[Emwun Garand]

Yeah, no telling what will happen with the weather here in Texas. Just check the board or look out your window an hour before the GTG time. lol

That didn't work for the gtg we had in Lewisville, lol. Hurricane blew through all quick like.

[Eaglei532]

Alright well I'll just look in the morning then

[Eaglei532]

Anyone up?

[DirtyD]

Looks like there are still storms to the north of DFW, but the first batch broke apart before really doing much. Idk what the second round will do...

[DirtyD]

222

[juiced86stang]

Just looked at the radar and there is a good batch of storms headed this way. The stang will stay in its nice dry garage. I can still come and hang it this afternoon though if anyone else is down.

[Eaglei532]

well its at the mall right? so they have a garage im guessing?

[DirtyD]

Unfortunately my car is my only car. :(

I'm going to watch the radar and might head up there even if it rains.

I will be headed down to Crandall this afternoon though if anyone wants to join me

[DirtyD]

Yeah, they have a garage to park in, just a matter of finding enough spots for everyone. And I think it's only 2 stories with an open roof

[Eaglei532]

Damn you stone briar, if we didnt have soooo much land in Texas they would have built a multi story garage

[Midnight11]

im gonna call my dad around 1130 since he lives right there and see how the weather is

[Midnight11]

just watched the weather report and it looks like the cell will be past frisco around 2 or so

[juiced86stang]

So we gonna wait until later to meet up??

[Phuck Phace]

I'm still down.

[Eaglei532]

I'm at the mall, garage is almost completely empty, i came from Plano and only got a few drops on my windshield the whole way. Just throw the cars near my cobra on the back row of the garage!!!! We can walk from here

[Midnight11]

sounds good ill be there around 1230

[Phuck Phace]

I'm going to jump in the shower and then head up there.

[Eaglei532]

Cool deal, see you guys in a bit

[Grandpa]

Out. I used up my free day with the nice weather yesterday thinking it was going to storm today. My car is staying in the garage today.

[Tork]

ditto

so you only take your car out once on the weekend? we went to kellers last night too

[Grandpa]

so you only take your car out once on the weekend? we went to kellers last night too

It just varies depending on how the wife feels these days in her condition. Wish I would have known about Kellers, I would have done that because I was already out!

[Phuck Phace]

You would have know if you had a FB, if you want to roll out today you can ride with me.

[GunsUp]

Out.

Time to get the Christmas decorations down from the attic.

its not even thanksgiving yet...

[Grandpa]

You would have know if you had a FB, if you want to roll out today you can ride with me.

Haha, yeah I'm sure I miss out on a lot of events since so many people revolve their social life around Facebook. I'm just not interested in what people are doing every 5 minutes or reading their political/religious/personal drama rants on a daily basis.

Out.

Time to get the Christmas decorations down from the attic.

Yeah, it is that time. We're about to do the same thing. Gotta drag everything out, see what made it through the summer heat in the attic, get the lights ready replacing bulbs etc.

its not even thanksgiving yet...

You will understand one day when you have a family and a house of your own. The holidays take a lot of time up and planning in advance. When you have a family, the time flys by. Christmas will be here before you know it. Trust me on this. LOL!

[Tork]

We are sitting in the very back row.

[GunsUp]

its not even thanksgiving yet...

Clark Griswald doesn't have **** on me!

My sister & bro in law just had their first baby so my mother wants everything to be perfect this year.

We're skipping Thanksgiving to go to our farm in Louisiana

[blownaltered]

Out. I used up my free day with the nice weather yesterday thinking it was going to storm today. My car is staying in the garage today.

Glad you made it by on your one day. It was good bullshitting with you. Finally got the car all cleaned up. Next it will need a buffing but the tune up is next weekend, then the dyno to see what needs to be done if anything.

[Grandpa]

Yeah, it was good to see you again and I"m glad to see you back in the hobby. Just let me know when you want to cruise out to TS. It's going to be nice outside all this week!

[blownaltered]

Ill send you a text tomorrow to set something up later in the week. I think I'm going to do the tune up and then have it put on the dyno to see where it's at. Really hate to start dropping money on stuff and not even know where I'm at now. The car hasn't been on a dyno in almost 10 years. Looking forward to making it to some events. I'll bring the old 5.0 to your new ones.

I'm guessing it will make around 450-475rw which isn't bad at all for as old as that setup is. A new tune, get rid of that FMU, some new injectors and it should crack 500rw pretty easily as long as the head unit is still making boost and there is no issue with any seals.

There is still some cool car shows coming up before the end of the year we can hit up and there is always Kellers on Saturday nights. :)

I'm wanting to try and make it through the rest of the year with the fmu if possible. Since I get to have another surgery on December 18th, only 3 this year not bad. Then I will start getting everything together to get rid of the fmu and get a chip burned. Not wanting to push to much power don't want to have to build a dart block 331 stroker yet, but if she does blow that's what I'm doing. The block only has 42k miles on it so I want to make it safe and cruise.

[Phuck Phace]

Kellers sounds good, Saturday?

