Sure would....lol.

I have actually been considering selling it, but the last ast time I sold a Whipple 3v kit it was a pita. Not sure what I want to do.

All the blues match ;).

Our Mustang has been sitting waiting out the snow as well. Both it and the Thunderbird have been garage buddies since November.

Wish I'd known about this.  If ever I find one for a good price it will be a backup for the one on the car.  You never know.

Non-intercooled on the Magna?

The blues are close but will have to see them in the sun.

This winter just keeps getting worse here...another 12" today and 2-4" tomorrow.

The Magnacharger is intercooled.

I'm still come here once in a while to see everybody's rides and see what's on the classified forum. Took some new pictures of my ride:

great pics!  After pictures like that with your grabber blue 'midst the tombs, have you thought of naming your car something sinister or "walking dead"-themed? :flame:

How much of a difference did that blower make?

Thanks....never named any of my cars but Im open to suggestions!


I should find out today what difference it makes. Opening day at Maple Grove. I'm using the stock pulley, injectors and tune that the kit came with. I do have a set of ID injectors and have talked to a few tuners about writing a custom tune.

Any guesses on et? 7lbs boost, cat deletes, gt500 axlebacks and drag radials. No suspension mods.

Have fun.  I'll guess you'll get a pass or two at 11.7-11.8.  You already have experience, and are already dialed in close to that.  It takes a lot more power and experience to wring out a tenth or two from 12 second passes than from 15 second passes.

I've never named my cars either (although a few have "named" themselves)... if you were going with a walking dead theme, "Terminus" comes to mind.  "Those who arrive survive."

11.6 is my guess.

Good guesses!!! made 3 runs all in th 11.6x range. Best was a 11.6@121 with a 1.78 60'. Car needs a custom tune bad as the shift points and a/f are way off.
