a boat dock of all things - that his Dad is building. And even with galvanizing(we ground away as much as possible where we could) - the thing layed down perfect beads. And on the new, clean metal he had that I welded on - It was just down-right sexy! :D

I'm not going to buy the rails way to much money. I'm going to move the braket back tap new holes and mount in the inside, or really a heavier guage metal will do the trick. The braket is flexing to much. But I took the flex out of the passenger side saturday just by twisting it a little. Oh, You can't buy just the bracket I've called everywhere.

If all else fails make something nice to go over the top to hold pressure down on them. Use a rubber insulator like how your fuel lines are ran under the car so it doesnt rub a hole in the rail.

MikeRegarding extension cords. I've got a Millermatic 210 (MIG) that I've been using a 25 foot extenstion cord on for a couple of years. I'm using four conductor 10ga cable that I bought from Home Depot. Its multistrand so it is pretty flexible. I put a 50amp plug and socket on each end and away I went. I really should step up to 8ga wire if I start turning the welder way up but I've only been as high as 5 of the seven heat ranges so far and it hasn't been a problem.

[1990whitecoupe]

I like the LS1 powered foxbodies, lots of people are going that route.
<-------wants to do something similar with a new 5.7 hemi I have not heard of anyone doing this yet. Just was wondering where you found the motor and all, and how hard was it to get it in there.

My Yank has never 60' worth a damn either. I even sent it back to them, telling them to loosen it up. He said the tranny was the problem, so I had it rebuilt...no change. Converter is just too tight. The best 60' I have gotten is a 1.58 also, but I weigh alot more than you.

I was told 10 gauge was what I should run. As far as a 220 goes I was told the same on that as well. Im sure an 8gauge cant hurt though. I did the same you did. Just bought the stuff to make them and made some for my brothers Margarita Machines. Now he doesnt even bother with them so I took them..LOL

My PT4200 hit like a hammer in my Z28. The PT3800 in the Crow doesn't hit near as hard, but the car is WAY lighter. Plus, it hasn't been launched, or ran, on spray - which should make it hit a bit more. :)

Its a 10" verter...It's not going to hit as hard as that 8" Jake has ;) On the spray it will work ok, but a 9" verter would be best IMO.

Another thing to remember - is the Mt. Everest tires on the Crow too. Throw a 26" tire on it - shortening the gearing - and it's going to hit harder as well. More consistent shifting and a shorter tire - in this weather - and it's easily in the 6's.

I understand but I want to run 6's in the heat also on motor.

It will. :) We need to get it in the LOW 6.8's or 6.7's to run 6's in the heat. Let's put some 26" tires on it and go to the track this week! :) Need a lighter driver too! ;)

Yeah, I got another welder - had to have one one night and went with the Home Depot special - 3200 with gas. $399 total carry out. Yeah, I'm cheap... I would have liked the one you got, but I needed it quick and this is one is still night and day compared to the Marquette.

Several of us here on the board have that same welder - it's pretty decent for what it is.

The Crow has some high 6's in it. With a better driver she would have ran that 6. But overall I was happy with my results.

It doesn't look like you are doing too bad to me. The times are about right for 95-96 mph..... 98 mph seems to be an average mph for that 6.XX.....Drive it like you stole it and you can probably get the #....Nice times. I'm sure there are plenty here that have rowed it to a 6.99 @ 95 mph....good luck, you are almost there.

With u driving it better run a 6. Whats ur weight 155-160 :D
I don't have the cash to buy some more tires.

[Lane]

I WISH I weighed 155-160! :o

After divulging your 'secret' to me - you better get to the track this weekend and run that 6! :D N/T the window if you want!

If yall will notice aeromotive just moved the mounting locations on the rails, and supplied an L bracket. So just buying the brackets wont do anything.
