RebekahsZ Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Just returned from ECTA (East Coast Timing Association) event at Wilmington, OH. A1979 Mustang with a carbureted 4.8LS and a faceplated Jericho 4spd with only an airdam set a class record at 173mph in the mile using a 3.08 gear. A turbocharged and injected LS-powered 1953 Studebaker went 202mph with the help of an air-to-water intercooler. It was great hearing that Mustang with the small LS roaring down the track at 7-grand in top gear! The Studebaker was so refined and developed that it looked like it was out for a Sunday drive. I will be returning next year with the intent to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECUAdam Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Should have taken your car. You always stress over the rules, most of the tech guys at these events want to see your car run about as bad as you wanna drive it. Id like to see what you do next time.

RebekahsZ Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 The quiet knocking sound in the oil pan of my truck and zero oil pressure at idle was a big part of the decision not to take the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alainburon Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 oh oh, that does not sound good at all. Hopefully it's just an oil pump and you caought it before any engine damage happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
