My Super Snake made the cover of 5.0 mag

Well this caught me by surprise, I didn't know I was going to be on the cover. I was happy with my car just being in a magazine. It took forever it seem to get my first copy because my parents had to mail it to me in Afghanistan. Here is the link to the article.

http://www.mustang50magazine.com/fea...por/index.html

Follow up on the car right now, The car is running at the Oct Texas mile next month. Due to me being stuck in Afghan this time I will not be able to run the car. The last time we ran the car we were dealing with the car running hot. So we did a few thing to help it stay cool.

Mods,
-Installed a NX system to spray a 75 shoot
-CF Sparco steering wheel is being installed
-Rear view deletes, still need to be powder coated
-Lithium Ion batterie is relocated to the glove box, that way we can add a intercooler box where the batterie was.
-Running the LC KB 3.6 supercharger fluid to the radiator fluid.
-New Griggs front suspension so we can slam it down a few more inches.
-New Hoosiers that will be a inch taller

New Dyno numbers in a few weeks, I'll keep you guys posted.

I love them both about the same, The Shelby has that cool muscle car feel and alot of people always come up to it a the races to tell me how sick the car looks. But my Z has about the same HP and is way lighter, my Z walks the Shelby from 60.

My Z runs around mid 9's in the 1/4, but i have only be down the track about 4 or 5 time to get that time. I am sure with a few more passes it would run a low 9 sec pass. Havent got to run the SS right now in the 1/4, once it hits 200mph in the mile we are going to put a TH400 in it with a nice set of Bogarts. With the power i am at and if the car hooks, it should be right around a 8.9 or 9.0 1/4.
