Curious as to what the fastest 03/04 eaton is going. Don't care if it's auto/stick IRS/solid. More or less if it's got spray or not. Thanks!
High 9's is the fastest I've read about personally. Here's the post, very crappy DA to boot (LVMS):
Hey Guys! I'm Frank,
I'm not much of the type to post on the boards much- I don't like drama, what I do like is going FAST! with a bit of a challenge (just ask Alex) and I really like how people always ask me "How I Did It" or "that's impossible". I see that optimization is key.
I'm very secretive and I'm just usually the shadow in the back ground because I don't like to step on anyone elses toes and I figured it's a waste of space if I posted one of my 10 second passes (My old setup was IRS 6spd, stock fuel system
10.74@129 race weight of 3930). I'm not new to the racing scene, I do my home work, and I try to be really dedicated as much as I can in what I do. I've have had my Terminator for about four years now and Alex and I have done everything to it, from building the engine to setting up the rear suspension to doing to auto conversion and tuning it, I just happen to be a bit methodical.
I'd like to say that this board has gave me a good foundation about modular fords
.
However, for those of you that know me know that I've been fighting the stock eaton war for the longest time (I guess you can say since I've bought my car
)...
Last night it finally paid off! My full weight 3650lb race weight cobra, with not a single pound of weight reduction (well-weight reduction which I would consider untasteful)
that has the spare tire in the trunk has finally gone
9.93@136!
(Well, 135.80
)For those of you that know LVMS, you know the air kinda sucks, the day was a 4400ft day and 95 degrees out. I started out in TNT going 10.1@134 twice like it was clock work, I thought it had it in her but my best buddy Alex (SVTboy) and Dana from VWR knew it had it last night to go a 9, Dana went out of his way to bring me 2 bags of ice. My girl got off work and immediately brought me 6 more bags.
They spent hours helping me cool my car down, charge my battery, while I made sure everything else was going to be on point. It ended up being the last pass of the night when I went the 9.93. It Eclipsed the 60' in 1.4 Seconds Flat. The eight in
[email protected] and as I said above a 9.9!!!
Special Thanks to everyone that helped out!
My partner Alex from Voodoo for putting up with my shit all these years!
Dana Westover from VWR for always being there!!!
My Girl for all the nights of support while I worked and she stayed home!
I'm sure I'm missing some people, but all the people that came by to help, THANKS THANKS THANKS!!! You guys helped make this happen!!!
As for my mods, well since I do have countless nights of R&D, I'm usually a bit hesitant to give out the info...but I'll share what I have with you guys because this is the board where I've gained knowledge about mod motors.
It's an '03 Cobra of course
The car has full weight for the most part, what I consider to be tasteful (which is my opinion) weight reduction is taking out a part and replacing it with a lighter part that's just as durable if not more (Like Replacing K members, A Arms, etc). I don't have the heart to hack up a car that I love so dearly.
I have my stereo in it and I do bump it all the way down the track.
