    Freaky Ford guy just joined wanted to say, 'hi'. Just ran my 74 at a 'test N tune'. God, those 3.00 gears really suck. 4.11's on the way. Know it has a 302, suspect it could be a 347 stroker. Edelbrock stampings on everything. Happy to be here.:)

    Welcome to the board. Where are you racing? I ran SIR this weekend. Are you at Speedworld. Not sure if Firebird ran this weekend or not. I should be at Firebird on the 24th.:Welcome:

    SIR Test-N-Tune

    Thanks for the welcomes from all that replied, it is appreciated. (y)

    To Don, I ran at SIR, and think that we have met a few weeks ago again at SIR in Tucson. Your ride wasn't running well at the time.

    Seems to me that I did see you run at SIR last weekend, 4/9/10. Low 12's I think.:clap:

    Look forward to seeing more of you and your runs. Plan on being at next TNT on 4/30/10, once again at SIR. Hope to see you there, too.

    Replacing 3.00 gears with 4.11's along with new radiator. Couldn't run any better then low 15's with the 3.00 gears and had heating issues with radiator that came with the ride.

    Will post more later, along with pic's. :yup:

    Welcome from AZ, I'm up by speedworld but a few of my friends are local to SIR. I haven't been down there in a while might have to make a trip soon.

    Okay, I'll probably be there for the next team race on May 1. I ran a 12.30 there last week. I run .3 faster at Firebird. So it was right where I wanted it. I had a .038 light second round and the other guy had a .024. I broke out trying to stay ahead of him. I found out the other week that I blew a head gasket, so I replaced both of them. See you there.:)