With my 93 Cobra, I saw much better improved drivability and idle quality when I finally tuned it and ditched the FMU. But you will be fine until then, may have to put up with a lil surging here and there. Other than that, keep the RPM's down like I said before. Those FMU's can be a lil sketchy and the only thing in that that FMU keeping your motor alive is that lil diaphram. So don't blow it it out of there! lol.

Kellers sounds good, Saturday?

I'm down. :)

[Bearded Banger]

Kellers sounds good, Saturday?

I can probably make this.

[GunsUp]

Kellers sounds good, Saturday?

What time?

[Phuck Phace]

Not sure, I may pregame at Hooters Plano for a little bit.
What time do you guys want to roll to Kellers?

[DirtyD]

Rahr Brewery tour on Saturday with my girlfriend and her parents. Y'all have fun. :)

[Midnight11]

im tired of driving all the way out there

[Grandpa]

Around 7-8pm is the best time to arrive at Kellers. Anything past that the parking lot gets full.

[maxpayne]

Is Keller's the hamburger joint near Skillman and Northwest Hwy?

[Phuck Phace]

Yes

Sweet. I live in the Village right at that intersection. I could literally throw and hit Keller's with a baseball. Haha. See yall there on Saturday.

[Midnight11]

[Grandpa]

Northwest Hwy and Abrams.

Is it a general car gtg on Saturday nights?

I sound like a newb:van:

Yes. It's the longest standing car GTG in DFW. All kinds of hot rods show up there to hang out. It's decent burgers and beer too. :)

[Midnight11]

cash only fyi

[Phuck Phace]

Beer is $2, bring cash because they don't take debit car.
See you gurls there.

[maxpayne]

Good to know on the cash only. Thanks!

[BLK2012GT]

I need to go to this Keller this one day.

[Grandpa]

I need to go to this Keller this one day.

Kellers is fun. A lot of badass rides and easy to find a run if you want one. Fun place to hang out with friends and have a burger/beer.

How often do you go out there? And it's every saturday?

[Phuck Phace]

Another handstand contest eh?

[Grandpa]

How often do you go out there? And it's every saturday?

I used to go out there every weekend and I just started going back out there again since I got this car. It's been every Saturday for at least 25 years, maybe even longer. Always been a fun cruise night.

[11bangbang]

Another handstand contest eh?
Haha! I've been practicing

bad ass Donnie, Steve said you bought your dad's ole vert. I had planned to, but now that Im getting it running, my dad wants to keep it a while. lol Will be cool to see it at the gtg's though. I dunno your combo, but Im pretty good at guessing #s... if its a fmu S trim car on a stock block, depending on heads and boost, Id guess 430ish rw for a normal safe setup...

Stock bottom end 302 with edelbrock performer heads, rpm intake, if I remember correct 1.6 rockers but could be 1.7 will have to look into that, 70 mil throttle body, i beloeve an e cam but will have to find the paper work ( may f cam but again i will find out) and a Paxton novi 2000 on 10lbs. Last time it was on the dyno was 8 or 9 years ago. Put down around 475 to 500 back then. Just wanting to fix a few things and put it on the dyno to see where it's at safety wise and power. Then after the first of the year I will change the injectors, exhaust, and do a chip. Just wanting to enjoy it for a few weeks till I get put on crutches again.

My dad's car had almost an identical setup with a s trim, 42s and a chip, it made 476 @6000 and 10psi on 93. On race gas at same boost it made approximately 530-540. Don't spin it over 6000. Lol

[Grandpa]

7'ish to close.

6k? Are you high? Even under optimal circumstances you shouldn't shift a fox stock block above 5500. The harmonics from overspinning the motor is what kills the block when it splits right down the valley.

Add to that a blower pulling on the front crank pulley and a FMU for fuel management, spinning it that high is just asking for a blown motor. Using a FMU is like putting a Band-Aid on AIDS. Pointless. It's just there to barely make the car run and certainly not something that should be used as a source of reliability.

My 93 Cobra made over 500rw on the stock block for over 5 years. With a solid tune, a chip and 42lb injectors, it idled good considering the size of the large cam. The reason it will still running like a champ when I sold it was because I didn't beat the snot out of it and I didn't rev it above 5500rpm. I rarely drove it hard at all knowing the motor was on borrowed time.

Well until I get the a/f checked I'm not going past 4500. After the first the car will get bigger injectors and a tune. Till then I just want to make sure she doesn't go boom.

Strokd that sounds about right. Don't really want to push to much past that since the blocks don't like it. Just got the car don't want to blow it up yet.

[STROKD]

Had a good Ford mechanic friend in Cali with a blown 88 Saleen, and he was the one who told me to not to rev it over 6k.

Just going off his recommendation. His car ran mid 11s @127 in the mid 90s on 17" Bridgestones and 3600lbs.

Steve are you planning on going out Saturday night to Kellers. Just wondering if you are planning on trying to catch the UFC fights somewhere around there? Return on GSP!

[Grandpa]

I think im going to Clints to watch it. Condit is going to be a solid test for gsp. Im expecting five rounds of gsp holding condit down on the mat.
