1994 Ford Mustang GT Videos

These are videos after various videos taken over the years of my 94 GT.

3.8megs - 37secs
5.3megs - 47secs
1st time playing with my 331 Trickflow setup. A quick jab of the throttle got things rolling. Then it was all feathering to keep it on the road. The second run is a more controlled launch.
This video followed the previous video. I took a friend for a slip-n-slide ride, followed by my first power brake in the car.
3.7megs - 37secs
3.2megs - 30secs
Cousins racing each other in their mustangs. We were both practicing for events later in the evening and happened to end up side by side. I was trying to get in the shoot out. So I had the bottle ready to go. Looks like it was running a little rich and the rings are starting to show the blow by. I lost a ton of compression a few months later.

Great run N/A against my friend (and transmission builder). Classic Ford vs. Chevy match up. This one raised quite the controversy after it was over. So much so that I felt the need to isolate the run into segments.

The runs shown below are my first ever videos. They were taking on a Friday night Fun Drags at MoKan Dragway by some buddies. This is also my first attempt at preparing or editing video files AND my first night running my new ZEX nitrous kit - only running a small 75 shot which dropped me from a 15.07 to a 13.87 on street tires!
3.5megs - 19secs

1st run of the night vs. John's Chevelle with a BUILT 454 big block. His car is mean! Just has a bit of trouble getting it to hook. I think he ran a best of 12.80 this night. Too bad for him he only ran a 13.5 this run, so it looked like I kept up with him pretty good.
I have no idea who this guy was, but his car was REALLY loud. Notice the dual carbs protruding from the hood.While technically I didn't beat him by the time sheet or because I red lighted... I did beat him across the line. Gotta count for something right? It was a terrible race to tune in the car by, as I couldn't hear mine at all...
5.3megs - 28secs
4.7megs - 25secs
Ahh... this was a great run indeed. I pulled in line behind a 2000 Camaro SS (auto.) I had some time before we ran so I asked him if he wanted to run me. He got out looked over my car and said sure. BTW - it wasn't his Camaro. I have no idea how you can mess up driving an automatic, but I totally smoked this car with my best ever run of 13.87!
Well, it's the Camaro again. This time the owner is driving... he waited on the sidelines for revenge. I was a little over confident the second run and was really there to learn to drive my car better. So I changed my take off to not launching with the NOS. Not a good idea. He had a slighly better reaction time than me... I ran a 14.06, he ran a 14.12 - I barely beat him. Good thing the finish line sensor goes by tires and not bumpers! Ever seen a bumper on a Camaro? Those things are LOOONG....
5.6megs - 30secs
3.2megs - 17secs
After running the much quiter Camaro, I learned that I had a slight pinging at top end. I left and got more gas with a couple bottles of Octane Boost. I wanted to see if my car acted okay without the 75 shot of NOS... and I knew I would probably get beat, so my buddies told me to smoke it up. I wish I had been in the closer lane, but this is what we got. I let my car shift to second and held it about 4 grand. So not too hard on the motor - just the crappy tires. (The lights are much brighter in this movie, but you can still make out the neon under the car... so no, the car is not on fire. It's orange neon.)
This run was against a kid from town that I've run before. I should have run without the bottle so I wouldn't have beat him quite so bad. But again I was checking for the pinging noise. You can really hear my exhaust on this run. There was still a bit of pinging on top end, so I let off and lost a bit of time or it might have beat my 13.87 earlier. The pinging told us it was time to drop the timing down a bit more.

Hope you enjoyed my movies - please drop me a line and let me know what you think of them.
Should I make more?? Email me
