It's such a good build (as usual) with so many subtle tweaks and changes that you could easily miss.

A Top car that runs the numbers too!

I said at the Mustang owners club track day last year I had a great time but would be back with more power. I did that to the tune of 11.55 @ 116 with a 1.55 60ft, I’ll be faster than that next year…

In an effort to optimise my 60ft times I pressed out the rubber front spring eye bushes and replaced them with solid aluminium ones which have a steel sleeve which freely rotates. This will help the rear suspension to react faster. Also as slick to arch clearance is very tight at the front I made a 1/8” spacers to move the front mount back a touch.

11.55, that's a fast machine. Would leaves supercars for dust.

Been running the car through the full exhaust system so far so going to try open headers at the HRD’s to see if I can pick up some HP. I’ve made collector extensions which should pick up some low end torque. Luckily the whole system comes off in one piece with a little manipulation.

Lovely. =D>

I’ve often wondered about cut outs, no idea if any genuine hp advantage, or if just lovely noisy.

Love that, though. Proper job. 8-)
