It's official !

I can't make Fun Ford Weekend. Since I changed my mind about the stall converter it pushed things back because the converter is built as you order it. The converter is not do in until next week. Once it gets there then the car can be put back together within a day. Problem is the suspension will still need to be dialed in and there is a 3 day wait to get in. 5th year that I will not be able to Race in this event. This saddens me

sorry to hear that bro i know it sounds bad but just means your car will be more bad ass next year. i have never been to one either

 

[orange395w]

or broke for the 6th year! LOL.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

keep yer head up bro you have a bad ass stang! hopefulyl u can do stangs by the bay or the Ws cruise

 

[orange395w]

I don't think this is going to be a cruiser. It will be pretty loud and with drag suspension and an automatic it won't make for a very pleasant ride. I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that while doing 65mph I'll probably be steady @ 3000rpm

next year... We still have Barona and PSCA we are a little closer to getting our Race Car...

 

[blackstallion06]

Once this tranny is in I'm not pulling it out unless I break it!

 

[wickedstangs]

Bob, oh are they on an AODE?

 

[orange395w]

What do you mean? Is what on an AODE?

 

[wickedstangs]

Ford Automatic Overdrive Electronic I have one sitting in my garage and want to know if they can work on it for our Race Car..

 

[orange395w]

Most definiteley. David already talked to my tranny guy about his car. He said for $900 he would have david back on the road with neck snapping shifts from his AODE. The only drawback is the AODE's can't handle alot of HP.

 

[wickedstangs]

1000 HP is enough...

 

[orange395w]

AODE can only handle in the 400hp range and I think thats pushing it. After that it's gonna cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[wickedstangs]

are you crazy.. Call me right now.. we need to talk shipmate..

 

[orange395w]

if you think a stock AODE can handle any kind of HP in that range good luck with your bomb.

 

[wickedstangs]

man you have been out of the racing scence far too long.. Don't let it cloud your judgement you know how I do it.. Right
