Sorry I was running late Paul....would have loved to see that run.

Amazing what a simple chip and gear change does!


Thanks again for taking the videos.....I'll PM you my address soon.

Gotta find a place to host 'em!


Good to see you again....see you again in the spring!

Very good, Hack, it's a shame you only got one shot at it. Next time?

The car was left by Ford at 97% and what you did to yours makes it just plain fun, 100 % fun. The 1/4 at 97 mph...faster than the average bear.:beer:

Nice numbers.... Glad I could help as usual. I'm hoping to hit Lapeer drag way late November. That’s the great thing about that track. They stay open till the snow fly’s.

I went to Norwalk this past Friday with my MM and things didn’t go so well. On my second run my MM went into a violent wheel-hop, and I didn’t get out of the throttle soon enough and it broke an axle. To think this could have happened to me one of the numerous times I drove the car very far from home to hit some drag racing.
This Monday I'm going to look into the limo axles Zach says are 31 spline and will fit our MM's. Sucks because I just recently installed a 28spline Eaton in the car, which I'm sure I could sell if it didn’t get hurt Friday. Still though…. More money!!

Being that my MM still has the stock short block in it and my recent luck... I'm sure I'll be trailering it to Atlanta on Nov 6th.

Thanks
