You have got a beautiful setup! Looks like you even got some wrinkels in the tires on the launch... Those are really impressive numbers, congratulations. My new wheels and drag radials arrive next Wednesday... can't wait to hook 'em up! Most tracks make you put a roll cage in if you go under 11.5, is that one of your next mods?

ShelbyGT/SC Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Awesome job Louie. Looks like the calcs I did a few months ago were pretty close. See post #6 here: http://forum.shelbyautos.com/index.php?showtopic=1641&hl= I finally got my helmet tonight. Heading out to the New England Dragway next Wednesday night to give her my first ever attempt. From what I understand, I should have about the same HP as you but I am not expecting those kind of numbers my first time around. I'll be happy if I can pull in the 13's. Cudafly, what's the latest run you're pulling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorOfChicken Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 is it unreasonable to look for mid 12s running the "stock" Paxton Novi 1200 (intercooled) in a 5 speed manual if you can hook up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask a few questions on your mods ? -what did you change to get 11.5 psi from the paxton sc ?? -which alkey injector system are you using and where did you position nozzle ? -Were rwhp numbers with or without alchol injection ? -What drive shaft did you select ( I am considering a Coast) -are yourunning stock clutch and exhaust manifold ? Thanks...I am in middle of build myself and certainly impressed by your results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 -which alkey injector system are you using and where did you position nozzle ? Can someone explain alcohol injection? Is that like N2O but with Methanol instead? EDIT 1.0: Is THIS description accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamRide Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Can someone explain alcohol injection? Is that like N2O but with Methanol instead? It cools the charge that is going into the motor thus more power. I used to run a Alky motor and it was fantastic for power, could run any timing you wanted and detonation was zero and that was with 14.5 to 1 compresson.

So for simplicity, it's just a 50/50 mix of water and methanol injected directly into the throttle body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clawsonbob Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 So for simplicity, it's just a 50/50 mix of water and methanol injected directly into the throttle body? basically yes....needs to be injected at higher rpms ( usually over 3000 rpm) otherwise, it quenches combustion. otherwise, as noted, cools the charge AND make more tire bills come faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyGT/SC Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 With the assistance from some of my friends here on this forum, I have decided to wait a week or 2 before I make my runs at the dragway. Will post then with my results. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywickedshelby Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Outstanding Louie, outstanding.

DreamRide Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Is that a 17" wheel your are running? and what is the DR size also.................. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CudaFly Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Is that a 17" wheel your are running? and what is the DR size also.................. Thanks. Just a guess but I'd say 17x8.5 stock Ford wheels with Mickey Thomson ET Street 26X11.50-17LT tires. Great pics!!! Is that air I see under the front tires... really impressive.

Is that air I see under the front tires... really impressive. You right Cuda I bought the package from Brenspeed! I just order a Truetrac and 31 spline Moser axles. On my last run one tire was in the water causing a one wheel burnout possible clutches got fried. Installing deletes because between 2800 rpm to 3100 rpm I have a flat spot due to the butter flies opening too late. This will give me 4 to 5hp more!!
