SS/E 2008 Mustang at Atlanta

D.Holly · 04-16-2009, 09:22 PM

After 2 passes at Atlanta, Jimmy has gone 9.913 with the COBRA JET in SS/E.
I'm sure there is a lot left in this combination.

Dont forget they have to get around Stephen and Horace Johnson for class. No easy feat. What was the DQ about in 1st round of qualifing?

Ok folks is the sky falling yet? How many of you think he is holding .4 to .5 tenths in the bag to beat Stephen in his dads 64 Fairlane today, btw which is running better than I have ever seen that car run. Stephen, what the heck did you guys do over the winter? Great run Stephen! Good first competitive pass for the Cobra also in S/S!

I talked to George yesterday and he told me the DQ was from contaminated Fuel. I don't think there is any way they could run a fast as Steven Johnson.

At least the Cobra Jet is running on the same weight break for Super Stock. Mark Beaver's A/SA 98 Camaro with an 8lb weight break went to a 12 lb weight break (SS/KA) just by switching to Super Stock. SS/KA has a softer index also. Sounds like the SS horsepower factor for the Camaro is more bogus than the Cobra Jets. I also would like to know Bruce, how you possibly know what gear is in the Mustang? Were you the one who installed it in the car?

George, Question, do these 5.4's utilize fords VCT system on the supercharged version?

My car is not a A/SA car at 8LBS, It is a C/SA at 9lbs or SS/JA at 11lbs. So, K was not a bid deal.
Thanks

DQ was for fuel - brand new can of VP.

Smitty,
a SS/E (Stocker) car tested last week. 9.65 @146mph with mid 4.4 gearing. I am amazed that you are still trying to blow smoke or really don't get what is going on here. The sky isn't falling, however the Ford charade is busted.
