Shit. The discussion thread link is toast on the front page....so I will just going in

Eddie...I love the fact that you have white walls on in the picture!

Awesome, Eddie!

Might I ask what the car shifts at (rpm), and how you shift it (in drive, or manually)?

What do you mean by SSC headers?

And where do you race?

When I bracket race I leave it in drive because it's very consistent .It shifts 1-2 at 5100 & 2-3 at 4700.On the best times I manually shifted all gears at 5300. The headers are Mustang shorties that Ford Motorsport used to sell.I believe they were standard on Saleen Mustang SSC's of the late 80's early 90's hence the SSC name. I generally race at Englishtown & Atco in NJ.The pic is from the E-Town raceway news.

Action shot of my MGM.

This is for anybody who is going to call bs on the above time slips.This was in June 04 when the corrected alt was 2500 above whereas the alt.on the Dec 03 passes was 1000 below that's why the slower et.Also when I bracket race I deep stage to cut a light so I'm giving up about a tenth in et there also.

My MGM

Here are the best time slips for my 89 MGM LS.Did the whole HO swap back in 98 & along the way added GT-40 heads ,Cobra intake.List of mods for these passes with GT-40 stuff is:HO cam advanced 4*,FRPP SSC headers,2/1/4" h-pipe with duals to the rear,underdrive pulley,,Baumann shift kit & 4.10's with a trac lock.Car has stock converter because I already have a Mustang race car & I use this to tow the Stang so I wasn't going to go crazy modifying it also.Car weighed right at 4100lbs with me in it.

Went back again with the 3.55's a limited slip. The track wasn't prepared right and no one was getting traction. A 2.051 60ft time isn't bad for street tires though.

[Pesty351]

Ran her at the 1/8 mile today not bad for open 3.08s in the back.
