Well, took my first trip of the year to the drag strip with the cougar. Heck, the first trip to the strip with the cougar ever since I built it. (I was waiting on getting a real man's axle, no one wheel wonders for me.
)
We had 3 Cougars and a Cyclone with us from our club. A red 67 with a 514 crate motor that runs 11 flats all day long, a red 70 Eliminator with a stroked out windsor that runs 11.3's on the bottle, a Crazy lookin' Cyclone with a 429SCJ that runs 13 flats all day.
Then there's me.
I ran a best of 14.22 at 95mph, .514 light, 2.09 60 foot... Not bad considering it still has untouched stock heads on it.
Then one of my buddies offered to sell me his complete Aussie Clevor setup that he's decided not to use... He's already got everything including headers, heads, stud girdle valve covers, gaskets and intake... wooohoooo... I'm about to be a badass with 2.19 intake valves.... That'll fix that wheezing above 5500...
I'm going to try and get it all put together by the end of the summer.
All in all it was a great time. You'd think I would've taken some friggin' pictures eh? Doh.
