Martin, I note that you are using 2.75 gears. I promised myself I would not run over 5500 RPM. 135 mph is actually about 5700. It still wanted to go more. I'm guessing with 2.75 gears and something like 28-29 inch tall tires, you are running something like 160 to 165mph?
By the way, (although a little off the FE topic), I just did that Shelby 1 inch lowering of the A-arms. That made an unbelievable difference. The car used to have significant bump steer and plowed the front fairly bad in tight corners. Lowering the A-armsalmost eliminated the bump steer and dramatically reduced the front end plow. Having the PI intake may have helped that too since it takes about 55 lbs off the front.
And who are you calling a geezer? When I'm sitting in my Shelby, I'm a stunningly handsome, ultra studly young 54 year old. I am clearly a hero in my own mind. Unfortunately, when I step out of the car, I am transformed into a stuby little old gray hair fart of a wannabe.
Mike and I took some video. If I can figure out how to get it onto the computer, I'll send something to Mr. F to post. The audio alone is worth trying to share. |
