Nice!

 :clap :clap :clap
 :burnout

 :rock

nice

That's Rock'in!  :ban

I wouldn't have expected it to run that good that quickly.  Great job!

What rpm were you shifting it at?

Those are some GREAT times!!!!


How are you making those headers fit between your shock towers?



The Merc is jealous of you ...      :rock

Great Job DeeAnn! :ban :rock So glad to hear it's working well and it's doing what you want. Are you still thinking of swapping the cam this winter?

We were shocked when the very first pass was a 10.97 @ 121mph.  The only adjustment we made all weekend was changing to a 7000rpm limiter chip.  Kept hitting the 6800 chip on some of the shifts and before the traps.  Recorded a pass on the playback tach and it showed that I was shifting around 6700 on both shifts, and crossing at around 6800.  I have the shift light set at 6300, but I guess I shift when I'm damn good and ready...lol  ;D   Later in the weekend (in better air), the car ran a 10.84 and a 10.88 at 123-124mph. 

That is awesome Dee Ann.  You have that Cougar flying...

Since my goal was to get into the 10's....and we're there already....we're gonna run it 'as is' for a while and just have fun.  My general philosophy is 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'  :) . 


It was snug, to say the least.  The driver's side header has been "massaged".... :whistling:

OMG what a big difference!
Really enjoy fast women...

btw...  I quit mafia wars  LOL!

Congrats DeeAnn

Don't start Candy Crush Saga....I hear it's very addicting  :orglaugh

Thanks for all the kind words, guys.  It was a long 4 years, but this was well worth the wait... :)

 :burnout

Wow great job! :clap

I was almost going to question the cam as Im sure Duane said theres some power available but elected not to as I agree its a new combo make some passes and enjoy it the way it is Im sure itll go faster with seat time. its rockin already

Couldn't agree more, hopefully I can get up there to watch it run sometime. I may be bringing up the two youngest ones for Christmas to my parent's house, but there isn't anything going on at the track that time of year up there... :orglaugh

Yes, Duane said there is definitely more power available with a cam swap, and he did make a recommendation.  When we decide to make the swap, we know which one we're going to get  :naughty:  .

I didnt know dave sold it lol

Don't feel bad. Dave can't even keep track of him self with all the different directions he goes with builds. LoL

Yeah, and I'm really glad he did!!!   :ban

Gotta let it look that way to throw off the detractors. :pimp

And TFS 225's. :burnout

it says those canfields are ported (by Duane Busch iirc)

its got me excited about my new engine which has some similarities  :party

DB did the heads, I don't think AFR's would make much difference.

You mean High Ports?

lol according to TFS the high port is close enough to a high port to get sued over and lose  :dunno

I said TFS, not AFR. I'm not fan of Canfield, seen too many of them crack over the years.

We need photos!.

Those TFS that you are talking about might have less shock-tower clearance than her Canfields, I'm not sure?

I sold the wagon, and then I got to driving this LTD and liked it too much as a daily driver. I decided the 418 would be impractical as a daily driver and would be more fun with a little motor. About that time DeeAnn said something about being in the market for a stroker windsor and we worked out a deal. I delivered the motor to her place last December, in the back of a rental mini-van :orglaugh after putting on her timing cover and oil pan. Our visit was very brief, but she is a very nice lady, and quite the looker as well. Glad to hear everything worked out well for her and this motor is doing what she wants.

Do any of you guys think the 60ft is good where it's at? I suggested to her the other night that she try punching from an idle on the last yellow vs. trying to load the converter. I think that might let it flash more RPM then trying to load it as the front tires won't hold it now when trying to load it.


Yeah you did. Don't know where that came from, me and my attention span :bang :orglaugh

Wow, that's some haul...and in December, no less!  Kudos, sir, you're a hell of a guy!  :clap

I've heard many of the early 192's were prone to cracking.  Can't say I've heard of any problems from the later 195.  :dunno

The trip wasn't just for that. My son was being let out of college in Columbus Ohio, and my parent's live about 120 miles from DeeAnn, so I made a weekend out of it. Parents were stoked I got to be there for my birthday for the first time in probably 30 years and they got to see their grandson.

Did a cult kidnap you when you were 10?  Was Rodney the cult leader?

They drink silicate water.  :whistling:

And drive their daily with a 8" converter all around town ...      ;D
